WHY KINSLER ?
BECAUSE THEY DO IT RIGHT

Three-piece unit to fit Chevrolet small block V8

THE FEATURES THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE


1) Three Piece Manifold  The two sides of the manifold and the valley plate are completely separate.

A) Allows a perfect fit against the cylinder head even with a decked block or angle milled heads, or if
something just isn’t right somewhere. No more angle milling of the manifold!
B) Raising the ports In the past, if someone wanted to raise the ports in their manifold, say .200”, they had
to add material to the outside of the manifold, then grind the roof higher, then fill the floor. When they
were finally done, they had a compromise in the performance, as they had sharpened the curvature of the

short side of the runner.
The Kinsler Solution: Kinsler manifolds are machined to bolt directly onto the cylinder heads, with
precisely aligned ports. A Kinsler manifold can be machined to standard port profiles, variations of them,
or to your special port layout.
If you have a super high port, or a very large or small port, Kinsler can custom machine one of our
manifold blanks to bolt right onto your heads. © 2020

Let’s say you own a Kinsler Three-piece manifold for a small block Chevrolet, but you want to use it on a
special head with ports that are moved up .300” higher than your old heads. Simply elongate or reposition the
bolt holes and slide the manifold up the head .300”. This keeps the runner design in the manifold untouched
for peak performance, and saves you a ton of time and work!
A manifold can be positioned just right, over the cylinder head ports,
then a hole can be drilled in the head and manifold for a dowel pin.
To take care of the gap between the raised manifold and the valley
plate, simply make an aluminum strip with a seal groove and bolt it
to the lower edge of the manifold...or we can machine the strips. Up
to a 3/8” gap can simply be filled with silicone.
C) Correct for core shift in your heads Since it is easy to
move each manifold up or down, forward or rearward,
perfect alignment can be obtained with cylinder heads
that don’t have the ports properly located. (This is a
common problem, especially with production heads).
D) Sealing it up Both the manifold and the valley plate
have grooves for sealing them to each other. The valley
plate has sealing grooves on the bottom side at the front
and rear for sealing it to the top of the engine block. Mating seal grooves
Simply squeeze silicone sealer into all the grooves and
assemble. The valley plate also has a #10 bolt hole at the
front and rear, for bolting it to the top of the engine block.

2) Runner Design  We constantly work with top engine developers


to keep refining our runner designs. We change them whenever
we find one that will work better. We can also make one to your
specifications and make it work for you.
3) Precision Ports  Even in the racing industry, most
manifolds come with as-cast ports, and they are often
not in the proper location. Every manifold we make has
the ports machine-cut exactly to its print. To ensure
precise location of the bolt holes to the ports, they are
both cut while the manifold is in the same fixture.
4) Port Wall Angles  We pay a lot of attention to the angle
of the roof, floor, and the two walls as they meet the
gasket face. If the wall angles in the manifold do not Cross section of a
Small block Chevy
match those in the cylinder head, the air will not flow as
CNC’ed Runner
well as it could.
5) CNC’ed Ports  Runners are 100% CNC ported on our
most common manifolds. Most top engine developers have
found that further porting work does not give them a power

increase.
6)   Separate Ramtube Adapters hold the ramtubes to the manifold.
The ramtubes are secured by pinch clamps for easy removal to
service air filters, etc.
If you break a Pinch Clamp, you can simply install a new adapter.

Tuning: All the adapters on the same model manifold have the same bolt pattern, so if you want to
try different diameter ramtubes, simply bolt on another set of adapters and tubes. It is another way to
tailor the shape of the engine’s power curve.
Sealing: The ramtubes are sealed to the adapter with an o-ring seated into the inside diameter of the
adapter. The adapters are sealed to the manifold with o-rings that seat into the top of the manifold. These
o-rings keep out dirt and water
to prolong engine life, and there are no
gaskets to blow out.
7) Ramtubes Our ramtubes are made from high
quality aluminum to resist denting while
maintaining their light weight. While this is
more costly, they are truly a superior piece.
If our 1800 ramtubes are shortened, they will
slip into our adapters without having to turn
the outside diameter, as they are made with Traditional bell 180° Ramtube adapters
the proper diameter all the way up the tube.
If our traditional ramtubes are shortened, they must have the
base remachined to fit the adapters, Part #7898, see Ramtubes
Page #57-58.
8) Universal Nozzle Boss  Most Kinsler manifolds are available
with bosses that are tapped 13/16-16. These accept our
adapter inserts to accommodate any type of nozzle/injector,
(i.e. constant flow, EFI, Lucas, etc). To change from one type
of nozzle or injector to another, simply remove the old inserts
and install a new set. We also have dual bosses available on
most of our units, and bolt-on bosses to go on the runners of 1/2-20 thread brass inserts for
any other brand or type of manifold. constant flow nozzles

9) Magnesium alloy manifolds and top adapters are available for most manifold models to reduce over 1/3 of
the casting weight.
Caution: Magnesium is badly corroded by water or liquid alcohol. Monitor the magnesium where it contacts the
engine coolant. Alcohol must not sit in a runner for more than a few hours.

10) Throttle Shafts Our standard throttle shafts are a milled-on-one-side
style made from a high strength steel alloy, then hard-nickel plated
for added wear resistance. We offer stainless steel as an option for
maximum corrosion resistance, for boats operating in salt water, etc.
Optional back-cut shafts, and streamline butterflies are available for
increased air flow, see Pages #55-56.
11) Bronze Bushings All of our manifolds and throttle bodies come
standard with bronze throttle shaft bushings for extra smooth throttle
operation and resistance to wear.
12) Throttle Arms & Stops These are heavy-duty to prevent slippage!
Machined from 2024 high-strength aluminum and anodized blue.
Grade 8 high-strength cap screws are used for clamping.
13) Torsion Safety Springs  are available to help close the throttles in case
your throttle linkage becomes disconnected.
Throttle arm, stop, and spring

For safety these should never be used as the only throttle return spring(s). You must use a
separate spring(s) to return the throttles.
For safety there must also be a toe strap on the throttle pedal so the throttle can be pulled shut
using your foot in case the return springs break.
14) Rod Ends  A small part, but so very important. We use high quality rod ends to give you the reliability
and resistance to wear that you need in your race vehicle. The rod end has a plated body, chromate
treated steel race and a heat treated alloy steel hard-chrome plated ball.

15) Billet Spring-Screw Universal Throttle Shaft Linkage


The throttle shafts can be split in between the
runners of the manifold and our patented Spring
Screw linkage installed to ensure bind-free
operation regardless of uneven installation bolting,
(which will distort any manifold) or engine heating,
(any brand of aluminum or magnesium manifold will
grow quicker as it heats than the steel throttle shaft
does). This goes a long way to get rid of the old
stuck-throttle-into-the-wall blues! Optional on most
of our manifolds and we have kits that will allow
installation of this linkage on any brand of manifold.
16) Fuel Metering  Our manifolds are available for Constant
Flow, Electronic (EFI), or Lucas Mechanical.
17) Special Customizing  For an additional charge we will do just about anything you want...
special paint, anodized colors, polishing, machining, etc.
Summary:
No one else offers a system that even approaches the quality that we have described, and no one else
gives you as much value per dollar. Top engine builders and racers tell us that these systems not only
outperform anything else presently on the market, but that our calibrations let them dial the engine in so
quickly that the time, wear and tear they save makes our system truly inexpensive compared to other
brands they have used. They tell us that our manifolds not only work better, but that the precisely
located, cut, and blended ports alone saves them more than the difference in cost between our manifold
and those of our competitors. © 2019

FUEL METERING
We not only make our own complete line of metering equipment, but keep many other brands in stock. We
carry all three basic types: Constant Flow, EFI, and Lucas Mechanical. We can set up any brand of manifold
to work with any type or brand of metering. We are glad to supply any seperate components you need, or
take your pieces and fit them into a complete system. We service fuel systems for engines with any number of
cylinders or rotors, from lawn mower engines to blown alcohol.

Flow Test and Calibration Service for Constant Flow, EFI, and Lucas:
We offer flow testing to qualify each component, then a detailed calibration of the overall system tailored to the
particular engine combination, fuel, and use. Having calibrated thousands of systems, we have the experience
necessary to get the fuel curve very close just as the unit is bolted on. We also offer this service and reconditioning
for other brands, new or used.

1) Constant Flow Metering Used for many applications as it is


very versatile, relatively inexpensive and the most rugged and
reliable. We can supply components and systems to meter any
type of fuel for any application. We can take a basic system of
any brand and add extra components and metering circuits to it
to make it perform better for a particular use.
A) Nozzles:  We make nozzles for gasoline, alcohol, and
nitromethane for use on normally aspirated (unblown),
supercharged, and turbocharged engines. All of Kinsler
nozzles are flow tested at four pressures, matched, then
stamped with a flow code, see Pages #78-81.
B) Precision Distribution Barrel Valves:  The Kinsler line of
barrel valves have been developed with spools that are
computer contoured to give proper metering for part
throttle operation. Other brands have no more than a simple
ramp. We also make custom cut and flow tested spools to
solve tough part throttle problems for your new or used
units, see Pages #97-98.
Most barrel valves are made by simply drilling the fuel inlet hole
down from the top until it intersects the nozzle hose outlet holes Barrel valve mounted to a bracket
that are drilled in from the side. These intersections are not only attached to the manifold, this keeps the
quite jagged, but the velocity of the fuel is too high to make the barrel valve off the hot valley plate
sharp turn out to the nozzle hoses.
All of this creates great turbulence,
which gives very poor fuel
distribution. Kinsler barrel valves
are made with a large cavity in
the bottom, so the fuel can slow
down and make the turn. We also
do a careful job of deburring the
inside of the cavity, as well as
making the inlet to the nozzle
hose fitting nicely radiused.
This all results in excellent fuel
distribution. Xtra-Light barrel valve, hard

2) Electronic Metering
  We sell various brands and types of electronic metering equipment to suit every application from street
rods to Indy cars. We can adapt any brand and type of electronic system to any manifold.
A) Fuel Rails  We have the best selection in the industry: 8AN fitting size (.685” ID) and 12AN fitting size
(.970” ID) for very high output engines; Pg 141. Mounting hardware and fuel rail fittings; Pg 141, 143.
Stainless rails in 8AN fitting size (.655” ID), with custom up to 1.5” OD; corrosion proof with methanol,
Pg 143. Hard anodized aluminum custom modular fuel rails, as we did for the GM Indy 500/IRL engines
from 1996-2003; Pg 142. We make our rails smooth on the outside… the finned ones may look “racier”,
but they absorb more heat from the hot air around the engine and carry it back to the tank in the bypass
fuel, which is bad.

C) Vacuum Ports We can drill and tap the runners and supply plumbing and a junction block for vacuum
modulated metering, vacuum accessories, or a remote idle air control (IAC) motor housing. We have the
remote housings and idle air motors, see Page #145.
3) Lucas Mechanical Metering was developed and
manufactured by the Lucas Aerospace Division in England.
It was quite popular from 1955 to 1980 on Grand Prix, Can-
Am, and other top performing sport racing cars, as well as
almost all of the World Champion Offshore Powerboats. It
was the ultimate because it is timed, has precise distribution,
and meters the fuel even at cranking, thus preventing the
engine from getting washed down. Electronic metering has

taken over for the premium applications, but Lucas is still
used on vintage road race cars. We continue to provide
complete rebuilding service, and have a good supply of used
and new-old-stock metering units and parts.

This was widely used from 1967 till 1986, when we introduced our
first three piece manifold. Still available for the person who needs
the “vintage” look. Constant Flow or Lucas available.
STANDARD FEATURES
• 2 1/4” (2.250”) and 2 7/16” (2.437”) throttle sizes.
• Aluminum base plate; seals hot engine oil from backside
of runners (cooler incoming air charge gives more horsepower).
• Bronze throttle shaft bushings and our
spring-screw universal throttle shaft linkage.
• Standard Chevrolet type water crossover with thermostat
housing; gives maximum water flow for excellent cooling.
• Extra rib of material around the throttle bore area helps prevent For Dirt Track, with constant flow. Straight up

These are available,
also the runners, etc.
Excellent for road and oval track racing... you now need larger
throttles for drag racing. Some brands of manifolds don’t have a
good flowing runner, so they use a very large throttle to get good
top end power, but then the runner is so big that it has little low
end torque, thus poor performance out of the turns. The runner in
this manifold flows efficiently, allowing a medium size throttle to
give excellent top end power while maintaining superior low end
torque. For Can-Am, with optional steel ramtubes. High
placed nozzles for best top end power. Horizontal

TURBOCHARGING
Turbocharging has tremendous potential, but very few have tapped it, as a proper installation is far more
involved than that for a GMC roots type belt driven supercharger. The following hints will help....
1) Electronic fuel injection is the ultimate for turbos. The constant flow system cannot compensate throughout the whole range for
the boost pressure against the nozzle resisting fuel flow. The EFI system can be programmed to the peaks and valleys
of the engine’s torque and horsepower, giving the potential to extract the most power and best driveability. An EFI
system with programmable ignition curves will provide
further improvements as ignition timing is EXTREMELY
important to a turbo engine. You want to run all the
spark lead you can to burn the fuel before the exhaust valve
opens, to reduce the exhaust temperature at the turbos, to
keep from burning them up.
2) One of the worst misconceptions is that ram tuning is not
important when using a turbo. On the contrary, it is
extremely important for power, and the exhaust tuning
sharply increases throttle response as well.
3) Use ported cylinder heads...allow the engine to breathe!!!
You must get the air in and out for power.
4) “Turbo Lag” is actually mostly fuel lag. If the fuel is put into the Twin turbo 4.6L 3-valve modular
air before it enters the turbo, the fuel cools the incoming air, which Ford Mustang with EFI
will cause it to pick up more heat from the hot turbo. Also, the turbo
has to compress more mass. All of this decreases system efficiency.
In addition, the fuel has a long way to get to the engine, causing lag.
Not to mention one pop back into that whole inlet system full of
fuel, and KABLOOM! Injection right at the inlet port sharply
increases throttle response, efficiency, distribution, safety, and power!!!
5) When running over about 8 PSI of boost with gasoline, a good air-to-
air intercooler is a must. Lowering the charge temperature will:
• Increase density, giving 15-20% more power
•  Give less tendency to detonate
    •  Lower exhaust temperature, since lowering inlet temperature
a given amount lowers exhaust about the same amount.
Theoretically, high exhaust temperature is desireable, but in reality,
there is almost always too much...it burns up the turbos and pipes.
6) On large engines, two intercooler cores are used in series. This gives
slightly more pressure drop than if in parallel, but lower charge
temperature and better performance, due to higher velocity of the
charge air scrubbing the walls of the intercooler.
7)  In front engine cars, the intercooler is placed where the radiator
would normally be, to get a good blast of the coldest air and short
ducting. The radiator is placed to the side, behind, or in the fenders.
Scat V4 with constant flow fuel injection
8)  An exhaust system with divided turbine and exhaust collector will with single turbo in a dune buggy
increase throttle response with the same top end horsepower. Great
for sports cars.
9)  The best system compresses air only, intercools it, then adds fuel
at the ports. Look at the pictures carefully!

Fits one piece big block Chevrolet manifold
(modification required).
Available with a throttle at the inlet or plain.
Two throttle sizes available:
2.5” throttle has 2.5” ID runner outlets.
2.9” throttle has 2.9” or 3.0” ID runner outlets.
Center to center of runner bores: 3.300”, 6.350”, 3.300”
Each runner entrance has a generous radius cast into it.
Logs have provision for balance tube between the pair.
‘As cast’ logs have a throttle body on each end at different
lengths, so the throttle shafts of both throttles will line up with
each other. For most applications only two throttle bodies are
needed so the opposite end of the log is machined off, and an
end cap is installed. Logs can be machined so there is a throttle

3-PIECE MANIFOLD INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1) Make sure all intake gasket surfaces are clean and flat
(especially around bolt holes and any water ports).
If the manifold has been used, inspect the condition
of the entire assembly, including all linkage. Be sure
to remove all the old silicone, and clean out the
sealing grooves.
2) Check the fit of all the manifold pieces on the engine
to be sure everything fits correctly before applying any new
silicone.
3) The valley plate has holes at both ends along the
block’s register. Most racers find it much easier to
install the plate if they drill and tap the block at each
end to secure it. The holes in the valley plate may not Check surfaces for flatness
be symmetrically located.... position the valley plate
carefully, then use it as a drilling template.
INSTALLATION
These instructions are for the typical Kinsler three piece injection manifold.

Try to do the installation within twenty minutes. The surface


of the silicone bead can set up quickly, causing a poor seal.

A) It is very important to get silicone down into the bottom corners of both
the manifold and  valley plate grooves, just flush to the surface... push
it in with your finger.
B) Put a bead of silicone along the surfaces on top of the grooves and mate
the manifold to the valley plate. If the correct
amount of silicone is used, about 1/16” - 1/8” will come out the top and
bottom sides.
C) Install all the bolts and run them down just snug. Start torque sequence
from the center bolts and work outward. Tighten the mounting bolts
down a little bit at a time to obtain an even crush. Do not overtighten! Push silicone into grooves

THROTTLE SHAFTS
WE MAKE THE STRONGEST THROTTLE
SHAFTS IN THE INDUSTRY
We make out throttle shafts from special stress-proof steel, which makes them
unusually strong and tough. We hard nickel coat them for excellent wear
resistance, then bake them to eliminate any embrittlement.
We can make custom shafts to your print or sample.
THROTTLE SHAFT BASICS MATERIAL FOR THROTTLE SHAFTS
Alternate Material 303 stainless steel for salt water marine use. These won’t rust, DIAMETER MATERIAL
but they are only 1/4 as strong as the stress proof steel, and wear much quicker. 4760 5/16" (.312") Stress proof steel
Don’t use this material unless you really feel you need to.
4761 3/8" (.375") Stress proof steel
STYLE 5452 5/16" (.312") 303 stainless steel
Milled A flat is machined halfway through the shaft for the throttle plate. 5453 3/8" (.375") 303 stainless steel
Slit A slit is cut through the middle of the shaft, leaving the shaft at it’s
full diameter. Shown Actual Size
We use 3/8” diameter milled type shafts because they make a better
bearing than a 5/16” does and we get more strength than 5/16” with
less air flow resistance! How?
A) 5/16” has so little cross-sectional area that it is usually slotted Milled shaft
for anything larger than 2” throttle bores. The place where the
the throttle plate screw goes is very weak, as the #8 screw
hole removes most of the remaining material!
B) A milled 3/8” shaft has 24% more cross-section after the #8
screw hole is tapped into it than a 5/16” slotted shaft. Slit shaft
C) The 5/16” shaft presents a .312” wide restriction to the airflow.
The milled 3/8” shaft is .188” wide after milling, plus .071”
width of the throttle plate = .259” total, which is 17% less width Back-cut shaft
than the 5/16” slotted shaft.
D) BACK-CUT The milled 3/8” shaft is strong enough that we
can mill a flat on the backside of it .062” deep and still maintain
good strength. This leaves .126” shaft width, plus the .071”
plate width = .197” total, which is 37% less width than the Streamlined shaft
5/16” slotted shaft! This is optional on all our units and
replacement shafts.
E) STREAMLINED The ultimate shaft for air flow is the
back-cut shaft with it’s leading and trailing edges machined
with a radius from the OD of the shaft to the flat area of the
back-cut. It is then blended and polished. This gives an © 2019
improved aerodynamic shape. This is optional on all our
units and replacement shafts.
MACHINING Each end of our flat for the throttle plate has a .010” radius to prevent a stress riser. We also break the edge of the two
outside corners at each end of the flat. On our shafts with multiple throttle plates we are careful to machine all the flats exactly at the same
angle and plane. If the flats are not cut properly, the idle air distribution and part throttle operation will be poor.

