So you run more than 3800 psi??

Don't think so. However, I do know that I am not that far below 3800 that would make a radical difference.

No, as far as the oil output at idle. The reason why I think i have the problem of the loud injectors, is the fact my single IPR is dealing with the output of two pumps flow at 650rpm, and the IPR cannot make the truck sound just like it would if it had a IPR for each pump, in your case. No Joe, as far as the output, i am talking about volume at idle, not psi at full bore. BTW you're system isnt shimmed to hold 3800psi.

Your probably in the 3200 psi range. Yes, BTS uses 2 IPR's.

Kris, did you ship UPS? That's expensive!

I would think that much more ICP would make an injector make some noise, but I don't have a clue. I did read that Bob Riley thinks that super high ICPs do more harm than good. I think he said good volume at 3000-3200 is plenty. Someone check the numbers -- I'm going off bad memory... I think I'll just go with the increased volume single pump of one flavor or another. I have no intentions of going with huge injectors, so the same 160cc singles Kris is talking about are about as far as I want to go. PMRs you know...

I know it is more than what I need but I thought it was in the 3400 - 3500 which is why I thought it wasn't that radically different. Still, why would the injectors sound as noisy as he said?

I put $2000 for insurance, because at this point, that would be the only more bad luck i could have with it. They lose it somewhere in transit, you not receive it, then ask why i didn't insure it for the full retail value of it. I Knew that if it didn't ever arrive at your shop, you wouldn't ship me another one free of charge.

Gotcha... Tnx. There's so much to take in on this subject, and my head's still spinning from reading almost all of the NSX thread today.

Bob and the guys at Stealth both think that. Joey and many others who are running extreme ICP's will say it's beneficial. It seems you'll find different opinions on who you ask.

It could also be that those running extreme ICPs might have a use so they think it is beneficial.

By no means am I an expert here guys, just following along and thinking though. What are the possibilities of the fact that because the pump had an oil leak, that it could of also been sucking air too. There by injecting air and causing the severe injector noise that Kris was hearing . Country

You would think that if there was a leak the oil, at that pressure would be coming OUT while the engine was running. Even if it did suck a little air when the engine cooled down, I would imagine that it gets pushed out real quick when startup occurs, wouldn't you?

Yeah I really can't say with an oil leak. It sounded as though Kris had a bad one too. I know as most of us here that when you change an oil pump, until you drive it awhile too get the air out they sound pretty bad. Hopefully his injectors are Ok though. I guess we'll find out in acouple of weeks after he changes out to the BO. Good luck with that Kris. Country
