Alright, I've got a question that's mostly hydraulics but since part of a fuel system I'd ask ya'll since I am not a hydraulics person.
For my Bonneville destroker I'm going to be running Bosch K-Jet MFI and I need more capacity than a single system will give me so I'm planning running a pair in parallel. The thing is that that gives me 8 injectors (Volvo 240 2.3L I4 Turbo units) and I only have 6 cylinders in a dry flow EFI intake so I'm not thinking spraying just behind the throttle body is such a good idea. As such I was thinking that I'd manifold 2 lines from each unit into a rail on each bank (4 total per bank) and run 3 lines out to the injectors (3 per bank).
The hydraulic question: If you feed in a fixed amount of fluid (fuel) from 2 different metering orifices with constant pressure into a manifold, is what comes out of a single outlet the sum of the two flows since the outlet is just a spring loaded poppet valve?
I think it would be the sum assuming the injector will flow to the maximum flow that the fuel distributors will provide. Your thoughts?