THROTTLE SYNCHRONIZATION AT IDLE
DO THIS ONLY IF YOU CAN’T SYNCHRONIZE THE
THROTTLES USING THE UNI-SYN. See Pages #58-59
“HOW TO SETUP LINKAGE”
If the throttle plates are not synchronized at an idle, then some cylinders
will be rich or lean compared to others... these will NOT develop maximum
power as quickly as the other cylinders when the engine is brought to wide
open throttle. Sometimes at W.O.T. the problem clears up quickly, sometimes
NOT. A rich cylinder may take a fraction of a second to several seconds
to burn off the excess fuel and raise combustion chamber temperature. A
cylinder running lean at an idle is a prime candidate for serious engine
damage. When the engine is brought to wide open throttle, the overheated
spark plug may cause detonation.

SOLVING SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEMS


Make sure the throttle plates are not installed upside down. They are
machined at an angle! (see THROTTLE PLATES on Page #52). Check the
intake manifold for gasket leaks; worn shaft bushings, shafts, plates, etc.

If no problems are found:


1) Disconnect the cross hex link bar and work on each side
of the injection unit separately.
2) Back off the throttle stop idle screws all the way, so the
throttle plates will contact the throttle bores. Loctite ® #271 must be applied to
3) Loosen or remove all the throttle plate screws. BE secure the throttle plate screws
VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THEM INTO THE
ENGINE! Any New Kinsler manifold or manifolds
serviced by Kinsler have Loctited ® plate screws.
The screws may require heat to break the bond.
4) While holding the throttle shaft in closed position, tap the
shaft back and forth lightly to allow plates to center
themselves in the throttle bore and rotate plate in the
throttle bore till gaps are equal on both sides of the plate
at the location shown in Fig 1.
5) Install throttle plates and tighten screws using Loctite ® #271.

6) Do the same to the other side of the manifold.
7) Reconnect cross hex link bar. Adjust it so both sides
maintain the closed position.
8) Turn idle screws “in” to raise plates just off the throttle
bore. Depending on the engine displacement, throttle
size, and idle speed you want, the throttle plates will need
to be open about .002” to .008”. A small block Chev
will require about .003” - .004” Fig. 1
9) Check that both sides of the injection open at the
same rate. See How To Set Up Linkage on Pages #58-59.
UNDERSTANDING THE IDLE
Idle Speed is a balance of throttle plate opening and fuel rate. The
unit should idle near the desired RPM with the proper amount of
fuel. Never richen up the fuel rate to reduce the idle RPM; back
out the idle screw instead.
Mechanical fuel injection systems require a rich idle mixture for
optimum throttle response since they do not have an accelerator
pump. Any time the idle speed is adjusted, the fuel rate at idle may
need to be readjusted for best throttle response... set it so you get
the best response when you snap the throttles open with the vehicle
out of gear. Engines equipped with an automatic transmission
require richer mixtures “out of gear” to compensate for the load of
the transmission when “in gear”.

UNI-SYN® THROTTLE
SYNCHRONIZER
TAKE THE GUESS WORK OUT OF SYNCHRONIZING
YOUR THROTTLES OR CARBS AT AN IDLE !
WHY YOU NEED A UNI-SYN
The Uni-Syn ® displays the relative air flow of one cylinder vs.
another at an idle. If the throttle plates are not synchronized at an
idle, they will not be synchronized at part throttle. This won’t be as
important to a drag racer who launches his vehicle from wide open
throttle as it is for oval track, road, or off-road racing where this can
mean the difference of who gets out of the corner first.

HOW THE UNIT WORKS


The Uni-Syn ® has a swiveling sight tube, so the unit can be used at
any angle. The sight tube must be vertical. Air flowing between the
flow control wheel and the housing creates a depression (vacuum),
which pulls the float up the tapered sight tube. Rotating the wheel #6002
clockwise lowers it in the housing’s tapered bore. This increases the
vacuum signal, which raises the float in the sight tube.

Reasonable synchronization is if all the flow


checks are within 3/4”, the distance between
any two lines on the sight tube.

WITHOUT
Kinsler Spring-
Screw Linkage:
With the engine idling, place the Uni-Syn over the top of one ramtube on the left
side of the engine, while keeping the sight tube vertical. Adjust the flow control
wheel in the center of Uni-Syn until the float is halfway up the sight tube. Check
the rest of the cylinders on the left side of the engine to get an average reading.
Now check the cylinders on the right side and adjust the cross hex link until the
average readings are the same on both sides. If you are unable to achieve similar
average readings, see section on MANIFOLD INSTALLATION AND SETUP on
Page #50.
On Manifolds WITH Kinsler Spring-Screw Linkage:
Synchronize the front and rear throttles on the left side of the engine using screw
“L”. Now synchronize the front and rear throttles on the right by using screw “R”.
Now synchronize the left side to the right side by adjusting the cross hex link.

HOW TO SET UP LINKAGE
THROTTLE SHAFT TRAVEL
Since most throttle plates have a 14o seat angle, they only have to rotate
76o to be 90o to the throttle bore, which is wide open throttle.
THE SAFEST LINKAGE
The safest linkage is one in which the driven arm makes a 90o angle to the
hex link at half travel, so the total travel is split evenly to both sides of
the 90o point... 38o to each side. This keeps well away from having the
driven arm go to an over-center position... see “CAUTION” on “Uneven
Four Bar Linkage”, Page #59.
FOUR BAR LINKAGE
Four Bar Linkage is called “Four Bar”, because it consists of four bars.
Looking at Fig 1 : One bar is “Arm A”, the second is “Arm B”, the third
is the “Hex Link”. The fourth is whatever holds the two shafts in place; a
manifold casting, a bracket, etc. All the bars may be different lengths.

PARALLEL FOUR BAR LINKAGE


Parallel four bar linkage is when the hex link is made the same
center-to-center (c-c) distance as the two shafts, and the c-c of “Arm
A” is equal to “Arm B”. As the arms rotate they will remain parallel to
each other, and the Hex Link will remain parallel to the Base Line. The
significance is that “Shaft A” will move the same number of degrees as
“Shaft B” at every point, which is needed when linking the shafts on the
left and right side of the manifold, see Fig 1.
PART THROTTLE AIR FLOW
When using Parallel Linkage, the throttle shafts both rotate in the same
direction, so the lower edges of all the throttle plates slope to the right
or to the left. At part throttle this will direct the air differently to the
ports on the right side of the engine versus the left. Some racers claim
this gives rough part throttle operation. At wide open throttle the throttle Throttle plates that rotate the same direction,
plates are all straight open, so it won’t affect full power. use parallel linkage

OVER-UNDER LINKAGE
Very difficult to set up properly. Over-Under linkage counter-rotates
the throttle shafts allowing the throttle plates to be installed with the
lower edge of each throttle plate out toward the valve cover. This will
direct the air the same to every port as the throttles are opened. While
the geometry can be set satisfactory, it is never exact (see table in Fig
2), and if the arms are loosened, it is difficult to get them back as they
were... their initial angles are critical. Every shaft c-c distance and arm
length combination requires different initial arm angles.

JACKSHAFT LINKAGE... BECOMING MUCH MORE POPULAR Throttle plates that are opposite rotation,
This is much more desireable than the over-under linkage, as it is often use over-under linkage
much easier to set up and gives each shaft the exact same rotation.
See Page #59, 65.
CENTER BELLCRANK LINKAGE
This also gives even shaft rotation, but there is not often enough room
to fit it in. See Page #64.
DRAWING LINKAGE
Measure the c-c of the two shafts to be connected. Though one shaft
may be higher than the other, for convenience draw the shafts as
horizontal. Draw a dashed Base Line and put the shaft centers on
it. Draw an arc with the c-c of Arm-A. Draw another with the
c-c of Arm-B. Draw lines from the center of the shafts to represent
the initial trial position of the arms. The distance between these two
points on the arcs is the length of the Hex-Link. Set the compass at
this distance. Mark off 10o increments along arc-A. Set the point of
the compass on each of these and make a mark on arc-B for each.
Example: see the 40o and 40.5o marks in Fig 2. Measuring the
angles of the marks on arc-B allows a table to be made of the relative
movements. If the numbers are not satisfactory, try other arm settings
and/or Hex Link length. o

HOW TO SET UP LINKAGE
UNEVEN FOUR BAR LINKAGE
This linkage setup helps make a manifold
or blower hat with very large throttles much
more driveable for road racing or the street.
Using the linkage in Fig 3, the first 30o of
pedal travel only moves the plates 15o. The
geometry reverses as it approaches wide open
throttle, so at 80o of pedal travel the plates
have rotated the required 76o.
Caution - The throttle spring must be on the
driver shaft. Shaft-A can’t be the driven
arm as it comes too close to over-center, the
condition where the centerline of the hex link
goes past the centerline of the driven arm...
then the linkage can’t be pulled back.

SHAFT ROTATION RATIO


The shaft rotation ratio at any instant is determined by the ratio of the lengths of the perpendiculars to the Hex Link that pass through each
shaft center. Example: In Fig 3, PB (1.10”) divided by PA (.250”) indicates 4.4o rotation of Shaft A to 1o for Shaft B in this position.

are not made to take all the force that
can be exerted with the driver’s foot

made, set at approximately 1/16” under

The Spring-Screw link with it’s unique patented design acts as a combination
slip and universal joint. It also has a screw for torsionally phasing
the shafts and a spring to keep any looseness out of the joint.
The bolt-on design allows ease of installation on an existing unit without having to
disassemble the manifold. The adjusting screw allows synchronization of the front
cylinders to the rear ones for smoother engine idling. 2024 aluminum, anodized

screw facing outwards for ease of adjustment, yet have the torque from the “driving” #4897
shaft pushing directly against the screw rather than the spring in the adjuster assem-
bly.... this way the action is always positive. If pushed against the spring, a heavy load
could compress it.

KINSLER SPRING-SCREW UNIVERSAL
THROTTLE SHAFT LINKS How these links can help YOU !
- CONTINUED - A manifold having a one piece throttle shaft
going all the way through it can experience
throttle sticking because :
1) Though a manifold may look quite rigid, it
flexes when bolted down.
2) The throttle shaft is steel and the manifold is
magnesium or aluminum. As the manifold
heats or cools, it grows longer or shorter than
the shaft, so the edges of the throttle plates are
pushed into the sides of the throttle bores.
This causes drag and greatly increases wear
into the sides of the throttle bores.
3) Due to production tolerances, we find that in
most brands of manifolds the throttle shaft
bore in the front runners rarely lines up
exactly with the one in the rear runners.... this
puts the throttle shaft in a bind.
4) If the throttle shaft has a slight twist in it, the
front throttle plates are open slightly more
than the rear ones. Without the Spring-Screw
link there is no way to correct it.
GAP BETWEEN
SHAFTS .050 TO .100 Our combination slip and universal spring-screw
links fix all of these problems.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF FUEL INJECTION
CARBS TO CONSTANT FLOW, TO LUCAS MECHANICAL, AND FINALLY ELECTRONIC
CARBS TO CONSTANT FLOW
Back in the fifties it was either carbs or constant flow fuel injection. The basic cost for an out of the box carb was quite cheap compared to
injection. However, to get the mixture distribution right with the carb took a pretty smart person a lot of time, as both the air distribution
and the fuel distribution were tough to get right, and they changed with engine RPM and load. A really good running set of carbs would
wind up costing a lot more than the injection, and even then carbs did poorly with combinations of both straightaway acceleration and
cornering as the floats and bowls hadn’t been developed far enough. Even today’s carbs don’t handle boating through rough waters well,
as it’s impossible to meter the fuel if it’s bouncing off the top of the float bowl. Don’t get us wrong - we’re not knocking carbs, as tens of
millions of them have done an admirable job for many years when used on the application they were designed for.

If you bought a good set of individual runner injection, the air distribu-
tion was just about perfect right out of the box, since all of the runners
were cast the same and had a radiused bell at each entrance. If your
unit had a properly matched set of nozzles the fuel distribution had to be
good, since there was one nozzle in each runner. Other advantages of
the injection was that you could change the fuel mixture quickly by just
changing one jet (even
from the dashboard while driving), and you could run alcohol and nitro.
There were no carbs at the time that did a good job with these fuels.

Most of the early injection was of the constant flow design,


which to this day is the most rugged and dependable system. The
basic fuel metering is done by sensing throttle angle and engine Walt Kolodziej’s ‘Blue Meanie’ small
speed. The throttle rotates a spool with a tapered ramp inside a block Chev with Kinsler injection
metering block; it has a samll opening to the nozzles at an idle,
which gets larger as the throttles are opened. Engine speed is sensed by using a positive displacement pump driven by the engine, so when
the engine speed doubles, the output of the pump doubles. This system has always worked well for drag racing, where the fuel can easily
be kept cool. In round track or road racing, the fuel gets hotter the longer you run, both from the track heat and the warm fuel returning
to the tank. Because the light ends in gasoline boil at about room temperature, or even lower if you have any vacuum at the inlet of the
pump caused by a restriction in the inlet line from the tank, the fuel pump doesn’t draw in all the fuel it should, which causes a lean condi-
tion. The car will run just fine early in the race, but after a while it gets “lazy”.... the power and reaponse fall off and you may even burn a
piston. The solution is to pressurize the pump inlet line so the fuel can’t boil. Our vapor separator tank is the heart of an excellent off-the-
shelf system that can take care of this. A nice feature of the constant flow system is that you can tailor bumps and dips into the fuel curve
using special metering pieces that we have available. While alcohol doesn’t boil as easily as gasoline, it still requires a carefully plumbed
inlet line to the pump to prevent lean-out.
LUCAS MECHANICAL
In the early sixties both Lucas and Bosch mechanical timed injection became
popular because of several nice features because they use the stroke of a piston
to precisely meter the fuel. The fact that they are timed allows you to inject
the fuel at just the right instant to avoid letting any go through during valve
overlap, thus giving better potential fuel economy. These systems also meter
the fuel well during engine starting and idle which prevents washing off the
upper cylinder lube. The nozzles are of a valve-and-seat design, so there is no
dripping of the fuel into the engine on shutdown, even without a fuel shut-off
valve. The throttle response is very crisp, as you get the new fuel rate within
two revolutions of the engine after moving the throttle pedal. Finally, the out-
put of the pump is not a basic part of the metering system, so if the pump were
to cavitate say 10%, it would have no effect on the mixture at all. All of these
features make this system very popular for road race cars.

A drawback of both the Lucas and Bosch is that to get more than a simple
straight line fuel curve you have to make a complex three dimensional fuel
cam. Even today, an engine with a Lucas or Bosch mechanical system with
the simple straight line fuel curve runs quite well, because the internal com-
bustion engine is so beautifully forgiving... it puts out almost full power from
about three percent lean to about six percent rich. 1963 Maserati Mistral Lucas me-
chanical fuel metering system
ON TO ELECTRONIC
In the late sixties various auto companies started serious electronic fuel injection (EFI) programs for better economy, driveability, and
emissions. What needed to be done was obvious, but the progress was slow because of the difficulty of developing good low cost injectors
and electronic bits. The exciting thing about using electronics is that you can look at as many inputs as you want to for very little money.
Why? With any mechanical device, either carbs or injection, it is quite cumbersome and expensive to sum more than a few inputs. With
electronics it is easy and cheap to sum as many as you want. So while only throttle angle or intake vacuum combined with engine speed
had been used in most mechanical systems, now you could sense air, water, oil, and fuel temperature, barometer, rate of throttle opening,
etc. With computing ability, it became easy to have complex maps of fuel mixture vs. RPM for various throttle angles, acceleration
enrichment, controlled enrichment from cold starting to hot running, etc. Bosch was the clear leader in the early EFI work, introducing the
system on the 1967 Volkswagen. © 2019

A BRIEF HISTORY OF FUEL INJECTION
In the early seventies, EFI became more popular on passenger cars. It was very expensive compared to carbs, as the carbs had been
developed for many years to do a reasonable job while being mass produced using die castings. Just a couple of the EFI injectors cost
as much as a carburetor. A V8 has as many as eight injectors, a complicated fuel rail, various sensors, and a complex wiring harness
and electronic control unit (ECU). So why did they go to the EFI? It was a combination of political pressure due to fleet economy and
emission requirements, image, startability, driveability, and the hopes that volume use and further research would lower the cost, which it
certainly has.
In the early eighties the first race ECU’s appeared in the speed
industry. They were quite basic, expensive, and tedious to program.
Various sports cars tinkered with the EFI, and a Formula Vee series First Zytek ‘white’
ran exclusively with it. A lot of this equipment was initially sup- ECU; 1984.
plied by Bosch, with advancements being made by other companies
that produced racing-only boxes. Used an EPROM
Because of its ability to handle a very complex engine fuel map chip that had to be
with ease, EFI was literally snatched up by the F-1 cars in the mid- ‘burned’ outside of
eighties for their turbo motors. While the output of these engines
at about 750 horsepower from 92 cubic inches on gasoline looked the ECU with hexi-
impressive to most of the world in 1983, the developers knew that decimal code, then
they were making tremendous compromises to stay safe with the installed in the
limitations of their mechanical systems. Within just a few years af-
ter introducing EFI, some F-1 engines were dynoing at nearly 1,250 unit. It did have
horsepower or 13.5 horsepower per cube!! They ran about 1,000 the luxury of hav-
horsepower on the track for qualifying and dropped back further for
the actual race. Any skepticism about the ability of EFI to run with ing trim knobs for
massive ignition interference, heat, or vibration was silenced. some field
adjusting.
By the end of the eighties there were more than a dozen companies
making aftermarket and racing electronic control systems; several
of them being quite reputable with good solid products. The popular use of the systems was on road race, Indy cars, offshore race boats
and high performance street machines, all these having rather complex fuel requirements. Today, drag racing is seeing limited use of EFI,
both because of rule restrictions, and the relatively simple fuel requirements (wide open throttle only) for most type of engines operating
on the drag strip... constant flow metering still works quite well there.
The control boxes now available for racing range from basic ones at $1,500-$3,000 with programming software, to extremely complex
systems that sense everything you can think of at $5,500-$15,000 with
programming aids and software that are very user friendly and will run
on laptop computers. Add to all this the cost of injectors at $40-100
each for common types, wiring harness at $300 for the street type to
$1,500 for a good race harness, to $4,000 for super quality F-1 type
harnesses. Fuel rails are $200 for the basic ones, $400 for high flow
aluminum, to $800 for custom built stainless steel. Add a manifold,
fuel pump, filter, pressure relief valve, etc. and you go from a com-
plete system for high performance street use at about $4,500, serious
on-track system at $7,000 to the most sophisticated at $11,000 to
$21,000 including engineering time.

Electronics surround us everywhere we go, and they are in the


automotive world to stay. EFI applied to the correct applications in
racing can actually save money. A supercharged or turbocharged
drag race engine costs from twenty to fifty thousand dollars. It can be
destroyed in an instant if it isn’t fueled properly. Most of the present
mechanical fuel systems are a compromise on these engines. EFI
allows complete mapping of the engine, Indy 500 winner, Treadway Racing’s car driven by
suppling the correct amount of fuel at every possible condition. Arie Luyendyk using Kinsler manifold, filters, p.r. valve
Programmed meticulously, reliability will be gained using EFI.
Racing has been an innovative and progressive sport. Considering that Buick was 100% EFI in the mid-80s, it only makes sense
that there should be at least a couple of competition classes where the creative racer can dabble with the latest technology.
There are a lot of systems and components available now and the cost has come down to an affordable range. EFI has arrived to stay !
So where does all this put us? Electronic fuel injection is becoming more advanced and sophisticated, so selecting the features needed for
an application can be confusing. Kinsler Fuel Injection can help you work through the choices to find the right
components for your project.
We decided not to make our own electronic control because there are excellent ones available. We carry most brands of E.C.U.s and
components, and make complete systems for any application. We have technicians who are glad to advise you on what to use for your
application. They are happy to assist you no matter what mix of brands you plan on using, or what you may already have. Give us a call!

CONSTANT FLOW FUEL
INJECTION METERING
Constant flow systems are very flexible and
cost effective for many types of racing, engine
configurations, and fuels. They are capable of suppling
a very wide range of fuel requirements. The system
can be easily configured and tuning is accomplished by
increasing or decreasing the systems operating pressure.

A constant flow system uses a mechanical fuel pump


to increase/decrease the supply flow to the injection
unit directly related to engine RPM. This variable
flow creates pressure against the fixed orifices of the
main bypass jet and the nozzles. The idle and the part
throttle fuel rate is controlled by utilizing a barrel valve
assembly. Kinsler can supply additional bypasses and
enrichment circuits to provide added flexibility. Steve Kinser, 19-time,
World of Outlaw Sprint Car Champion

Basic components of a constant flow fuel injection system :


A) Air control - individual runner (I.R.) manifold or throttle body.
B) Barrel valve assembly - barrel valve houses the spool. The
spool controls fuel for idle and part throttle. There is a
selection of spools for different engines and fuels.
C) Nozzles - fixed orifice in the runner or plenum of intake
manifold. Sized for specific engine application and fuel being
used.
D) Nozzle hoses - connects barrel valve or distribution block to
nozzles.
E) Main bypass jet can - houses poppet and spring for basic idle
fuel pressure, holds main bypass jet.
F) Main bypass jet - this orifice works in conjunction with pump
and nozzles to set the overall fuel delivery of the system. It
can be quickly changed to adjust the base fuel rate.
G) Fuel pump (mechanical) - positive displacement pump.
H) Fuel pump drive - typically drives fuel pump at 1/2 engine
RPM. Can be mounted to camshaft or belt driven.
I) Fuel shut-off valve - stops fuel flow to barrel valve to allow the
engine to be shut-off.
J) Fuel filter - filters the fuel to protect nozzles, bypass valves,
and barrel valve.
Optional components :
K) Secondary bypass valve - allows tuning flexibility of part
throttle.
L) High speed bypass valve - allows tuning flexibility of higher
RPM fuel delivery.
M) Electric lean-out or enrichment valve - special function valve
to allow tuning of a specific area or range of the fuel delivery.
N) Kinsler Jet Selector Valve - holds eight main bypass jets.
Allows main jet to be adjusted while engine is running.
O) Kinsler Vapor Separator Tank (VST) system - typically used
when the main fuel tank is mounted too far away from the
mechanical pump and a transfer pump is required. This Kinsler
specially designed system helps to prevent fuel boiling and
pump inlet cavitation by maintaining pressure to the
mechanical pump inlet. Return fuel from the injection system
is routed back to this tank. See Pages #114-115 for details on
Vapor Separator Tank plumbing. © 2019

KINSLER K-TYPE JETS
PRECISE ; ACCURATE ; CONSISTENT
THAT IS WHY YOU NEED K-JETS
A perfect fuel injection system is of little use to the owner unless he has a good set of jets to use with it. When
using commercially made jets, it is not unusual when going .005” smaller in jet size (in an attempt to richen the
unit), to actually find no fuel rate change, or perhaps go grossly rich, or even to go a bit leaner! This can make it
impossible to “tune in” the engine for best power and consistency.

FEATURES OF THE K-TYPE JETS


EACH K-type jet is precisely machined and stamped with the “KINSLER” name to identify it. It has a reamed
orifice controlled within .0002”, a precise radius leading to the orifice, and a regulated finish.

Every K-type jet is tailored on the flow bench to within 1% of the flow rate of the master reference jet of its
same size. Therefore, even though the increments between the K-type jets are very small (.002” available), the
change in flow rate between each jet is controlled. Every jet of the same size flows the same, if one jet is lost, an
exact duplicate can be shipped immediately.

Drop in style jets give several advantages:


No damage to the jet on installation or removal like some screw-in commercial jets,
screwdriver nicks on the face of the inlet to any orifice can cause the flows to change.
The jet rests on an o-ring for a positive seal. No possible leakage which could
alter the flow, affecting the tuning of the engine.

TYPICAL INCREMENTS VERSUS APPLICATION


The following are guidelines: .002” gasoline and small alcohol engines
.004” for typical alcohol V8
.004” to .008” for blown applications
.006” to .010” for high speed and secondary restrictor jets.
IMPORTANT NOTES
A) When installing a K-type jet that is replacing a commerical jet, start with a K-type jet that is about
.008” smaller. This is due to the efficient design of the K-type jets.

B) Always install the jet so that the number is facing up as the jet is dropped in, then the fuel will flow into the
radiused side of the jet. After the jet can has been assembled, the number will be facing toward the poppet.

C) Make sure the jet can end has an o-ring receiving groove and that an o-ring is in place for the jet to
rest on. Note: the jet sealing o-ring should be replaced periodically to make sure that the compound
has not “dried” out.
D) Any marks on the radius of a K-type jet were put there on purpose during the flow tailoring
process.... leave them alone!

E) Never string the jets on a wire, as their entrance shapes will change as they move around on the wire!!!
For storage use the Kinsler plastic jet holder case #3720.
ORDERING K-JETS
Kinsler K-type jet pricing is broken down into material and labor.

KINSLER K-TYPE JETS
REASONS FOR FLOW ERRORS

1) Variations in the orifice size...


even the same drill doesn’t make
the same size orifice each time;
reaming is the only way to insure
exact orifice size.
2) Entrance conditions... these can
make a considerable difference in
flow, yet are often overlooked:
Even though both of the jets in the
picture have the same fuel pressure
to them, and the same orifice size, the flow through the jet on the right will be about 20% greater than that of the jet
on the left. This is due to the generously rounded entrance which makes it easier for the minute particles
(molecules) of fuel to get into the orifice. See “ORIFICE THEORY” on Pages #202-203.
3) Most commercial jets have a square edge, with a simple chamfer. A K-type jet has a large radius that is
precisely blended to the bore, giving better control of the entrance conditions and better
protection of the orifice.
4) All of the problems mentioned above are eliminated by using
the K-type jets, since each jet is precisely machined, then
hand tailored to the flow of a master reference jet.

THE PROBLEM WITH COMMERCIAL JETS


Flow to nozzles,
Commercial jets 1are not as precisely Jet size lb/hr gasoline
made as they should be, so there is often .110” 360
poor correlation of fuel mixture versus .115” 340
jet number. In fact, it is sometimes so .120” 350
bad that a jet change that should be richer .125” 320
#3073
is actually leaner, or vice versa (note jet .130” 320 #3060
.115” and .120” in the table to the right), .135” 310 1
The term “jets” is sometimes used to
or it may make no change at all (note refer to the nozzles. This is incorrect
.125” and .130”): and should be avoided.
If you have your engine running well, we can flow test
your commercial jet to tell you which K-jet to start with.
3073 Enderle jet, screw-in type (7/16-20 thread), unmatched,
state size: .020" to .200" at .005" increments

NOZZLES: CONSTANT FLOW
FUNCTION
1) The orifices in the nozzles meter the fuel to the engine in conjunction
with the main bypass return jet and the fuel pump.
2) Control the distribution of fuel to each cylinder of the engine.
3) Atomize and direct the fuel being injected.

FLOWED AND MATCHED


Customers spend lots of money having their cylinder heads air
flowed and ported to get even flow characteristics, but then use
nozzles that have fuel distribution as bad as 10-15%.
Commercial nozzles just aren’t made well enough. Very tiny
differences in the hole size and machining marks around the
inlet or outlet of the fuel orifice makes significant changes in
fuel flow.
Nozzles are affected by the same problems as the return jets.
Read “THE K-TYPE JETS” on Pages #72-73 and “ORIFICE THEORY” on Pages #199-200.

Kinsler nozzle sets are flowed and matched to within a 1% total spread in distribution. The orifices are radiused and
polished to promote even flow. Each nozzle is individually flow tested through a range of pressures and hand matched to a
master reference nozzle. Should a nozzle not work into the master flow curve, it is discarded or resized for use in a larger
set.
KINSLER STANDARD NOZZLE IDENTIFICATION
We stamp our flowed nozzles with - the name “KINSLER”; a size reference; a flow code, and a
deflector style-air orifice reference.
Example: S-710 AS-78 explanation :
The ‘S’ indicates a nominal .0338” orifice - orifice sizes may vary + .0004” due to machining tolerances,
so hand matching is still required.
The 710 is the flow code.
AS is the deflector style (see deflector types on next page).
78 refers to a .078” air orifice in the deflector, also referred to as the vacuum break restrictor.
An ‘X’ indicates a nozzle with .039” or larger fuel orifice. Example: X-39 930 AS-89
The ‘X’ followed by 39 means a .039” fuel orifice; 930 is the flow code; ‘AS’ is deflector style;
89 refers to a .089” air orifice in the deflector.
The flow code is the pounds per hour (lbs/hr) of fuel flow at 30 PSI for one nozzle.
Example: S-710 is really 71.0 lbs/hr at 30 PSI.
You can calculate the flow of a nozzle at any fuel pressure - see “ORIFICE THEORY” on Pages #199-200.

NOZZLES : CONSTANT FLOW
NOZZLE VENTING Vents allow air to pre-mix with fuel inside the nozzle for better atomization and eliminates engine
vacuum from drawing fuel into the engine.
Externally vented - for normally aspirated engines (unblown) or supercharged engines with nozzles at blower inlet.
Vented to the atmosphere; see AIR FILTRATION on Page #78.
Internally vented - for normally aspirated engines. Vents from inside the runner of the manifold.
Non-Vented and Z-type - for supercharged or turbocharged applications were the nozzle outlet is subject to manifold boost.
VENT LOCATION AND QUANTITY
One and three vent nozzles drip fuel into the engine on
shut-down, may make motor hard to restart due to excess fuel
in cylinders.
Four and six vent nozzles may drip fuel outside on shut-down,
but reduces cylinder wash down.

the fuel can flash vaporize, causing damage to the

FOR CONSTANT FLOW SYSTEM Ano-BRL Alum-BRL
We recommend filtering all the fuel coming out of the pump so that all the bypass valves and the barrel valve receive filtered fuel. Do
NOT use paper element filters on this type of system: bits of the paper element from the ‘clean’ side of the filter will clog the nozzles
and/or glue on the element may dissolve in methanol causing the element to separate. Do NOT use paint strainers or other cloth filters
to fill the tank, as lint from them may plug the nozzles. Use our #5610 filter funnel (see Page #179) or a similar metal element strainer.

MAIN BYPASS VALVE
The main jet is the most basic adjustment of a constant flow metering system.
A smaller main jet makes the engine richer, by allowing less fuel to flow back to the
tank and forcing more fuel to go to the engine. A larger main jet makes the engine
leaner, by allowing more fuel to flow back to the tank which means less fuel flows
to the engine. Regarding jets: see section on “K-TYPE JETS” on Pages #72-73 and
“ORIFICE THEORY”on Pages #199-200.
This valve also acts as a check valve to hold pressure for starting and idling.
We highly recommend plumbing this valve after the fuel filter, since any dirt or
sticking may cause the engine to idle poorly or possibly not start (see Kinsler’s
PREFERRED PLUMBING SCHEMATIC on Page #108). Note: It is important to #3112 ‘Ano-QD’ quick disconnect valve

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Plumb the Jet Selector Valve (JSV) on the outlet side of
your main bypass jet can. Take the jet out of the main
bypass and replace it with one thick shim, .183” thick,
supplied in installation kit. The main bypass will now be
utilized only to keep pressure in the system for starting
and idle with no jet in it.

COCKPIT INSTALLATION
Drill one 1 5/8” hole and three 3/16” holes using the drilling template enclosed with the
valve. Install the valve so that the outlet is to the right (3 o’clock). Insert knob through
hole and attach trim plate to valve body with the three screws provided.
CAUTION:
Never loosen the four allen set screws in the knurled
CHANGING JET SET knob, the knob’s detent pins are indexed for proper
jet alignment to the outlet port of the JSV body.
1 Set pointer in line with outlet.
2 Remove cover (6 bolts). Note :
3 Remove springs (8). Numbers of steps relate
to schematic on right.
4 Remove jets (8).
5 Before installing the new jets, place #600 grit sandpaper
from the installation kit on a hard flat smooth surface
and lightly lap the backside (opposite the number) of
the jets to be sure they will seal properly in the valve.
NOTE : excessive lapping may alter the jet flows.
6 With the knob pointer still positioned in line with the
outlet fitting, drop the richest (smallest) jet into the
hole in the cylinder that is in line with the outlet (the
position that is over the hole in the body). The num
ber on the jet should be visible.
7 Drop the remaining jets into the cylinder, in order from
the smallest to largest, going counterclockwise from
the first jet.
8 Replace the springs.
9 Replace the cover; be careful that the o-ring is in it’s
groove.
10 Replace the eight socket head cap screws.
If the jets are installed properly in the valve, the
richest jet will be obtained when the knob pointer is
straight to the right (aligned with the outlet; see step
#1 above), and the next leanest jet will be obtained by
rotating the knob counterclockwise one position. © 2019

RANGE JET VALVE
FOR USE WITH KINSLER JET SELECTOR VALVE
WHEN DO YOU NEED IT ?
A Range Jet Valve is required when a Kinsler Jet Selector Valve is being installed and
the main bypass jet exceeds .100” diameter. This is because very high flow through the
Jet Selector causes enough turbulence to affect the stability of the flow through the jets
in it. The accuracy of the valve is excellent when used with jets under .100”.

HOW IT WORKS
The Range Jet creates a constant bypass around the Jet Selector Valve, so the flow
passing through the Jet Selector is reduced.
An added bonus of the Range Jet Valve is that the jets in the Jet Selector Valve don’t #3020 Kinsler Range Jet Valve Kit,
have to be changed... if a richer or leaner set of jets is needed, merely change the jet includes two 6 AN swivel tee fittings

much easier, quicker, and cheaper!
PLUMBING
Arrange the two ‘tee’ fittings as
shown, so the flow to and from the
Range Jet Valve will be flowing
through the “straight through” side of
the tee.
Note : Use this schematic with our

recommend if there were no Range Jet Valve in the system.... If using a Range Jet Valve,
since there is always flow bypassing through the Range the jets in the Jet Selector Valve should be :

SECONDARY BYPASS VALVE
Barrel Valve Spool Ramp
Since the engine makes less power at part throttle, it needs less fuel.
The spool in the barrel valve is the main control for part throttle
fuel delivery. At wide open throttle, the spool has a large notch cut
into it’s side to pass all the fuel to the nozzles unrestricted. As the
throttles are closed, a tapered ramp ground into the side of the spool
reduces the passage to restrict flow to the nozzles. When adjusting
the hex-link to set the idle fuel rate, the spool is being re-positioned
to make the passageway larger or smaller to the nozzles. If you
remove the fitting from the top of the barrel valve, you can see this
ramp. Because each engine’s part throttle fuel requirement varies due
to camshaft, manifold, and exhaust system selection, the fuel rate the
ramp delivers at part throttle is seldom exactly what the engine needs,
but the secondary can be used to tailor it.

How The Secondary Works FUEL REQUIREMENT versus THROTTLE OPENING


Past 40 degrees of throttle opening, the 3000 RPM curve
The flow to the secondary bypass is through a port in the top half requires little more fuel flow, because at that speed the engine

about half throttle, so it has no affect on wide open throttle metering. efficiency.
Depending on the exact spool positioning, the port may actually be
slightly closed off at an idle. The secondary bypass normally has
a higher pressure setting than the main bypass, so when the engine
returns to idle speed, the secondary bypass poppet closes and allows
the spring and poppet in the main jet can to regulate the idle fuel
pressure.
Applications of the Valve
The valve will often improve the performance of the engine for any appli-
cation: Drag Racing, Oval Track, Road Racing, Pulling Truck or Tractor,
Street, Boat Racing, Hill-Climb, Mud or Sand Racing, etc.
A) Staging : An engine at the starting line being held at high
RPM has the throttle open only a few degrees, but
the pump is putting out a lot of fuel. The fuel rate
will often be too rich and tend to load up the SECONDARY BYPASS tailors part throttle fuel flow.
engine... the secondary can be used to lean it out. Beyond a 40 degree throttle opening, the barrel valve spool
shuts off the passage to the secondary bypass.
B) Over-Run : After going through the traps, or at the end of a
straight-away, when the throttles are snapped closed, the pump is still at high RPM. The pressure in the
system goes quite high, especially with a small main jet and a jet restricted high speed bypass (or NO high
speed bypass). The secondary serves as a “dump-off” to reduce the high pressure, thus preventing an over-
rich condition.
C) Idle : The secondary bypass pressure is usually set higher than the idle pressure, so the valve is normally NOT
bypassing any fuel at an idle. In some special applications, like unblown nitro or highly supercharged
engines, the secondary is adjusted to aid in controlling idle fuel pressure. In these systems the secondary
bypass will be active at idle speeds and may also utilize a restrictor jet to limit or control the amount of
flow that the circuit can bypass.
D) Cornering : If you run through the turns at part throttle and the engine loads up, or is sluggish coming out of them,
install a lighter spring or reduce the shims in the secondary. If it lacks response or backfires out the intake
when the throttle is depressed, install a heavier spring or more shims.
E) When used in conjunction with a Kinsler Vapor Separator Tank System : It may be necessary to reduce the pressure setting of
the secondary bypass when installing a Vapor Separator Tank System. This is due to the down-stream pressure (Vapor Separator
Tank pressure) acting against the secondary bypass outlet. Generally we find the secondary pressure will need to be reduced by 3
PSI; the typical pressure in the VST. We recommend installing a Kinsler “bubble tight” one way check valve on the outlet of the
secondary bypass. This will ensure that engine flooding cannot occur by fuel backflowing through the secondary and out to the
nozzles when the engine is not running.
Installation On a Kinsler, Hilborn, or Crower barrel valve, the secondary is plumbed to the barrel valve spool retaining fitting.
Should the barrel valve fitting not have the provision for a secondary, it usually can be converted for it. On Enderle and Jackson
units, the system MUST first be converted to an external bypass jet (see Kinsler section on Enderle barrel valve conversion, Pages
#110-111). Then the secondary bypass is connected to the “out” or “ret” fitting on the barrel valve.

Troubleshooting
First follow all steps in “System Troubleshooting,” Pages #106-107.
1) Check to be sure that the poppet seals in the body. A small amount
of dirt can cause the poppet to stick. Thoroughly clean the
valve and connecting hose assembly.
2) If adjusting the secondary valve doesn’t seem to do
anything, make sure the barrel valve spool has a
bypass port (see Page #104) and that the secondary
valve is installed correctly. #3030 secondary bypass valve
3) Adjustments to the secondary valve should not affect wide open
fuel mixture; if they do:
A) Check to make sure the spool is indexed correctly in the barrel valve.
B) Check the fit of the spool to the barrel valve block.
Approx. clearance is one-half of a thousandth of an inch.
Too loose of a fit can cause fuel to leak out through the
secondary port at wide open throttle. Test the fit with
a leak down meter, 1% or less is preferred at WOT.

HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
WHY YOU NEED A HIGH SPEED BYPASS
A high speed bypass is needed to obtain maximum horsepower because the
engine will experience a loss of volumetric efficiency at RPM above the peak HIGH SPEED
torque. At high RPM the inlet valves are open for such a small amount of time OPENS
that the cylinders do not have enough time to completely fill with fresh mixture:
Fuel curve “A” shows the flow of a system with a main bypass jet only. An
engine with the same volumetric efficiency at all speeds would have this fuel
rate requirement.
Fuel curve “B” is the actual fuel requirement of a typical engine. Note that
curve “A” is too rich at high engine speed, resulting in a loss of power.
Fuel curve “C” represents the flow rate attained by using a richer main jet to ob-
tain a steeper initial curve, then a high speed to break it over to follow the engine
requirement.... A very close compromise to curve “B”.
THE HIGH SPEED ALSO BENEFITS THE MID-RANGE PERFORMANCE
If an engine is jetted to obtain maximum horsepower at high RPM without a high speed bypass, it would be lean around the peak torque
RPM (see fuel curve “A” compared to the engine fuel requirement, “B”). Unfortunately jetting rich enough for best mid-range power will
cause the engine to run rich and lose power at high RPM. By installing a high speed bypass, separate control of the mid-range and high
RPM fuel rates are possible. The main jet can be run richer for best mid-range performance, while using the high speed to lean the system
for best power at high RPM.
TUNING TIPS AND BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
Turning the screw “in” on a diaphragm type high speed or changing to a heavier spring, and/or adding more shims in a jet can type, will
raise the pressure (RPM) at which the valve opens, making the system richer on the top end. The high speed is usually adjusted to start
opening about 500-1000 RPM above peak torque. If a high speed is installed on a fuel system when it is calibrated by Kinsler, the main
jet and high speed bypass setting should be very close for best power. However, if the system does not seem to have the ideal fuel rate “as
received”:
1) If the fuel curve seems too rich throughout the RPM range, go to a leaner main jet.
2) If just the top end seems rich; go lower on the high speed pressure setting until the high rpm mixture is correct.
A) If the system has a restrictor jet, try going .004” - .010” larger per run. (Note: the calibrated pressure settings of the high
speed should not require a major adjustment if the original main jet is being utilized.) Compare this with the results
obtained by going lower on the valve pressure setting.
B) If the system still seems rich after step “A” above, lower the opening pressure of the high speed by approximately 3 PSI.
CAUTION: We recommend you reinstall the original restrictor jet before lowering the pressure setting.
C) If the engine still seems rich with the lower pressure setting, repeat step “A”. While this method may require several runs
of the engine it has be found to be a safe way to tune the system while avoiding engine damage from going too lean.
3) If the system is adjusted to give a proper fuel curve, but the overall curve needs to be richened or leaned due to changes in
the engine displacement, air density, weather, altitude, etc., adjust the high speed pressure for each main jet step you adjust.
4) Tune the engine for best performance, not just what appears to be good plug readings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When properly adjusted, a high speed bypass’s engagement should not be felt by the driver.
If the driver feels the high speed bypass engage because the engine’s power increases dramatically, then either the main jet is adjusted too
rich or the high speed is opening at too high a RPM. Either condition will cause the engine’s output to be lower than optimum. There
should be no sudden burst of power, only a steady strong pull.
RESTRICTOR JETS
The pressure setting of the high speed is used to control the RPM at which the valve opens, while the
restrictor jet is used to limit the flow through it after it opens. The smaller the jet, the less fuel that can
flow through the high speed and back to the tank, thus richening the system at higher RPM levels.
In some Oval Track applications the use of a restrictor jet assures that the high speed does not dump
off too much fuel at high RPM part throttle.... for example coming down a straight away and quickly
closing the throttles causing a pressure spike. The high speed will open and start returning fuel. The
restrictor jet will then restrict the amount of fuel bypassed during this overrun condition.
If you own a high speed bypass valve that doesn’t have a provision for a restrictor jet. Simply use a jet
can after the valve by removing the poppet and stretching the spring out to hold the jet in place. Make WHEN THE JET IS
sure the jet can has a jet sealing o-ring. DROPPED INTO THE END

HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
ADVANTAGE OF KINSLER’S DIAPHRAGM HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
The advantage of this valve over the “jet can” type used in the past is that it has less
internal friction on it’s moving parts, and it has a much larger area
for the pressure to act on for regulation, resulting in a valve that opens at the same
RPM every time. Easily adjusted using a blade screwdriver and a 7/16” wrench; no
parts to drop or lose, no dealing with leaking fuel when changing pressure settings.

THE ULTIMATE HIGH SPEED Vent Location
KINSLER K-140 VALVES
This valve has the highest flow capacity with the lowest pressure rise
of any valve on the market. For most applications the rise is under
1-PSI, since the total bypass flow for most systems is 600 lbs/hr or
less. #3982
Extremely smooth operation. The closing flow curve is within 0.3
(3/10) PSI at any flow point on the opening curve. This is achieved
by hardcoating, then microlapping all of the moving parts. This
means the pressure in the fuel system will stay close to the set point
on both rising and falling engine RPM.

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS
PUMP OUTPUT
In theory, a mechanical pump’s
output is linear to the RPM at
which it is driven. Rotate the
pump shaft twice as fast and the
flow will double. However, even
a good pump is affected by the
physical clearances of the gears
and the pressure load against the
outlet. Typically the flows at very
low RPM and very high RPM will Running clearance is a must for the
be below the linear graph of the pump gears. This clearance causes
pump’s output due some internal leakage back past the
to internal leakage, pumping gears and has the same effect as a
friction losses, and clearance in the bypass from the pump outlet back to
components. the inlet.
GENERAL SIZING AND SERVICE
Engine displacement, volumetric efficiency, and the fuel being used will dictate the required pump displacement size. If you have a doubt
about the size of your pump, note the number stamped on it and give us a call. Several pumps are assembled using the same size hous-
ing, so the casting number located on the housing does not indicate the exact pump displacement. Most pumps are identified by the serial
number stamped on it.
Most pumps experience wear over a period of time. To maintain engine performance on a fuel system where the pump is losing flow out-
put, the main jet has to be continually richened. If the main jet is not richened, the top end performance will drop off. If a problem is not
found after thoroughly checking other engine components (especially valve springs, cam lobes, and ignition), the pump should be sent in
for testing.
We can test and rebuild many types of pumps. To have a pump tested, send it in with all of the fittings still in it.
Include a day and evening time telephone number with the area code..... a technician will call if there is a problem.

CHANGING PUMP ROTATION:
Gear-rotor style pumps are reversed by removing the cover and re-indexing it 180o. Pumps tend to
change their flow when taken apart and reassembled. Disassembling the pump in the field is discour-
aged. It is recommended that the pump be sent to us, if the rotation needs to be changed. We will flow
test the pump before and after changing it’s rotation to be sure it is performing properly.
Gear to Gear style pumps are reversed by removing the inlet and outlet fittings. Simply turn the body
180o and install inlet and outlet fittings in the opposite end of the pump from the original configuration.
(Note: the original inlet port of the pump will now be the outlet port)

we have set up the pump, since the tolerances and output of the pump
are sensitive to disassembly and reassembly. PG-150C -1/2
e) We cannot sell parts for Hilborn fuel pumps directly to the customer for user repair.
The PG150C is the current series fuel pump. It was preceded by PG150, the PG150A,
and the PG150B. These numbers are on the casting, the actual pump displacement
is designated by the first number of the serial number (which is stamped into the pump
casting). Exceptions, if the pump was resized since new, the new size is designated by
a -# at the end of the original serial number, example: originally 0-9632 which was a
size -0, resized to a -1, the number will be 0-9632-1

Kinsler Fuel Injection
Dear Mr. Kinsler
I would like to personally thank you for your support in 2005.
We had a great year finishing 9th in the World of Outlaw point
standings. As a manufacturer you will be happy to know that we
also lead the World of Outlaws with 12 fast times (3 track records)
and 12 second fast times. This alone is an impressive statistic;
however we also raced the entire 100 race World of Outlaw
schedule with NO engine failures. We feel this is an amazing
accomplishment and one we could not have acheived without your
involvement.

Again, I appreciate all you do for my race team and I am looking


forward to even more success in 2006.

Sincerely yours,
Terry McCarl

BASIC ADJUSTMENTS FOR
CONSTANT FLOW METERING
IDLE SPEED
Controlled by throttling the amount of air entering the engine, not by the
amount of fuel. Set the idle speed by adjusting the throttle stops. If a slow
or a smooth idle cannot be obtained, some of the throttle plates may not
be closing properly... see UNI-SYN on Page #57 and THROTTLE SYN-
CHRONIZATION AT IDLE on Page #56.

THROTTLE RESPONSE
Governed by the idle fuel rate. Mechanical fuel injection doesn’t have an
accelerator pump, so it’s necessary to put in a continuous “pump shot” by
running a rich idle mixture. Smoke, spark plug fouling, and diluted oil due
to prolonged periods of idling may occur with the barrel valve set for best
response, so minimize idle time. The injection can be adjusted for a “nice
clean idle”, but it will not have the best throttle response. (We offer a DUAL
RATE IDLE SYSTEM, see Page #94).

Rotating the hex link so that it moves the arm on the barrel valve in the same direction that it moves when the throttles are
opened makes the idle richer.
Note : Idle fuel rate has no affect on wide open throttle mixture.
To adjust the “idle” fuel rate, mark one of the flats on the hex link to the barrel valve, then also measure the
hex link’s center to center distance (“M” measurement). Keep a record of how many flats it takes to richen
or lean the idle so the hex link can be brought back to the “As Shipped” setting. If you lose track, the “As
Shipped” setting can be reset by using the “M” measurement and the mark on the flat. Never loosen the arm
on the throttle shaft or barrel valve.

M = H D

D = diameter of one rod end


H = overall length of hex
link with rod ends

With the vehicle warmed up and out of gear, set the “idle” fuel rate for the best throttle response, not a “nice clean idle”.
Rapping the throttle open quickly should give a sharp response. So you don’t run a richer idle than necessary, lean the idle
until you don’t have good response, then richen it up just enough to get good response again. If you are running an auto-
matic transmission or a boat, adjust the hex link one or two more flats richer to compensate for when the vehicle is put in
gear, thus loading the engine.

SETTING THE LEAKAGE OF A
BARREL VALVE SPOOL
LEAKAGE SETTING BARREL VALVE
A leakage test is done to determine how far the idle passage ramp
is open in the spool. The setting that works best for one engine
combination may not work for another because variables such as
fuel pressure, throttle size, idle speed, and ignition timing all affect
the proper barrel valve “idle” opening. The idle setting, or spool
indexing, affects the part throttle fuel delivery. See sections on
KINSLER BARREL VALVE SPOOLS, Pg. 94 and SETTING V
THE “IDLE” FUEL RATE FOR BEST THROTTLE RESPONSE,
Pg. 102

DIFFERENT STYLES OF LEAKAGE METERS


1) Direct Percent Readout Style - displays the percent of
leakage on the gauge. Sun leak testers were like this.... no Fig. 1 cap off secondary outlet fitting
longer made.

2) Pressure Differential Style - usually has two pressure


gauges, pressure in and pressure out. The leakage is a
function of the differential value between the gauge
readings. #5980 Kinsler leakage tester
Examples: 100-PSI in and 70-PSI out, results in a leakage
of 30-PSI, 30-PSI is 30% of 100-PSI.
80-PSI in and 70-PSI out, results in a leakage
of 10-PSI, 10-PSI is 12.5% of the 80-PSI inlet
pressure.

REMEMBER YOU WANT A PERCENTAGE !

TESTING PROCEDURE

NOTES: A) PLEASE read the instructions for the leakage tester before 5980 Dual gauge leakdown metering;
using it. 0-100 PSI / 0-100 PSI gauges
B) Be consistent in the test method. Perform the test the same with 6 AN female swivel hose
every time, this will help avoid errors. assembly
C) The secondary bypass fitting MUST be capped off, see upper photo.
D) Always use the same inlet pressure for repeatability.
1) Attach the leakage meter outlet hose to the barrel valve inlet fitting.
2) Open the barrel valve to wide open throttle, turn the air pressure to the meter on and off to make sure that the gauges zero.
Note: The manufacturer of the leakage meter you are using may specify a different zeroing method. Use that one.
3) With the air pressure on, close the throttles to the idle position and observe the gauge reading(s).
4) Most Leakage Meters Do Not Read the Same; but all Kinsler meters are calibrated to a master so each of them reads the same.
Test your barrel valve leakage after receiving your unit from our calibration department. Record the reading before making
ANY adjustments. Your leakage tester may show a value different than the unit we used. Leakage testers that are working
properly read within about 2% of one another.
CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCE THE REQUIRED LEAKAGE
Fuel system pressure, engine idle speed, and the load against the engine all affect the required leakage setting
of the barrel valve spool.

1) Fuel Pressure at Idle ; Given two identical engines: if engine ‘A’’s fuel pressure is higher than engine ‘B’’s, because of a
heavier spring behind the poppet in the main bypass, the barrel valve spool on Engine ‘A’ will need to be closed further to
maintain the same fuel idle flow.
2) Engine Idle Speed ; Is proportional to the idle air flow, which will affect the amount of fuel required. The more air, the more
fuel needed to maintain the same air/fuel ratio.
3) Engine Load ; A Sprint Car which is push started “in gear” will have a significant load against the engine right
from the start. A drag car engine will start and idle “out of gear” with very little load, mainly the reciprocating
friction of the engine and accessories. The Sprint Car engine will require more fuel due to the heavier load
(increased load means additional horsepower requirement) to maintain a given RPM.

INDEXING A BARREL VALVE
LINKAGE GEOMETRY TO BARREL VALVE

The linkage geometry to the barrel valve affects the part throttle fuel
rate. The geometry MUST be set correctly before the spool is
indexed. The center-to-center (c-c) of arms ‘A’ and ‘B’ must
be equal. The barrel valve hex link must have the same c-c
distance (‘M’) as the barrel valve spool shaft to the throttle
shaft (‘D’). As the two arms rotate, they will remain
parallel to each other, and the barrel valve hex link will
remain parallel to the baseline. Setting up the linkage
geometry this way will cause the barrel valve spool to
rotate exactly the same as the throttle shaft.

See “HOW TO SET UP LINKAGE”


on Pages #58-59.

INDEXING AND ROTATION Fig. 1.1


Kinsler barrel valves are available in clockwise (Right Hand)
and counterclockwise (Left hand) rotation. The spool is
centered in the block, with the inlet fitting port offset to one
side of the spool bore. This gives more direct flow through
the notch cut in the side of the spool at wide open throttle.
See “Barrel Valve Spool Ramp” and “How The Secondary Rotation looking at Rotation looking at
Works”, top of pg #84. top of spool top of spool

A properly fit spool will have approximately
0.0005” clearance to the barrel valve block
bore. A spool with a looser fit will allow fuel
to seep around the spool, requiring reindexing
to compensate for the increased flow of fuel. If
seepage is excessive, the spool will have to be
reindexed too much causing the secondary port
to be closed off prematurely during the opening
of the throttles. Also, the fuel flow notch may be
reindexed enough to close it off some at wide open Secondary

BASIC ADJUSTMENTS FOR
CONSTANT FLOW METERING
MAIN FUEL MIXTURE
An engine that “pops and crackles” out of the intake manifold under full power is probably lean. An engine that seems
lazy is probably rich. An engine running on methanol can be difficult to tune; as it will run cool and cause you to think it is
rich but actually it can be lean enough not to build power (generate heat), having the symptons of running rich. If you are
uncertain if the engine is running rich or lean, it is generally safer to richen the engine and try it. If it is lean and you lean it
more, you may damage the engine.
SPARK PLUG READINGS: While plug color should not be used as the only indication of proper fuel mixture, cracked
porcelain, melted cement, and melted electrodes are all indications of extreme heat or detonation from lean fuel mixture, im-
proper timing, bad fuel, etc. If the plugs show any of these signs, find the cause and correct it before further damage results!

Drag Racing - Do not put too much emphasis on spark plug readings, as they can be misleading. Time slips give the best indi-
cation of proper mixture. Go richer and leaner and then use the jet that runs the best. Note: for top end mixture, see:
HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE on Pages #86-87.
A) Engine runs strong off the line but bogs 1/3 of the way down the strip. The unit is usually rich when running gaso
line and may be rich or lean when running methanol. Install a larger (leaner) main bypass jet when running gaso
line and install a smaller (richer-safer) jet when running methanol.
B) Engine crackles at the top of each gear, either the main jet is too lean (too large), or the high speed
bypass is set too lean (see HIGH SPEED BYPASS Pages #86-87.
C) Engine is sluggish and seems rich at the start but cleans out and runs good 1/2 way down. The idle is set too rich;
lean out the idle only, not the main jet. Note : If you reset the idle too lean, the engine will lose throttle response.

Oval Track and Road Racing - There are too


many variables involved to use lap times to
determine jetting. It is a must to watch the
spark plugs carefully as the primary indication
of fuel mixture. Also look at the tops of the
pistons and the inside of the exhaust ports.

install a smaller (richer-safer) jet for
running methanol and try it.
B) Engine crackles at the end of the

REFERENCE
#1- Primarily on gasoline burning engines. Gasoline generates considerable vapor pressure when it is contained in
a closed tank. The return fuel blasting back into the tank creates more volume of vapor than the volume of
gasoline used, so the pressure in the tank increases and causes the unit to go richer. Alcohol and nitro units
go lean if the vent is too small, as they can’t draw the fuel out of the tank quick enough. See FUEL TANK
CONSTRUCTION and LOCATION on Page #177 for proper vent sizes.

PREFERRED PLUMBING SCHEMATIC
FOR CONSTANT FLOW
This Preferred Plumbing Schematic will give the same results as the “Old” style plumbing schematic we
recommended in the past, but this Preferred Schematic will supply FILTERED fuel to main, secondary, and high
speed bypass. Unfiltered fuel may stick the poppets in the main and secondary, and it clogs up the high speed bypass.
Placing the fuel shutoff valve at the barrel valve has an advantage. When the engine is shut off, the fuel in the filter
and hoses picks up heat and expands. By having the shutoff at the barrel valve, this expanding fuel is forced back
toward the fuel tank rather than into the engine.
Never plumb any of the bypass valves back to the fuel pump inlet. When they blow off, they make some vapor,
which we don’t want going back through the system. The secondary and high speed bypass valves may be
teed together on their outlet sides so that they share
a common return hose, or the two valves may be
plumbed on separate return hoses.

KINSLER’S CONVERSION FROM ENDERLE’S JET-IN-THE-
BARREL-VALVE TO KINSLER EXTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM.
Kinsler is pleased with the quality of Enderle’s blower hats, but we prefer not to use their jets or nozzles for two reasons:
They are sharp edged and the jets have a screw driver slot. As mentioned in “A Note About Jets”, square edged jets are easily
damaged... the use of the screw driver in the slot further aggravates the problem. Changing to the Kinsler external bypass
system and using the K-type jets eliminated the problem. Many of the racers also prefer the external bypass system for it’s
greater flexibility in tuning and ease of operation.

KINSLER VAPOR SEPARATOR TANK (VST)
SYSTEM
Also know as a pressurized pump inlet system.
THE PROBLEM
For a constant flow fuel injection system to meter the fuel repeatably, the mechanical pump must deliver a precise amount of
fuel at any given RPM. In many installations, however, the pump delivers varying amounts of fuel, sometimes very erratically,
due to plumbing of the vehicle, or operation at high altitude and/or hot conditions.

THE CAUSE
The main problem is caused by pump inlet cavitation, a form of “vapor lock”. Because gasoline almost boils at room
temperature, if the temperature of the fuel is raised, or a vacuum is pulled on it, it will start to boil. This is what causes the
pump delivery problem...as the pump tries to draw the fuel into it’s inlet, it pulls a slight vacuum on the fuel. The higher the
pump speed, the higher the vacuum. This vacuum, combined with hot temperatures found in most race cars, causes at least
some of the fuel in the inlet hose to flash to vapor (boil). Thus the pump draws in a mixture of liquid and vapor and therefore
delivers less fuel per revolution. This causes an erratic lean condition and sometimes premature pump failure due to a lack of
pump lubrication.
Conditions that aggravate pump inlet cavitation :
HEAT Hot weather; hot fuel in the fuel tank; vehicle parked on hot black pavement
on a sunny summer day (which heats up the whole car); exhaust pipes near
fuel hoses, pump, tank, etc.; radiator heat coming back across fuel pump,
hoses, tank, etc.; fuel pump not isolated from engine block heat (use phenolic
isolator see MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS on Page #104 and #176)

VACUUM Pump inlet hose too long, such as in vehicles that have a fuel tank in the rear;
pump inlet hose too small in diameter; fittings in pump inlet hose with too
small of an inside diameter; angle drilled fittings, (see Pg. #112); low mount-
ed fuel tank; high mounted fuel pump
THE CURE
In our VST system, more fuel than the engine will consume is pumped from the main tank
by an electric fuel pump to the VST. The excess fuel flows back to the main tank through the
Backpressure Valve, which holds 2-6 PSI in the VST, thus pressurizing the mechanical pump
inlet with about that same pressure. This helps prevent the fuel from boiling at the inlet of
the pump.
The VST is specially built to act as a low pressure reservoir and as a vapor separator. The
fuel coming from the electric fuel pump, main bypass, secondary bypass, and high speed
bypass has vapor in it. The tank is SPECIALLY BAFFLED to separate the vapor and feed
it to the top center fitting on the tank, then back to the main tank, where it can escape out
of the main tank vent. The pressure in the tank is very dependant on the flow through the
Backpressure Valve, so this flow curve is an important part of the system’s calibrations.
Since the electric fuel pump provides the flow through the valve, it is important to use
only the specified model electric fuel pump; a pump that flows more or less would alter
the calibration. The poppet in this valve is designed not to seal perfectly, so any residual
pressure can be bled back to the main tank when the system is shut off. It is best to install a
pressure gauge in the hose between the VST and the Backpressure Valve. If the system does
not have about 3 PSI when the electric pump is switched on, the engine should not be started.
Check to see that the electric pump is working and the Backpressure Valve is functioning
properly. Under racing conditions, a pressure reading below 1 PSI could cause a lean
condition. Any deviation from the required 2.5-4 PSI should be closely monitored.

The Economizer Valve (Econ) is used to reduce the pump output pressure back closer to what it
would have been if the pump were not pressurized at it’s inlet. The system would be quite rich
at an idle and low speeds if this valve was not used. The poppet in this valve has an orifice, sized
to flow the proper amount of fuel for cranking and idling. Above idle, the poppet moves off it’s
seat and maintains a pressure drop of about 3 PSI across it to counterbalance the pressure being
applied to the inlet side of the fuel pump. It should be installed after the filter to protect it from
dirt. Mounting clamp

KINSLER VAPOR SEPARATOR TANK (VST)
SYSTEM - CONTINUED -
APPLICATIONS
The VST system is often used on road race cars, marine applications,
off-road cars and trucks, street cars, and sometimes on drag cars with rear
mounted fuel tank, both for constant flow and EFI systems. Used by top
race teams all over the world including Daytona, Sebring, and LeMans.
It is usually used with gasoline, however it can be used with alky, which
requires special maintenance and/or hardware. Call a Kinsler technician
for details.

ADVANTAGES OF THE VST SYSTEM

purged out. Gone are the problems of having to try and start the engine three or four times, this is hard on the starter, battery, and some-
times a persons ego (nothing hardly worse then being at a race or show and having the engine start, pop, bang, and die several times).
The VST system is less expensive than other “fixes” on the market. It takes up less room, and is not affected by G-forces.

INSTALLATION
Use the plumbing schematic entitled “KINSLER VAPOR SEPARATOR TANK SYSTEM” see Page #116. Follow the schematic
carefully; read all the small notes. It would be a good idea to install a 15-PSI gauge to monitor the VST pressure. Install it between the
VST and the Back Pressure valve. The pressure at an idle should be 3-4 PSI. This pressure should not drop below 1-PSI at maximum
RPM wide open throttle operation.

Electric fuel pump wiring: wire the electric fuel pump into the ignition
switch, so that the pump cannot run when the ignition is shut “off”.
PLUS install a separate pump switch in the circuit so even when the
ignition is “on”, the pump can be shut off. It is important NOT to
run the pump when the engine is shut “off”, fuel could drip from the
nozzles and eventually flood the engine.

Installed to stop fuel flowing from the pressurized VST back through the secondary bypass
valve, into the barrel valve, and out to the nozzles when the engine is not running. This
could cause the engine to hydraulically lock up.

TURBOCHARGED CONSTANT FLOW
INJECTION SYSTEM
Unlike positive-displacement blowers (GMC roots blowers),
the boost a turbocharged engine is not directly proportional to
engine speed. Since the boost level is not directly tied to RPM
and throttle position, a conventional mechanical fuel injection
system, with a barrel valve and mechanical pump, cannot respond
correctly to the engine’s fuel requirements. The system requires
two stages of fuel delivery. One stage fuels the engine under the
naturally aspirated conditions while the second stage takes over
when the engine goes into boost. The second stage is activated
via the use of an air valve and a boost sensor valve (See schematic
below).
Duane Schroeder’s triple turbocharged alcohol
TYPICAL VALVES AND FUNCTIONS John Deere ® super stock pulling tractor
Main bypass : Set for nominal 2-3 PSI and has changeable metering jet. Controls fuel pressure for starting and low speed off-boost opera-
tion. The jet in this valve controls fuel rates at part throttle and off boost conditions. (Also see Economizer valve)
Secondary bypass : this valve is typically set for 8-25 PSI blow off (depending on exact
application). The function of this bypass is to control fuel pressure at part throttle
operation where high engine RPM is experienced. This valve is mechanically shut off at
about 50% of throttle opening. (See INDEXING A BARREL VALVE on Page #108)
Air valve : commonly called the “A” valve. This valve holds an orifice which reduces the
amount of boost signal that is sensed at the boost sensor. The larger the jet in the air valve,
the more boost the sensor will see, therefore making the injection unit go richer. This valve
aids in controlling fuel under boost conditions ONLY !!!
Boost sensor valve : this valve controls fuel enrichment on a boosted engine by restricting
the fuel flow back to the fuel tank. A piloted valve suspended on a diaphragm slides into
the return port seat. When boost signal is applied to the dry side of the diaphragm, the air
pressure pushes the valve toward the seat and restricting the return flow which richens the Boost sensor valve
engine. When no boost signal exists on the diaphragm, the return flow pushes the valve
and diaphragm away from the seat, opening sufficient area for fuel return. Signal pressure at
Economizer valve : this valve is used to restrict the amount of fuel flow and pressure to the barrel valve and 30 PSI boost with

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION BASICS
Electronic fuel injection metering, when properly designed and programmed, is
today’s most accurate way to introduce fuel to an internal combustion engine.
With it’s many sensors and input signals it can be tuned to meet the demands of an
engine operating over an extremely broad range of conditions.
The most commonly sensed inputs are:

1) Engine RPM
2) Throttle position and rate of opening/closing
3) Barometric pressure and/or manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P.)
4) Air temperature
5) Water and/or oil temperature, and sometimes fuel temperature

There are two basic types of multi-port EFI : 1) Group Fired

GROUP FIRED 2) Sequential Fired
This injection system generally triggers a group of the injectors
simultaneously. The ignition system or crank trigger provides the signal
to the electronic control unit (ECU) for speed input and thus injector Accel DFI Gen. VII system
triggering. Since a V8 ignition fires four cylinders per revolution, this
gives four injections per revolution on a basic group fired system... eight injections per engine cycle. Most ECU’s can be
programmed to fire the injectors based on the number of ignition/trigger inputs received. Example: a typical V8 engine will be
programmed to pulse 4 or 8 injectors every fourth input pulse from the ECU trigger device.
The good thing about the group fired system is it’s low cost. The problem is that while some injectors will be close to properly
timed, others will not. If an injector is triggered at the wrong crank angle, fuel may collect in areas of the intake port or cling to
the runner walls. When the intake valve opens, only a portion of the fuel injected will be in suspension with the air entering the
cylinder, while the remainder may be running down the port wall as liquid. This can cause erratic mixture conditions to exist in
that cylinder, especially during low speed engine operation, due to the small amount of air movement in the intake runner.
Many engines have at least some liquid fuel coming past the intake valve at various conditions. One saving grace is that the
pressure drop and turbulence across the intake valve causes much of the liquid fuel to become atomized at that point.
Since EFI injectors turn on and off, the interrupted flow causes pressure waves to bounce around in the fuel rails, especially at
wide open throttle where the flows are the highest. In a group fired system you often trigger two or more injectors at a time in a
given fuel rail. The simultaneous pulses can reinforce each other at some RPM to give unusually high pressure pulses, sometimes
causing poor fuel distribution. It often helps to run a larger diameter fuel rail. Our extruded aluminum fuel rails are .680 inch
inside diameter as this smooths out the pulses quite well when compared to smaller sizes. Running higher overall system pressure
also helps. We often run about 72 PSI instead of the more common 36 to 45. The amplitude of the pressure spikes will remain
about the same, but will be relatively smaller based on the percent change in injector flow. We also like the better atomization
achieved with the higher pressure and it sometimes gives better power and economy. Be careful about running too high of fuel
pressure, as some ECUs don’t have enough current to lift the disc or pintle in the injector consistently off the seat against this
added pressure, resulting in poor fuel distribution. Also be sure your fuel pump is capable of supplying the engine with the volume
required at this higher fuel pressure.

SEQUENTIAL FIRED
These systems trigger each injector at a precise crank angle on every cylinder, usually near top dead center overlap (intake valve
opening). This improves idle quality, low speed engine smoothness, and fuel economy. Some systems can even be programmed
for different injection phasing for each speed site in the fuel map.
Triggering a sequential system is more complicated than a group fired system, as it requires a separate triggering signal to refer-
ence the start of the injector firing sequence. This signal is typically generated once every two crankshaft revolutions on a 4 cycle
engine and is most commonly referred to as the “CAM” or “SYNC” signal. The sequential system also requires a “Crank” signal,
generated at a specific crankshaft angle on each cylinder. This signal is used to calculate engine RPM and crank angle position for
injector firing and ignition triggering from the ECU. “Crank” and “CAM” signal requirements will vary with each manufacturers
ECU. Most manufacturers require
either a sine wave signal, typically generated by a magnetic sensor, or a square
wave signal, typically generated by a Hall effect sensor.
The magnetic pickup is a simple magnetic material core wrapped with fine wire. When
a piece of steel is passed by it, a electric pulse is generated. This pickup may not give
as nice a signal as the Hall effect, but it can operate in a much hotter environment and it
is more rugged.
The Hall effect square wave signal is generally very stable at all RPM and produces a
very clean sharp signal wave. A problem with the Hall effect is that it has a solid state
computer “chip” inside of it, so it cannot be surrounded by air that is hotter than 300oF,
or the chip may fail.
We offer a complete line of both group and sequential fired systems, priced from
approximately $1,500.00 for the base grouped fired unit to $18,000.00 for the most © 2019

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION BASICS
All of the systems are programmed via a serial link from
an IBM compatible computer and allow the inputs from the
sensors on the engine to be monitored on the screen. Some
systems use graphics for ease in programming. Programming
software ranges from $300.00 thru $2,000.00 depending on the
number of controllable features.
The Basic Fueling in any EFI system is controlled by engine
RPM and the amount of time each injector is kept open. It is
the “open” or “on” time that is varied by all the programming.
This is called the “pulse width” and is measured in milliseconds.
When the user wants to richen the engine, he places a larger value
in the RPM and load sites to increase the pulse width. The entire
group of all the numbers is called the “table” or “map” for each of
the ECU’s programmable functions.

Most users are at least a bit intimidated by all the new things to know when first learning to program an EFI system,
especially if not familiar with using a computer, but it all falls into place after a bit of practice.
SOME GOOD TIPS
1) Use premium quality race type suppression ignition wire. The type we use has what
looks like a tiny coil spring for a conductor. This “spring” design reduces the
magnetic flux field surrounding the wire and therefore reduces the amount of
electro-magnetic interference (E.M.I.).
2) You can never be too careful with the wiring effort. Through all the years, electrical
wire failures have been a prime cause of cars not finishing races, even with just basic
electrical systems. Ty-wrap® the wires often so they don’t vibrate and keep them
away from the distributor cap and spark plug wires. Use silicone sealer to strain-relief
the wires.
3) The ECU must not be subjected to severe vibration or jarring. It is best to mount it on
rubber vibration mounts, which we can supply. Some engines shake way too much for
the ECU, especially a four cylinder. It’s always safest not to mount the ECU on the engine. Holley HP EFI ECU
4) The ECU is made up of microprocessor computer circuits that operate on very tiny
electric inputs from the sensors on the engine. You can’t be too careful with the wiring in the vehicle :
A) The chassis is not an acceptable ground for these systems! Using it as the ground for the ECU has caused many
problems with all the brands and types of ECUs. The problem is that any vehicle has points along its electrical
system with varying voltages, varying resistances, and current surges. By far the safest way to hook up the power
supply to any ECU is to run the positive and negative lead all the way from the terminals on the battery. Put a
relay in the circuit, energized by the ignition switch so that the ECU will be automatically turned off when you
shut off the vehicle. This wiring isolates the ECU from the current surges that pass through the ignition switch.
B) Alternators, electric fuel pumps, and other electric devices that seemed just fine before installing the ECU may
actually cause electric “noise” to be transmitted through the air or through the wires thus disturbing the
functioning of the ECU. Loose or marginal connections in totally unrelated electrical items in the car can cause
electrical surges that may affect the ECU. Make all the connections as secure as you can.
5) The ECU DOES NOT LIKE HEAT !!! Since it is a computer circuit that is subject to failure from heat, and it is
generating it’s own internal heat from it’s circuits, it must be mounted in as cool a spot as you can find. The
driver compartment is usually the best location. The better units need to be surrounded by air not exceeding
140oF while some units are limited to 110-120oF.
6) Nearly all sensors being used on racing EFI systems are from passenger car systems... they don’t have the vibration
or temperature ratings that would be ideal for race vehicles. A few things to do :
A) Mount the air temperature sensor in the air intake duct and isolate if from any heat that could be conducted to
it from the engine.
B) On engines that shake a lot ( just about all four cylinders), replace the sensors often that are mounted on the
engine, especially the throttle position sensor... vibration seems to wear its rotating circuit wiper rapidly.
C) If the sensor shorts or goes open circuit, the output will be at it’s minimum or maximum value... program these
points in the ECU with a “nominal” value so you can keep racing, or at least limp home.
D) When using a hall effect sensor for triggering the ECU, be sure to locate it in an area that will not exceed 300o
Fahrenheit, or it will fail.
E) Mount all temperature sensors in active areas. Examples: mount the air temperature sensor where air will pass
over the sensor tip; mount coolant sensor where there is good coolant flow so you don’t ‘read’ a hot spot.

ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS
AT KFI YOU GET THE FACTS, NOT SALES HYPE !!!
The actual flow of your pump could be as much as 50% lower WELDON BOSCH
than the pump’s advertised flow, as the aftermarket industry
does not have a standard for testing. Flow output may be AEROMOTIVE
advertised with no backpressure on the pump, while it may see WALBRO AIRTEX

could cost you expensive engine parts and down time.
MALLORY HOLLEY
KINSLER SUPPLIES THE ANSWERS!
A) Electric pumps tested by Kinsler are first run-in on a schedule of varying pressure and
voltage, then flow tested to insure that you receive a good pump and accurate test info.
B) All flows are in pounds per hour (lbs/hr) of .72 specific gravity gasoline.
Divide the flow by 6.0 to obtain approximate gallons per hour.
C) Tests are run with 13.2 volts at the pump terminals. This is on the low end of what
should be available in any vehicle running an alternator, so the flows shown are
conservative. To calculate the flows at slightly different voltages, (+ or - 4 volts),
ratio the flow by the change in the voltage.
________
For Example: 15.2 volts x flow at 13.2 volts = approx. flow at 15.2 volts
13.2 volts
D) We offer flow testing of any new fuel pumps we sell.
We also can flow test your existing fuel pump and supply you with the test results.
Selecting the proper electric fuel pump for gasoline on a naturally aspirated engine
Select a pump from the table that will give you the flow and pressure you need. Flow in lb/hr is about
1/2 of the horsepower number of your engine (700 HP would need about 350 lb/hr). Oversizing the
pump about 10% is safer. Oversizing the pump too much may cause a higher than desireable current
draw. Sometimes two smaller pumps are less expensive and draw less current than one larger pump.

Wiring:
You must use the correct wire gauge to assure good voltage to the pump. It is important to fuse
the circuit for protection from excessive current (amp) draw or a possible short.
Most ECU’s that offer electric fuel pump control require a relay to carry the amps needed to run the pump.
The ECU’s delicate transistor circuit may only be capable of 500 milliamps (1/2 AMP).
CAUTION: some ECU’s will ground the relay coil for activiation, while others will supply power
to the coil. Be sure you understand the system you are using before you connect the circuit. See

ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS
WELDON “DIAL-A-FLOW”
The Weldon Dial-A-Flow voltage regulator, with pulse width modulation
is a superb fuel pump controller. It allows the user to slow down their
fuel pump, reducing the amperage draw, quieting the pump, and
reducing the potential heat build up in the fuel system, when the
pump’s full fuel flow is not required. It is designed to regulate the
speed of a pump motor under changing flow rates while maintaining
constant pressure.
Dial-A-Flow kit; includes controller, six foot cable
12340 with a potentiometer installed at one end, a switch,
five terminals, and a knob for the potentiometer

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS FOR EFI
Mechanical fuel pumps are ideal for Electronic Fuel Injection for several reasons:
1. Flow output directly related to engine RPM - decreases demand on Pressure Relief valves throughout the rev range,
especially at idle
2. No electric draw - decreases demand on electrical system
3. Fuel compatibility - coated internal pump parts resistant to methanol corrosion; many electric pumps aren’t
4. Fuel pressure - some mechanical pumps are capable of 300+ P.S.I.
5. Weight
PUMP OUTPUT
A mechanical pump’s output is close to linear with the RPM at which it is driven.
Rotate the pump shaft twice as fast and the flow will double. However, even a good
pump is affected by the clearances of the gears and the pressure at the outlet. The flows
at very low RPM and very high RPM will be below the linear graph of the pump’s
output due to internal leakage, caused by the side clearance required for the gears. This
clearance leakage back past the gears has the same effect as a small bypass from the
pump outlet back to the inlet.

REQUIRED PUMP SIZE


The horsepower and the fuel being used will dictate the required pump size.

Model K-140 pressure relief valve has many


unique (patent pending) features
Our unit has the highest flow capacity with the lowest pressure rise of any valve
on the market. At 1000 lbs/hr (2.8 GPM) of bypass flow, it only has a 2.5 PSI pressure
rise. This is less than 1/7th to 1/4 the drop of the most popular valves we have
tested. For most applications the rise is under 1-PSI, since the total bypass flow
for most systems is 600 lbs/hr or less.
Extremely smooth operation. The closing flow curve is within 0.3 (3/10) PSI at
any flow point on the opening curve. This is achieved by hardcoating, then
microlapping all of the moving parts. This means the pressure in the fuel rails
will stay close to the set point on both rising and falling engine RPM.
Many valves can go into a “buzz” (hydraulic vibration); ours is more stable
as it is the only valve on the market with an available damping option. A
unique spring arrangement is also available to further control buzz.
The diaphragm has a swiveling “live” center pintle that closes down on the seat for
very smooth operation. Both the pintle and the seat are lapped for bubble tight close-off.
Valves that use a fixed pintle or a ball tend not to shut off smoothly, nor to seal completely.
A nice design feature is a replaceable seat. Should the seat get
damaged or worn it can be removed and a new one installed.
Two 8 AN female inlets, with full flow-through capability to help balance
fuel rail pressure fluctuations and a 3 AN pressure gauge port. We can
adapt the valves inlets to most AN sizes.
Hard anodized aluminum housing components and a very compact design
makes this piece lighter and easier to install in the vehicle. Components
are compatible with gasoline and methanol.
Seven different spring combinations are available for a total adjustable range
of 17 - 230 PSI. There is also CUSTOM BUILDUP SERVICE available.

EFI PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
AND ACCESSORIES
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE BASICS
Fuel rail pressure is controlled on an EFI system by a pressure
relief valve which returns excess volume back to the tank
thereby maintaining pressure at the injector’s inlet.
If the pressure relief valve does not do it’s job properly the system
fuel pressure may rise or fall which will cause the fuel flow to do
the same. Should the valve allow the fuel pressure to flutter, then
the fuel delivery will flutter. These conditions could cause
difficulty in starting the engine, inconsistency in the engine’s
performance, difficulty in programming, or engine damage.
Pressure relief valves used with EFI systems have a diaphragm
assembly with a pintle or ball that sets on a seat. A spring(s)
above the diaphragm assembly will force it to set on the seat at a
desired pressure. Fuel pressure from the pump will exert force on
the diaphragm and lift the sealing device off the seat allowing
fuel to pass through the valve. In order for the valve to open
and allow fuel to flow, the spring must be compressed.
Compressing the spring, causes a rise in pressure. When larger Fig. 1
volumes of fuel must be bypassed, the spring will need to be
compressed even further to allow the flow through the valve. The best designed valve will pass the desired amount of volume with
very little pressure rise. See Fig. 1
To clear up a bit of confusion: a pressure regulator limits the pressure going into a system, such as a regulator feeding fuel to a
carburetor... any vapor bubbles in the fuel are vented out through the float bowl. All EFI systems use a pressure relief
valve to control the fuel pressure. Most bypass fuel after the fuel rails which purges the vapor out of the system. If a
pressure relief valve is used on the inlet of the fuel rails there would be no way to purge the vapor out of the rails. This is
very important, since after a hot soak any vapor trapped in the rails would flow out to one or two cylinders, causing those
cylinders to be lean at start up.
VACUUM/BOOST REFERENCE
Some pressure relief valve models have a port (fitting or barb) to connect a manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P.) hose to the top
side of the diaphragm in the valve. At idle or partial throttle the vacuum pulls up on the diaphragm, lowering the fuel pressure.
Under boost, the fuel pressure will be raised. This feature broadens the usable range of the injectors. Ideally the valve should
raise or lower the fuel pressure at a 1:1 ratio. See Fig. 2.
It is desirable to maintain a constant pressure differential across the injectors for consistent fuel mapping (see ORIFICE THEORY on
Pages #202-203). When the injector outlet is installed where it
would be subjected to vacuum (under the throttle plate) or boost
(on the pressure side of blower/turbo), the flow of the injector
will increase or decrease as the resulting outlet pressure changes.
The vacuum and/or boost in a manifold runner is called
manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P. see SENSORS FOR EFI
SYSTEMS on Page #146). Referencing the manifold absolute
pressure to the pressure relief valve causes the fuel pressure in
the rail system to be adjusted by the change in the manifold
absolute pressure. This reference will maintain a constant
pressure differential across the injector and consistent flow.
ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE
Some pressure relief valves are available with an adjustment
screw to allow the fuel pressure setting to be raised or lowered.
Adjustment of the pressure relief valve allows the fuel pressure
to be increased or decreased to change the injector’s flow (see
ORIFICE THEORY on Pages #202-203), thus allowing the user
to add more or less fuel without changing injectors or the fueling
program in the ECU.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE PLUMBING
See EFI PLUMBING on Page #154 regarding the physical Fig. 2
placement of the valve in relationship to the fuel rails. All hose
sizes must have large enough inside diameter so that they will
not cause any restriction, which could cause the system’s fuel pressure to vary with the change in flow.
FILTRATION: It is very important the pressure relief valve has filtered fuel. The mechanical seat of the valve is very sensitive to dirt.
A proper fuel filter is vital to maintain the operational integrity of the EFI system components. We recommend the Kinsler fuel filter
assembly #8170, which has a 10-micron replaceable paper filter element #9031 - see FUEL FILTERS on Pages #162-166. © 2019

THE BASICS OF AN EFI INJECTOR
An EFI injector is a electronically controlled solenoid that controls fuel flow through an orifice.
When the solenoid is activated, the orifice is exposed allowing fuel to flow. EFI injectors are avail-
able with various flow capacities. The injectors are electronically pulsed, typically measured in
milliseconds (thousandths of a second), to control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine.
The percentage of time that the injector is pulsed is called the duty cycle. 100% duty cycle
or Static Flow means the injector is open all the time. Static flows for injectors are specified
at a certain pressure level. The test pressure rating may be in PSI, BAR, KPA, or KG/CM2.
Manufactures rate their injectors at different pressures. For accurate comparison of flow
rates, be sure you are comparing flows at the same pressure levels, (see Fuel Flow versus
Fuel Pressure - Page #138).
When properly sized for a specific application the injector will normally operate at 80-90% duty
cycle. Injectors that are too large will not accurately deliver small amounts of fuel for good idle
quality. Injectors that are too small may cause severe engine damage because of lean mixtures at
large throttle openings and/or high engine RPM.

EFI INJECTORS
ELECTRICAL DIFFERENCES
The solenoid inside an injector can be classified into one of two basic groups:
low resistance or high resistance. The resistance of an injector coil can be measured
with an ohm meter by attaching the meter leads to the two terminals on the injectors.
Low resistance injectors
Also referred to as peak and hold, measure between 2 and 5 ohms resistance. The
drive circuit for these injectors are called current sensing or current limiting. A peak
current is used to quickly open the injector, then a much lower hold current is used to
maintain the open condition while reducing overall current draw.
High resistance injectors
Also referred to as saturation injectors, measure 12-16 ohms. The injector drivers for
these injectors are called saturation drivers. These drivers simply turn the supply
voltage on and off to pulse the injector. High resistance injectors typically respond
slower than low resistance injectors. High resistance injectors may sometimes be controlled Injector measures 14.3 ohm
by a peak and hold driver. The drive circuit may not reach the peak current value and therefore on voltiohm meter
not switch to the hold current. This may cause some drivers to overheat due to sustained high
current. ECU manufacturers utilize various injector drivers. You must consult Kinsler Fuel
Injection or the manufacturer regarding specific driver/injector compatibility.

CALCULATION FOR INJECTOR SIZE SELECTION
Maximum Engine output (H.P.) times Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (B.S.F.C.) at Peak Power times 1.175 (Conversion factor from
85% duty cycle to static flow) divided by number of injectors equals Static Flow required per injector. If actual B.S.F.C. value is not avail-
able, use 0.5 for normally aspirated engines operating on gasoline. Use 1.1 - 1.2 B.S.F.C. for normally aspirated methanol burning engines.
Example : 1) Small block Chevrolet V8 on gasoline. [ 500 (h.p.) X 0.5 (B.S.F.C.) ] X 1.175 / 8 = 36.7 lbs/hr
2) Big block Chevrolet V8 on methanol. [ 1100 (h.p.) X 1.1 (B.S.F.C.) ] X 1.175 / 8 = 177.7 lbs/hr
Look for an injector that has flow close to flow rate at the operating pressure and the correct resistance for your electronics.

METHANOL WITH EFI


Most EFI injectors are compatible with methanol based fuels. The problems are from the chemical affects of the methanol. Methanol
attracts water which can cause rusting of internal components. When methanol comes into contact with aluminum it corrodes the aluminum
and when it drys it turns to a ‘sand-like’ residue which can easily clog up injectors, filters, pressure relief valve, and fuel pump. The only
100% way not to have a problem is to totally flush the entire fuel system after each use with cleaning solvent or gasoline. Methanol is
extremely corrosive to aluminum components, fuel rails, fittings, etc. This aluminum oxidation also will put contamination in the fuel
system, possibly causing problems. It is highly recommended that stainless steel fuel rail be used.

FLOWING AND GROUPING


EFI injectors are not perfect out of the box. We have measured as much as 12% variation in flow rates of the same part number injector.
To obtain the best possible fuel distribution, it is advisable to have the injectors flow tested. Kinsler flows new or used injectors and can
provide the test results.
We group similar flowing injectors to minimize the spread in distribution. © 2019

are likely to open when there is a high or low local pressure...
this causes very significant cycle to cycle rich and lean conditions to the

system has run a little, because the return fuel absorbs more air as it falls

fluctuations, affecting the fuel delivery to individual cylinders.
Dampening the pressure pulses in the fuel rail can improve the fuel
Blue anodized with distribution. Group-Fire systems fire more than one injector at a
optional 6 AN male time cause the highest pressure pulsing due to a large instantaneous
flare fitting demand for fuel. Sequentially timed systems, opening one injector
at a time, creates a smaller instantaneous demand, thus lower
pressure fluctuations.

SENSORS FOR EFI SYSTEMS
All sensors are not created equal! There are different types, styles, and quality. Similar models
may have different resistance values or response times. Most ECU’s must use specific sensors.
A few select ECUs offer the ability to be programmed for operation with various sensors.
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
An air temperature sensor is a thermistor which monitors air temperature via a change in resis-
tance. This sensor should be mounted where the incoming air will pass across the sensor tip.
This sensor, when installed in the intake manifold, may be referred to as a M.A.T. (Manifold
Air Temperature) sensor.

#10652 #10653
COOLANT AND OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A coolant or oil temperature sensor is a thermistor which monitors coolant or oil temperature via
a change in resistance. This sensor should be installed in the cooling system where the coolant
will pass across the sensor tip. Thermostat housing areas on water cooled engines usually
provides a good location. Be sure to install the sensor on the engine side of the thermostat, so it
will sense the temperature as the engine is warming up... since the ECU needs accurate readings
to properly meter the fuel during warm up.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (I.A.C.) MOTOR installed
A computer controlled motor, of either step or screw design. The idle air motor bypasses
air around the throttles to control engine idle RPM during warm-up or when the engine
is under a load near idle, as when in gear with a torque converter. When the ECU senses
that engine RPM is too low, the I.A.C. motor opens the bypass port allowing additional
air flow to the engine. #10663 #5198

10664 remote I.A.C. housing was specially designed for use on engines equipped with
centrifugal blowers or turbochargers where the controlled air passage must be
sealed in the air stream at the throttle inlet to prevent boost leakage
KNOCK SENSOR
Works like an electronic microphone, listening for sound (vibration)
that represents spark knock or pre-ignition. The sensor produces an
AC signal that increases with the intensity of detected knock. This al-
lows the ECU to retard timing This sensor is NOT used on most racing
and high performance engines because the engines generally produce
too much mechanical noise knock sensor control circuits can be ad- #10664 with #10660
justed to ignore the engines mechanical sounds, however this reduces
it’s ability to accurately detect knock

SENSORS FOR EFI SYSTEMS
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (M.A.P.) SENSOR
May be used either as a barometric sensor, (compensates for atmospheric pressure
change), or a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor, depending on how the engine
management system is configured. This sensor may be remote mounted and connected
to the wiring harness or it may be mounted inside the ECU and may require external
plumbing. The ECU powers the MAP sensor via a fixed 5-volt supply, and the sensor
sends a variable 0-5 volt signal back proportional to the absolute pressure. When used
for manifold pressure/vacuum the unit is sensing relative engine load. A high vacuum
(low absolute pressure reading) indicates to the ECU that the engine is experiencing
less load, therefore requiring less fuel. As the absolute pressure reading increases, the
ECU would increase the pulse time to the injectors, therefore suppling more fuel.

VACUUM SIGNAL JUNCTION BLOCK AND COMPONENTS


Vacuum signal junction block for collecting vacuum/boost signal on individual
throttled runner manifolds. This junction block system is constructed with fittings
and tubing to provide a good signal response while also minimizing excess air bleed
which causes idle RPM control problems. See Page #140 for vacuum/boost reference
kits and components.

SIGNAL DAMPER
The strong intake pulses on a tuned I.R. manifold along with a high
performance or racing camshaft will create fluctuations in the signal
sensed by the MAP sensor. The Kinsler signal damper will smooth
out the signal pulsing. This is accomplished by flowing the signal
across an orifice and into the accumulated volume within the damper.
Note: transient signal amplitude may be slightly reduced.

SENSORS FOR EFI SYSTEMS
EXHAUST GAS OXYGEN (EGO)
Installed in the exhaust system, this generates a low voltage signal (usually 0-5 volts) relative to the oxygen
in the exhaust, which is proportional to the engine’s instantaneous air-fuel ratio.
This allows the ECU to adjust the fuel to maintain a proper air-fuel ratio.
HOW IT WORKS :
The inside and outside of the ceramic body of the sensor is coated with a thin layer of zirconium/platinum
which serve as electrodes. The inside surface is exposed to ambient air while the outside surface is exposed
to exhaust gas. The difference in oxygen concentration between the exhaust gas and the ambient air results
in a voltage differential between the two surfaces. This voltage serves as a measure of oxygen in the exhaust.
The ceramic body of the sensor becomes conductive for oxygen ions starting at or above 572o Fahrenheit
(300o Celsius). Sensor response time below this temperature is measured in seconds, while response time
at the ideal temperature of 1112o Fahrenheit (600o C) is less than 50 milliseconds (ms). Some sensors have
heater circuits to aid in quickly raising the sensor temperature to operating levels. Most production sensors
operate only in a narrow band close to stoichiometric (14.7:1 air-fuel ratio). These sensors are used for fuel- #10673
ing corrections when the engine is at light load.
Some special sensors, like part #10672, operate through a wide band of air-fuel ratios. Wide band sensors
may respond much quicker, allowing fuel corrections to be safely performed on an engine operating at wide
open throttle. Most aftermarket ECU’s that can use this type of sensor will read
air-fuel ratios from 10:1 through 17:1. Very special units can monitor air-fuel ratios from 6:1 through 60:1
either with a custom configured ECU or laboratory test equipment. #10435

EFI PLUMBING
FUEL RAIL BASICS
We recommend that EFI injectors be plumbed
using fuel rails, rather than individual hoses. The
instantaneous opening and closing of the injectors
causes large pressure pulses in the system. This
pulsing can be dampened by common fuel plenums
(rails), a high quality pressure relief valve, and/
or a specially designed damper (see Page #143).
Pressure spikes can cause poor fuel distribution
and in severe cases lean conditions which can
damage the engine.
Two types of fuel rail material :
1) Aluminum - low cost and easy to machine.
2) Stainless steel - for use with alcohol and
nitro.
See EFI FUEL RAILS on Pages #141-143 and
TOOLING TO MACHINE FUEL RAILS
AND INJECTOR MOUNTING on Page #144.

PARALLEL PLUMBING SERIES PLUMBING


TYPES OF FUEL RAIL PLUMBING
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
PARALLEL :
Parallel plumbing is done by teeing the feed hose from the pump into both fuel rails, then connecting the two outlets to
the pressure relief valve, see Fig 1. This gives twice the flow capacity of series plumbing. It also reduces the fuel
velocity in the rail when compared to series plumbing. If the fuel velocity is too high it may cause flow disturbance in
the fuel rails. A parallel configuration is recommended to achieve the best cylinder to cylinder distribution.
SERIES :
Series plumbing is done by feeding fuel into one rail, then out to the other rail, then to the pressure relief valve, see
Fig. 2. This configuration has inherent fuel supply problems for the last cylinders in the series. This is most apparent
on a Group Fire type of EFI system since the injectors are fired in groups of 4 or 8 (on a V8 engine) causing a high
demand in an instantaneous period of time. This plumbing method is NOT recommended on high horsepower engines.
SYSTEM PRESSURE
We prefer to operate our EFI systems at about 70 PSI rather than the typical 45 PSI, as we find slightly better power and economy and less
sensitivity to pressure fluctuations. A 1 PSI fluctuation affects a 45 PSI system more than a 70 PSI system: see ORIFICE THEORY on
Pages #202-203. Sometimes system cost prohibts running the higher pressures.
Fuel pressure reading should be taken as close as possible to the center of the fuel rail. This provides an average pressure reading. If the
pressure gauge is installed before filters, tees, etc., the pressure gauge will read higher pressure than there really is in the rails, due to the
pressure drop across these components.
FILTRATION
Pleated 10-micron paper filter elements ( see FUEL FILTERS on
Pages #162-166) in this system are very fine, so they do an excel-
lent job of cleaning the fuel, but this means they plug up quickly.
Replace them after about every twenty hours of racing when
operating on gasoline or every race event when using methanol.
It is an excellent idea to use one of our large 45 micron filters to
filter the fuel when filling the main tank. This will greatly extend
the life of the elements in the system. Be extremely careful to
keep water out of the tank as it swells the paper elements shut.

VACUUM/BOOST REFERENCE
The pressure relief valve should be referenced to vacuum and/
or boost. This will help offset the manifold absolute pressure
on the outlet of the injector to maintain a constant injector
flow rate (see EFI PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES AND
ACCESSORIES on Pages #134-135, Fig. 2).

plumb the pressure relief valve back 10 MICRON
to the top of the main tank. So why use the VST? ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
(STARTING)
1) Gasoline is a mixture of many types of hydrocarbons,
some of which boil off at just above room temperature.
VAPOR SEPARATOR TANKS; PAGES #115-118
It is common for some boiling to occur inside a warm fuel tank and fuel lines. The vapor bubbles produced
won’t become liquid again when the main pump pressurizes the fuel... they will become smaller, but they will
still be there. When these reach the injectors they cause an erratic lean condition. !
The VST has a special baffle system to separate out the vapor coming into it from both the main tank and the Vapor
pressure relief valve. This vapor is collected in a chamber that is connected to the top center fitting on the tank,
where it passes out to the main tank via the backpressure valve. This insures that the final supply pump(s) will Separator Tank
receive vapor free fuel. MAXIMUM
2) This system has two “flow loops” : PRESSURE
A - The fuel from the main tank flows through the 45 micron filter into the transfer pump, which pushes IS 15 PSI
it into the VST If the engine isn’t running, all of this fuel passes out through the top center fitting
and back to the top of the main tank via the “backpressure” valve. This valve is set at about five PSI on EFI systems to
keep the VST pressurized, both to prevent boiling in the VST and cavitation of the main fuel pump, which would
produce vapor.
B - To start the engine, turn “on” the electric transfer pump. Leave the transfer pump “on” whenever the engine is running.
After the fuel pressure in the VST comes up to about 5 PSI, turn “on” the electric starting pump. Fuel will flow to the 10
micron filter, while the check valve on the outlet of the mechanical fuel pump prevents fuel from passing back through
the clearances of the pump gears. All of the fuel is routed through the fuel rail, to purge out any vapor bubble that
formed in it and the hoses during the “hot soak” since the last time the engine was shut off.
Once the engine is running, the mechanical pump is adequate to run the engine. Turn “off” the electric start-up pump. The check
valve on it’s outlet prevents the high pressure fuel from back flowing through it.
3) An excellent feature of the VST is that it allows you to use all the fuel from the main tank with no lean conditions. As the main tank runs
low, the fuel will slosh away from the pickup, letting air go through the transfer pump and into the VST where it is separated out. The 15
PSI gauge will drop close to zero under this condition, but you can still run for the pits at wide open throttle. As soon as the main system
pressure drops you must stop running at wide open throttle or engine damage will occur.
4) A mechanical pump is preferred to do the main system pressure work as it is more reliable than any electric pump and reduces the
overall system’s current draw. Current draw on an average electric pump can range from about 8-10 amps for a small block naturally
aspirated V8 gasoline system, up to 60 amps for a large turbocharged system. When engine RPM increases, the demand for fuel
volume increases. When the engine RPM decreases, the fuel demand decreases. The mechanical pump output increases/decreases
with RPM, thus following the engine requirement. An electric fuel pump provides a constant volume of fuel, even if there are changes
in engine RPM, throttle angle, and load. This volume is not needed at idle and light load conditions, causing the pressure relief valve
to work harder to maintain the proper fuel pressure (see PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES on Pages #133-136). On an EFI system, the
mechanical pump isn’t used to sense engine speed, as it is on a constant flow system.

5) Never use a “cross drilled block of metal” type angle fitting on any pump inlet hose... where
the drills intersect there is a razor sharp edge that promotes pump inlet cavitation. The best
solution is to make gentle bends with the hoses, as in the above schematic. If there is a really
tight place, use a bent tube type fitting.

EFI PLUMBING - CONTINUED -
WITH TWO ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS
AND TWO PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

NOTE:
Check out your electrical
system to be sure it will
support the ampere draw
of two pumps,
EFI management system,
ignition, radio, cooling
fan(s), etc.

PLUMBING TWO ELECTRIC PUMPS


Should the fuel demand require two pumps,
it is best to plumb them using
this schematic. Pump #1 will start and
run the engine under light load conditions.
You can wire in a separate switch to activate
each pump -- But Don’t Forget to Turn the
Second Pump ‘ON’ when operating at higher
demands. The check valve on the outlet of Pump #2
is so when Pump #1 is running and #2 isn’t, fuel will
not flow back through #2 and into the
fuel tank.

BACKUP PUMP: If you are installing a second fuel pump as an auxiliary, you will need to install a check valve on the outlet of both
fuel pumps, so no matter which pump is ‘ON’ it will not backflow through the other.

PUMP INTERNAL CHECK VALVES : some pumps have an internal check valve/ball. We have experienced some internal check
valve “sticking” on systems operating in excess of 50 PSI. It may be necessary to remove the internal check valve and install an
external valve that can handle the pressure loads without sticking. See CHECK VALVES on Page #189.

PLUMBING TWO PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES


We recommend installing two pressure relief valves on any system utilizing an electric pump(s) where the pump output exceeds
approximately 1000 lbs/hr. Using two pressure relief valves allows additional volume to be dumped off, to maintain good pressure
regulation. If only one pressure relief valve were installed, there would be excessive pressure rise in the system at low fuel demand
conditions.
MECHANICAL INJECTION PUMP WITH ELECTRIC “STARTING” FUEL PUMP SYSTEM
This provides a large volume at high rail pressure for higher horsepower applications and alternate fuels, such as methanol, ethanol,
and nitro combinations. It eliminates the high current draw associated with large or multiple electric pump installations. A mechani-
cal pump replaces electric pump #2 in the above schematic. The electric pump is used to start the engine. Once the engine is at suf-
ficient RPM, the mechanical pump will supply all the fuel and the electric pump can be shut off.

CONVERSION OF CARBURETOR
MANIFOLDS INTO FUEL INJECTION
WE CAN CONVERT YOUR EXISTING
MANIFOLD OR A NEW ONE INTO
A FUEL INJECTION UNIT.
Converting a carburetor manifold for port fuel injection can be
accomplished several different ways. Manifold availability, desired results,
and the cost effectiveness will help determine the approach to the project.
Fuel injection is the combination of an air control device and a fuel
control system. These two controls need to be thought of as two
separate things, joined together to perform a task:
Fuel Control - is done by constant flow metering, electronic engine
management (EFI), or Lucas mechanical metering. Any of these types
of fuel control can be combined with any type of air control, it is just
a matter of which is best for the application.
Air Control - is achieved by some configuration of a throttle plate style
unit(s). It can be a Enderle Birdcatcher blower hat, one or two Kinsler
4-barrel throttle bodies, a large single throttle plate unit, an old
carburetor body, or any other suitable air control device.

INSTALLATION OF A BLOWER HAT Constant flow metering with Enderle Bugcatcher


ONTO A TUNNEL RAM MANIFOLD blower hat installed on tunnel ram manifold
Certain tunnel ram manifolds (listed below), feature a top which will
allow a blower hat with the 6-71 bolt pattern/opening to bolt direct
onto the manifold. Most fabricated sheet aluminum tunnel rams are
made to accept a bolt-on flat plate. We can machine an adapter plate
to accept a blower hat. Some cast manifold
conversions require welding in between the two carburetor pads then
machining the top of the adapter to accept the blower hat.

OUT IN THE
FIRST PLACE ?
This was one of the forerunners.
This dyno development setup
consisted of a Kinsler small block
Chevrolet fuel injection manifold
with steel runner extensions and
plenum, with two Holley four
barrel carburetors.

The year... 1966. The data was very good; it went right out to one of the
major carburetor manifold manufacturers.

CONVERSION OF CARBURETOR
MANIFOLDS INTO FUEL INJECTION
INSTALLATION OF CONSTANT
FLOW FUEL INJECTION
Constant flow fuel metering - typically
the nozzle has a 1/8” NPT thread.
Most cast aluminum manifolds have
runner walls thick enough that they
can just be drilled and tapped for this
size. However, most fabricated sheet
aluminum manifold have runner walls
too thin to be drilled and tapped.
Provided there is no epoxy in the
runners, a boss can be welded into
place, then drilled and tapped.

Most manifolds do not have runner walls thick enough for injector mounting. A boss
must be “welded” or “bolted on” and then machined for the injectors. Should you wish
to do this yourself, we offer all the components and even the tooling (see Page #144 -
TOOLING TO MACHINE FUEL RAILS AND INJECTOR MOUNTING).

WHY DO YOU NEED ONE ?
An injection system that has been properly cleaned, flow tested, and
calibrated, should be good for several years of trouble free service.
There is ONE gremlin that can cut this to one day, even one minute,
perhaps even a few seconds.... DIRT. Dirt is the biggest problem with
ANY type of fuel injection system.
In years past many of the racers ran without any filter, because the ones
on the market were of such poor design that they caused more problems
than they solved. The same racers experienced many
plugged nozzles, ruined or damaged engines, and many failed to finish
a race. Since Kinsler’s introduction of properly designed high capacity
filters, it’s not worth the risk to run without one...
THE PROPER FILTER IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST DIRT RELATED

For your reference 25.4 micron is approximately 0.001” . more surface area
A Kinsler 10-micron paper pleated element will trap particles larger than 0.0004” than #9031
INSTALLATION
Consult the plumbing schematic for the type of fuel system being used and
MAKE SURE the correct type and style of fuel filter is being installed.
Fuel pump inlet: pumps are very sensitive to disturbance in the inlet hose. IT IS A MUST to have
the correct filter or it will damage the pump and/or cause problems. NEVER have return fuel going back
into the pump’s inlet hose. As fuel leaves the pressurized side of the fuel system and enters a non-pressure
area the fuel can flash vaporize, causing damage to the pump and erratic running conditions.
FOR CONSTANT FLOW SYSTEM
We recommend filtering all the fuel coming out of the pump so that all the bypass valves and the barrel valve receive filtered fuel. Do NOT
use paper element filters on this type of system: bits of the paper element from the ‘clean’ side of the filter will clog the
nozzles and/or glue on the element may dissolve in methanol causing the element to separate. Do NOT use paint strainers or
other cloth filters to fill the tank, as lint from them may plug the nozzles. Use our #5610 filter funnel (see Page #182) or a similar
metal element strainer.
FOR EFI SYSTEM
The electric fuel pumps used on EFI systems are susceptible
to dirt. Carefully read all information on fuel filters for pump
inlets. Pressure relief valves are also very susceptible to small
dirt particles. Using the proper filter and keeping it clean is very
important. EFI injectors have inlet filters with very little surface
area, which means they can not handle large amounts of dirt/
debris. Proper fuel filtration should begin at the fuel tank to 45 micron
protect the pump and the fuel system components. Mega
We offer many different fuel filters for the fuel supply system, Monster
disposable lower cost filter assemblies, or billet housings with Mesh
replaceable filter elements. We recommend, whenever possible, inlet filter,
to filter the fuel before it enters the tank. Road vehicles with Weldon
electric fuel pumps should have a filter to protect the fuel pump. pump, 10
micron
FOR LUCAS MECHANICAL SYSTEM Monster
Mesh
Due to the extremely tight tolerance in the Lucas equipment outlet filter
there are several filters throughout the system. Mechanical on
pump inlet, main hose from the pump to metering unit, 4-barrel
metering unit inlet fitting, and on each injector. A Lucas throttle
system MUST be kept 100% clean. The smallest dirt particle body
can mean disaster. system

SHUT-OFF VALVES
USAGES
Typically used to shut off an engine with constant flow fuel metering. On this type of system it is not wise to shut off the ignition to stop
the engine. After killing the ignition system, the engine “winds down”, and the mechanical fuel pump which is still turning pumps fuel
into the engine. A shut-off valve allows the operator to shut off the engine cleanly; prolonging engine component life, ease in restarting,
and reduces oil dilution. It also aids in obtaining reliable spark plug readings.
DO NOT USE a shut-off to stop fuel flow to a pump that is
rotating. The fuel lubricates the pump, shutting off the
fuel could cause damage to the pump. A shut-off can be
used to allow the servicing of a pump inlet filter,

DO NOT INSTALL a shut-off that will “dead head” the
pump. Always be sure that an adequate flow path back
to the tank is available.

SHUT-OFF MOUNTING
When mounting a shut-off valve be sure that the valve itself and the link-
age\cable\etc. has plenty of room for operation.
Always take into consideration the movement of parts under torque
stress, or vibration, such as body panels, hood, suspension, etc.

main bypass and the high speed bypass, thus avoiding
excessive fuel pump pressure. Since excess pressure
can ruin a fuel pump instantly, it is always best to pull
the shut-off at low RPM or install a relieving type
shut-off, (normally called a 3-way shut-off).

B) When the engine is shut off, the fuel in the


hoses and filter absorbs heat and expands.
Mounting the shut-off at the barrel valve
will force the expanding fuel back toward
the tank rather than into the engine.
If the shut-off is mounted with a threaded fitting, do not screw
any other item to the valve.... under typical engine vibration the
additional weight may tend to fatigue the fitting that mounts the
valve and cause it to break.

TYPES OF SHUT-OFF VALVES #6350 shut-off
Mechanical valve - spool type and seal assisted ball.

Spool Type
Acceptable for internal sealing when in good condition. The spool rotates inside
a housing without the aid of any seals to prevent leakage around the spool. Typi-
cally smaller in size than the seal assisted ball type valve. The fit of the spool to
the housing is critical, a worn spool or housing will allow excessive amount of
leakage through the valve assembly. This may allow the engine to continue to
run, or fuel to leak past the valve when the engine is not running.

Ball Type - Seal Assisted


Excellent for internal sealing. The ball rotates on a large sealing surface
stopping the flow of liquid on the inlet and outlet. A spring loaded seal
on both sides of the ball prevents leakage around the ball. While this style
is more difficult and costly to manufacture it is the valve of choice due to Spool
it’s positive shut off.

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP
PUMP OUTPUT
In theory, a mechanical pump’s
output is linear to the RPM at
which it is driven. Rotate the
pump shaft twice as fast and the
flow will double. However, even
a good pump is affected by the
physical clearances of the gears
and the pressure load against the
outlet. Typically the flows at
very low RPM and very high Running clearance is a must for the
RPM will be below the linear pump gears. This clearance causes
graph of the pump’s output due some internal leakage back past the
to internal leakage, pumping gears and has the same effect as a
friction losses, and clearance in bypass from the pump outlet back to
the components. the inlet.
GENERAL SIZING AND SERVICE
Engine displacement, volumetric efficiency, and the fuel being used will dictate the required pump displacement size. If you have a doubt
about the size of your pump, note the number stamped on it and give us a call. Several pumps are assembled using the same size hous-
ing, so the casting number located on the housing does not indicate the exact pump displacement. Most pumps are identified by the serial
number stamped on it.
Most pumps experience wear over a period of time. To maintain engine performance on a fuel system where the pump is losing flow out-
put, the main jet has to be continually richened. If the main jet is not richened, the top end performance will drop off. If a problem is not
found after thoroughtly checking other engine components (especially valve springs, cam lobes, and ignition), the pump should be sent in
for testing.
We can test and rebuild many types of pumps. To have a pump tested, send it in with all of the fittings still in it.
Include a day and evening time telephone number with the area code..... a technician will call if there is a problem.

MECHANICAL PUMP INSTALLATION
Constant flow injection systems sense two engine conditions to meter the fuel. The first is engine speed, which is achieved by using fuel
pump speed... the faster the engine runs, the more fuel the pump delivers. The second is throttle angle, which is achieved by the barrel
valve... as the throttles are opened, the linkage to the barrel valve rotates the spool toward full open from the partially closed off position
that it had at an idle.
Because the fuel pump is an integral part of the metering system, it must be kept in good condition.
The pump requires careful installation and maintenance to prevent premature deterioration and/or failure.
IMPORTANT FUEL PUMP NOTES
1) The pump must be primed before rotating the engine over, as the
fuel lubricates the pump. If the pump is not going to be operated
for an extended period of time, squirt some oil into it and turn it
several revolutions.
2) The fuel pump moves a large volume of fuel. Any restriction in
the pump inlet hose may cause cavitation.
To prevent pump inlet cavitation:
A) Mount the pump as low as possible, this allows for
easier pump priming and better fuel supply conditions.
B) Mount the tank as high and close to the pump as possible.
The far-forward tank location often used in early rear engine
dragsters is NOT ideal; it would be better to locate the tank just in front of the engine, which will reduce the required
inlet hose length.
C) Do not use a filter on the pump inlet. Strain the fuel as the tank is filled, to protect the pump from large pieces of dirt.
If a filter is going to be used on the pump inlet, it must have a large surface area to prevent any restriction.
D) Keep the fuel in the tank cool... a good way is to wrap a wet towel (white, to reflect heat) around the tank and keep it
wet. The evaporating water will keep the fuel cooler than the surrounding temperature.
E) Keep heat away from the fuel pump (exhaust pipes, hot air
from the radiator, coolant system hoses, etc.). For oval track
and road racing, duct cool air over the pump.
F) Be sure that the tank is properly constructed and vented....
See FUEL TANK on Pages #179-180.
G) Be sure that the pump inlet hose and fittings meet the
minimum sizes in the table on Page #102.
3) Index the pump so that an angled inlet fitting is NOT required
(angled fittings on the pump outlet are permissible). It is OK to
drill new holes in the pump flange or the mounting surface to
re-index the pump. our model KW fuel pumps have a swivel flange
for easy indexing.
4) For front cover drives, check the hex drive spud (attached to the
front of the cam) for radial run-out: .015” maximum allowed. On
belt drive units, mount the drive bracket in a vise, lathe, or vertical
mill to check for radial run-out.
5) Check the radial alignment of the pump to the hex drive spud. Due to
manufacturing tolerances, many front covers do not locate the pump in
exact alignment. If not, file the holes for the bolts that secure the cover
to the engine to align the pump with the spud.
Two ways to check alignment :
A) Attach a dial indicator to the spud with the cover in place and check
the run-out to the pump pilot hole in the cover.
B) Make an alignment tool: machine a 3/4” thick round piece with an
OD the same as the ID of the front cover, and with a concentric ID
.015” larger than the drive spud O.D. It should easily slip into the
front cover with the cover and spud in place on the engine.
6) Check hex engagement, male to female. It should be 3/8” minimum, but
be sure that the pump hex doesn’t bottom out in the spud, as this will
quickly ruin the pump. A minimum of .100” clearance is recommended
from the end of the male hex to the bottom of the female.
7) Any time the pump is removed, inspect the drive spud and replace it if
worn. Grease the pump hex when installing it.
8) Most belt drive kits mount the fuel pump at about the water pump height. It is ideal to modify the kit to mount the pump as
low as possible... we stock belts with various lengths, check available sizes (see Page #177) as you setup your pump drive.
The pump should be setup to run one-half of engine speed. NOTE : Use the same above procedures to check the run out
on the belt drive spud.

PRIMER SYSTEM
Excellent for Constant Flow Injection systems,
to assist in starting the engine.

Driver can prime engine from drivers seat.


Ideal for the racer who is traveling alone.
Safer - NO squirt bottle.
PRIMER SYSTEM
Kits consist of necessary components to properly install the primer pump.
Hose and hose ends are NOT supplied in kit, since plumbing is unique to
each installation, available separately, see Page #187.

This system reduces the cranking required by purging the air out of the fuel plumb-
ing, especially on initial “fire up” for the day’s racing. Great for mechanical pump
#6065 Primer System lubrication during initial cranking and starting. This system can be plumbed with
gasoline from an auxiliary tank on those applications where methanol is used and
hard starting is experienced, especially in cold weather.

FUEL TANK CONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION
LOCATION
When mounting the fuel tank for a mechanical fuel injec-
tion system, DO NOT locate the maximum fuel level in
the tank above the nozzles. This is to prevent the fuel
from draining into the engine if the fuel shut-off valve is
left open.... this is not a problem in an EFI system as the
injectors shut off tight when the engine is not running.

FILTER BETWEEN TANK AND PUMP


We strongly encourage CAUTION when using any filter on
the inlet side of any pump. A filter can restrict the flow if
the pump has to suck the fuel through the filter, the vacuum
it has to pull to do it lowers the fuel’s boiling point and may
cause inlet cavitation. It is always best to strain the fuel
when putting it into the tank and use a Kinsler filter between
the pump and the barrel valve. If you want to use a filter
before the pump, have a Kinsler technician spec a proper
Kinsler Monster Mesh filter.
SHUT-OFF VALVE
NEVER shut off the flow to the pump above idle speed; it may cause damage, since the fuel lubricates the pump. If a shut-off is
installed to give access to a pump inlet filter, make sure the inside diameter of the shut-off valve and any adapter fittings have the
proper inside diameter. See Page #102 for minimum inlet hose sizes.

FUEL CELLS AND/OR BLADDERS

Due to the design of these types of fuel tanks, it may not be pos-
sible to install any baffles. The best thing to do is to fill the tank
with a fuel compatible foam baffle material.
CAUTION - The foam MUST be compatible with the fuel
and additives that may be used. If the foam breaks down, it will Make a slit in the side of the tank. Slide a
clog the fuel system. Even if the manufacturer states that the .050” to .125” thick plate into the slit so it

FUEL TANK
CONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION
VENT SIZES
The tank MUST have a vent. Large amounts of fuel volume are being removed from the tank. This volume must be replaced or a
vacuum may be formed inside the tank, causing the fuel to be ‘locked’ inside. Scenario - a straw in a drinking glass: put a finger on the
end of the straw and lift it out of the liquid; the straw retains the liquid until the finger is removed and allows air in.
NOTICE : Fuel tank and cell manufacturers may NOT offer a tank that is properly configured for your application.
Too large of a vent will not hurt anything, too small may cause the pump to cavitate, resulting in an inconsistent fuel supply or damaged
engine parts. Remember when altering a vent by adding length (hose), installing a roll-over valve, or a filter, the vent may require a larger
inside diameter (see ORIFICE THEORY on Pages #202-203).

For pump sizes of -00 up to -1 3/8” (.375”) inside diameter or bigger


MINIMUM ALLOWABLE TANK VENT SIZES: For pump sizes of -2 up to -4 1/2” (.500”) inside diameter or bigger.
For pump sizes of -5 or bigger 3/4” (.750”) inside diameter or bigger.
Please consult your rule book/sanctioning body for additional requirements.

NOTE: When running multiple pump systems multiply the area of the above vent sizes by the quantity of fuel pumps.

OUTLET OF THE TANK


The outlet of the tank or cell should be at the lowest point on the tank/cell. It is best if the main feed hose to the fuel pump runs down from
the tank to the pump, NOT UP. Fuel pumps are not designed to draw fuel, they are meant to be gravity fed. Pumps will pull fuel because
of the fuel siphon due to displacement.

FITTING FOR OUTLET OF THE TANK

Bore the inside diameter (I.D.) of the tank outlet and pump inlet fittings as
large as possible without unduly weakening the fitting. Chamfer the fitting
on the tank outlet as shown at the right.

Kinsler hard-anodized fittings are designed like this, see FITTINGS on


Page #183.

NEVER use a “drilled block of metal” type angle fitting on


ANY pump inlet hose... where the drills intersect there is a razor
sharp edge that promotes pump inlet cavitation. The best solu-
tion is to make gentle bends with the hoses. However, if there is
a really tight place, use a bent tube type hose end fitting.

LIQUID BOILING VERSUS BAROMETER AND TEMPERATURE


This subject is very complex, we are only going to discuss it in very general terms.
There are many chemistry books, scientific papers, and web sites that can help
further the understanding of this topic.

The boiling point of a liquid is affected by temperature and absolute pressure. Absolute
pressure takes into consideration altitude. The temperature at which the vapor pressure
of the liquid exceeds the pressure around the liquid is the boiling point. At temperatures
below the boiling point, evaporation takes place only from the surface of the liquid; during
boiling, vapor forms within the body of the liquid. As the vapor bubbles rise through the liquid,
they cause the turbulence and the conditions that are associated with boiling. When the pressure
against a liquid is increased, the boiling point goes up. When the pressure on a liquid is reduced,
the boiling point goes down.

The lowest boiling point is that of helium, -4520F (-268.90C). The highest is probably that
of tungsten, about 10,6500F (59000C).
Water is generally 2120F at one standard atmosphere pressure (29.92” Hg).

SAFETY WIRE
Safety wire is commonly used to provide additional security so that a bolt or nut can’t back
off. It has many other uses: holding something up, holding something out of the way,
holding two things together, anywhere wire can be used.

HOW TO USE SAFETY WIRE


To secure a nut or bolt so it doesn’t come loose, drill a diagonal hole through a point of the
nut or bolt. Install wire through hole. Bring wire together, measure wire to an item being
used as an anchor point, wire must be cut longer than this distance, when twisted length will
shorten up. Anchor point must be in the OPPOSITE direct of the rotation of the nut or bolt,

ADVANTAGES OVER INDIVIDUAL AIR CLEANERS
Using an individual air cleaner on each ramtube, can seri-
ously lower power output. This is because each cylinder
is drawing in air only about 30% of the time, and when it
does, it takes a very fast “gulp”. This instantaneous flow
rate is very high, and individual air cleaners have a small
area, so they can be restrictive. A small amount of dirt
can cause an even greater loss in air flow.
#5021 #5010
We recommend the use of an air box type filter that Metallic
covers all the ramtubes. When each ramtube takes it’s Hardware window Filter foam
“gulp” of air, it will have the entire area of foam to draw Mesh screen
air through. The foam would have to be extremely dirty 1/4” openings
before any appreciable
restriction would occur.
The air box system does not require removing the ramtube
bells, like some individual air cleaners do.
The bells should NOT be removed, as this causes
appreciable power loss at high engine speeds.
FILTER SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
Use a large area of foam to insure maximum air flow
through the filter, while increasing its capacity to hold
dirt without becoming restrictive.

AIR FILTRATION - CONTINUED -
When building an air box filter, the top plate should be mounted a minimum of .7 x ramtube inside di-
amter above the top of the ramtubes. Example: .7 x 2.5” diameter = 1.75”. The base plate should
be sealed to the ramtubes. Leave enough room below it to adjust the barrel valve and throttle stops.
Maintain a minimum of 1 1/2” from the straight part of the ramtubes to the sides of the filter ele-
ment.
For dirt track racing we recommend that you construct a sheet metal shield that mounts about 1 1/2”
from the outside of the element, like an upside-down box. This will deflect dirt thrown by the tires.

In cases where it is not practical to use filter-element-sides for your air box, you can construct the air
box using sheet metal sides and duct filtered air from a remote filter via large diameter flexible tubing.
Oiling the foam will increase it’s effectiveness in trapping fine dirt. Use K&N oil (Kinsler #5043) or
about 1 tablespoon of 10W oil per square foot of foam. Put the oil on the foam
and then wring the element until the oil is evenly distributed. DO NOT OVER OIL !!!
To clean the filter foam, use a non-flamable water based cleaning solution that cuts oil: water with dish soap, Kinsler #5042
K&N air filter cleaner, etc. Thoroughly dry the foam before reinstalling, then re-oil it.

CARBURETORS
Our filter foam is excellent for use with carbs. It can be used to
construct a replacement for your original element, or you can use
it to build a custom air filter system.

WHY YOU NEED TO MEASURE AIR DENSITY
The power output of an engine is directly related to the density of the air that it consumes.
Air density is mainly affected by barometric pressure and air temperature.
Each time a piston goes down in your engine, it draws in the same volume of air, but the weight of that volume will vary from
day to day. If the atmospheric pressure increases (higher barometer), the air becomes compressed slightly... denser. If the
temperature cools, the air shrinks slightly, which also makes it denser. The denser air makes the same volume weigh more, so
more power will be produced.
The challenge is to measure the density change so the correct adjustment to the fuel rate can be made to keep a proper air-fuel
mixture... best power is obtained with just the right mixture... richer or leaner gives less power. For gasoline this ratio is about
twelve pounds of air to one pound of fuel, or 12:1.
Since neither mechanical injection nor carbs automatically change the fuel rate when the air density changes, the fuel system
needs to be re-jetted to keep the mixture correct.
If density increases but the fuel is not increased, the mixture will be lean. This will cause a power loss and could damage the
engine. Adding fuel to get the proper mixture will give us a power increase.
Lower air density can hurt power output in two ways. Example : the car was running good; the air density was 96%
and the vehicle was jetted just right. Now the air density has dropped to 87%, a loss of 9%. See “UNDERSTANDING
PERCENTAGE” on Page #194.
1) Since there is 9% less air to burn, there has to be a 9% loss of power... there is no way of correcting anything
to get that back. Of course, if the engine is supercharged or turbocharged, adjusting the overdrive or
wastegate is a way to compensate.
2) Even though there was a loss of 9% of air density, the constant flow metering system doesn’t sense it, so it
puts in the same amount of fuel as it did before. This makes the mixture too rich, which costs about another
5% of the power, making the total loss 14% (9% + 5%)!!! If the fuel system is leaned out to the proper air/
fuel ratio, the 5% will be recovered, so there is only the 9% basic loss.
Everyone at the track will be affected the same way. It’s just a matter of who can properly adjust for it.
HOW DOES THE AIR DENSITY GAUGE WORK
The gauge has a metal bellows with air sealed inside. Higher atmospheric pressure
compresses the bellows and moves the needle higher. Cooler temperature shrinks the air
in the bellows, which pulls the bellows together and also moves the needle higher. Thus
the gauge will give one needle reading to show the affect of atmospheric pressure and
temperature change on the air density.
CALIBRATION The gauges we calibrate are done to read 100% at 59oF and 29.92
IS OPTIONAL inches of mercury pressure (by international agreement, these are the
conditions for one standard atmosphere, STP). Some brands of gauges
are calibrated differently, and some gauges get abused, so they will
read differently than yours. Use only your gauge to take readings!

It doesn’t matter if two gauges don’t read exactly the same, since the readings are rela-
tive.... as long as you use the same gauge you should get good results. If you have a
problem with your gauge we can test and possibly repair it.

AIR DENSITY GAUGE - CONTINUED -
CAUTION
All weather broadcasts and weather maps give barometer readings corrected to sea level
(zero altitude), so that high and low pressure weather fronts across the country can be
compared regardless of the altitude of the weather station. Example: Denver, Colo-
rado reads 24.00” on their barometer, but they are 5,000 feet above sea level, which
causes a 5.02” lower pressure, so they broadcast a 29.02” reading (24.00 + 5.02).
To do proper calculations you must use the actual reading of the location you are
at. The best way to do this is to have your own air density gauge. If you don’t
have a gauge, you could obtain a barometer reading from a nearby airport (which
will always be corrected to seal level), then corrrect it back to your altitude by
subtracting 1.0” for each thousand feet

AIR DENSITY GAUGE READING PROCEDURE


1) The gauge must be pulled up out of the foam of the
carrying case and placed in a shaded area. Do
NOT hold the gauge in your hand, or place it
inside the vehicle, or let sunlight fall directly on
it, as all of these will artificially warm the gauge.
Let the gauge sit for several minutes to stabilize
before taking a reading.
2) Find the best jet for the day. Record the air density
and jet size. The vents on the sides
3) The next race day, observe the readings of the air density of the gauge must be

gauge. If it reads higher than before, go to a richer jet...
exposed for a proper
this would be a smaller jet for a fuel injection unit, or a larger jet reading. See 1) above.
for a carburetor.
4) After just a few days of racing you will have established a chart for the
jetting requirements versus the air density. Any time after that, merely observe the reading of
the air density gauge, refer to the chart, and select the jet for the prevailing conditions. You should
always try one richer and one leaner jet.
NOTE : Humidity has a very small affect... it can be neglected on an average day. If the humidity
is very high (80-90%) go about 2% leaner, if it is very low (10-20%) go about 2% richer.
ALTERNATE PROCEDURE
This procedure will give the same results as the one above, but will take only
one racing day to determine a baseline for making future jet changes:
1) and 2) Same as above.
3) The next race, observe the air density. Calculate the percent change in the air density.
Example On the first day, air density was observed to be 94%
On the second day, air density was observed to be 86%
PERCENT: NEW A.D. - OLD A.D.
X 100 = percent (%) 86 - 94 X 100 = -8 X 100 = -.085 X 100 = -8.5%
CHANGE : OLD A.D. change 94 94

Note that the sign is (-) because the air density has decreased; go to a leaner main jet. If the sign is (+) the air
density has increased and go to a richer main jet. A high reading on the gauge means that there is an increase in
density.
4) Go to the table on the next page and find your application. Go across in the table until coming to the
per cent change that is closest to what has been calculated. Change the main jet by the amount shown
in the column heading.
Example - Running an unblown gas engine, 427 cubic inches, -1 fuel pump. Under the “Unblown Gas” heading, use the
“402-520” line, -1 pump. Go across to the percentage that is closest to the one calculated above: 8.5%. The 9.0% figure is
closest, so go .010” leaner (larger on fuel injection) on the main jet.
UNDERSTANDING PERCENTAGE
One whole item of anything is 100% of it. 9% of an apple is 9/100 or .09 of it. Rather than saying 9/100
or .09 of the apple, it is much easier to say 9%. To make any fraction into a %, move the decimal point two
places to the right, thus .09 becomes 9%.
© 2019
Example: 1/2 of something is .50 of it or 50% 1/8 of something is .125 or 12.5%

UNDERSTANDING SPECIFIC GRAVITY (sp gr)
The sp gr of any substance is its weight compared to an
equal volume of water. Since water is used as the
reference, it was given a sp gr of 1.0 At 68 deg F
(20 deg C) water weighs 8.330 pounds per gallon;
62.32 pounds per cubic foot.
Examples:
1. Gasoline with a sp gr of .740 is 74% of the
density of water.
2. What is the weight of a gallon of gasoline with
.740 sp gr at 68 deg F? .740 x 8.330 = 6.16pounds
3. What is the weight of a gallon of methanol with .792 sp gr
at 68 deg F? .792 x 8.330 = 6.60 pounds
The second and third example above are valid at about room temperature, but #6015 Complete
keep in mind that as any substance is heated it expands, so the specfic gravity of any kit plus air density
liquid decreases (weighs less per gallon) as its temperature increases. Because of this, sp gr
must always be referenced to some standard temperature. Each of our hydrometer kits contains gauge. Has easy
a temperature correction table so you can read the sp gr of your fuel at any temperature, then procedure sheet
correct it to any standard temperature you want to use; we like 70 deg F. If you are measuring
sp gr at about room temperature, using that reading will usually be close enough, but if it is ten
or twenty degrees hotter or cooler, you might want to use the correction tables.
WHY CHECK THE FUEL
Engines perform best in a narrow band of air-fuel ratios, determined by the weight of the air and
fuel. Since all fuel injection systems and carburetors meter fuel by volume, a jet change must be
made if the sp gr of the fuel changes significantly. This change is to adjust the volume to keep
the weight of the fuel going to the engine the same. Example: if the sp gr of the fuel increases
4%, then the volume injected must be decreased 4% to keep the weight going to the engine the
same.
Many race tracks and sanctioning bodies use our Fuel Analyzer Kit to spot-check the
sp gr of the racers’ fuel, to see if it is consistent with the fuel that is legal at that track.

UNDERSTANDING FUELS
HOW TO CHECK THE FUEL
See detailed instructions on Pages #198-200 and supplied with fuel analyzer kit. Put enough of the liquid to be
tested in the glass cylinder to allow the hydrometer to float. Hold the thermometer in the liquid so the bulb is sub-
merged but not touching any part of the glass cylinder. Carefully sight across the bottom of the meniscus and read
the hydrometer. The hydrometer MUST be floating freely, not in contact with the glass cylinder or your fingers.

OCTANE
Octane is a unit of measurement used to rate a fuels ability to resist detonation. Detonation (spark knock, ping)
is the tendency of the fuel to explode violently in the engine rather than burning smoothly. If the fuel detonates,
the pressure in the combustion chamber rises so fast and high that it is like beating on the top of the piston with
a hammer... this is a primary cause of piston, rod, and bearing failures. The higher the octane rating the higher
the resistance of the fuel to detonation. Racing gasoline is blended to provide additional octane rating, not more
energy. In fact, all grades of gasoline have about the same amount of energy per pound. Increasing the octane,
can get more power, since more compression or spark advance can be used. Note: too much octane can slow the
burn rate of the fuel causing a loss in power.
GASOLINE
There is a big difference in specific gravity between various brands and grades of gasoline, often even between
two batches of the same brand. The typical range of premium automotive pump gasoline is .730 to .760., aviation
gasoline is .680 to .720, some unleaded racing gasolines are as heavy as .790. Many blends of pump gas now
contain as much as 10% ethanol. These blends generally fall into the heavier specific gravity range.
For Example : Unocal 76 ® unleaded racing gasoline .788 @ 590F (150C).
Unocal 76 ® leaded racing gasoline .728 @ 59oF (150C).

METHANOL (ALCOHOL)
The specific gravity of pure methanol is .792 @ 68oF (200C). Methanol, methyl alcohol or wood alcohol
(CH3OH), is usually made from natural gas. It was first discovered in 1823 by condensing hot gases from the
burning of wood. It has been the fuel for Indianapolis 500 race cars since 1965. Methanol has the ability to
absorb water, even right out of the air. Keeping your fuel sealed will help prevent contamination. Adding water
to alcohol will increase the specific gravity. High levels of water contamination will cause the alcohol to normally
get cloudy. Loss of engine performance will typically occur before the contamination reaches these high levels.
Fuel should be checked with a hydrometer before using it, maybe even before you leave your supplier, just to be
sure to avoid any problems. Methanol is extremely corrosive to aluminum and magnesium, great care should be
taken to keep this reaction to a minimum. The fuel system components should be of materials that do not react
with methanol (stainless steel, brass, etc.) or should have a protective coating. Methanol crystallizes when it drys,
this dried methanol does not readily dissolve. The fuel system will need constant attention. When not in use, the
fuel should be drained out of the system. Flushing, or “pickling” with gasoline is a common practice.

ETHANOL
The specific gravity of ethanol is .815 @ 68oF (200C). Ethanol, ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol (CH3CH2OH), is a liquid derived from corn
or other grain, other agricultural products or waste. Because ethanol is corrosive (due to oxidation), the same modifications must be made
to the fuel system as methanol to protect the fuel system components.
In the 1880s, Henry Ford built one of his first automobiles - the quadricycle - and fueled it with ethanol. Early Ford Model T’s had
a carburetor adjustment that could allow the vehicle to run ethanol fuel that was produced by America’s farmers. Ford’s vision was
reportedly to “build a vehicle affordable to the working family and powered by a fuel that would boost the rural farm economy”. However,
in the past due to whatever reasons any alternative fuels other than gasoline were suppressed. Today, we are seeing the return of
alternative fuel vehicles.
NITROMETHANE
The specific gravity of pure nitromethane is 1.139 @ 60-70o F. Nicknamed ‘nitro’ is chemically CH3NO2. Pure alcohol (.792 @ 68o F) is
considerably different than nitromethane, it is easy to determine the percentage of nitromethane in alcohol by measuring the specific grav-
ity of the mixture. Adding nitro to alcohol will increase its specific gravity. A table can be set up to show the percentage of nitromethane
versus specific gravity (We supply this when a hydrometer or fuel analyzer kit is purchased).
The procedure is only slightly complicated by the fact that temperature affects the specific gravity, since any fluid expands as it is warmed,
and therefore has a lower specific gravity. For example, take a 60% mixture of nitro and alcohol and heat it, we know that it is still a 60%
mixture, yet its specific gravity is lower.
Some brands of nitro hydrometer kits are sold without correction tables. Errors of 5% are common if no temperature correction is used.
For best engine performance the nitro percent mixture should be kept within one or two percent of what the engine was tuned for.

NOTE: Mixing nitromethane creates a mild endothermic reaction, which absorbs heat from the mixture, thus cooling it
(this is the opposite of most reactions, which give off heat). The maximum affect is with about a 50% mixture, which cools
approximately 15oF.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING OBSERVED SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1) Holding the glass cylinder almost horizontal, place the hydrometer
and thermometer into it. Slowly bring the cylinder to an upright Thermometer
position while jiggling them gently to the bottom.

2) Fill the cylinder to within an inch of the top with a sample of the Hydrometer
gasoline. This will cause the hydrometer to project out of the top
for easy positioning with your fingers.

3) Place the cylinder in the shade. Meniscus

PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING JET CHANGES
cylinder.
FOR A CHANGE IN SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Since the specific gravity of a liquid decreases with a rise in it’s temperature, specific gravity
must always be referenced to a particular temperature. The accepted standard is 600F.
However, since it is not convenient to have to measure the liquid at 600F in the field, a chart has
been made up to allow the specific gravity to be measured at any temperature, and then corrected to 600F.
Example : at 900F, the specific gravity of a gasoline sample is found to be .747. Go to the chart and go down the column labeled 900F until
you find .747 . Now read the true specific gravity in the 600F column as .760.
In the procedure below, any time we refer to specific gravity, we mean corrected specific gravity... the specific gravity at 600F.
Procedure - To go from one type or batch of gasoline to a new one :
1) Measure the specific gravity of the “old” fuel, and note the jet size that worked best.
2) Measure the specific gravity of the “new” fuel.
3) Calculate the percent difference between the old fuel and the new one: New fuel specific gravity - Old fuel specific gravity
Old fuel specific gravity
EXAMPLE : A new fuel is checked as .712, old fuel is .736 .712 - .736 = -.024 = -.0326 = -3.26%
.736 .736
4) To make jetting correction :
a) For fuel injectors... Using the table below, go up or down on jet size to get the same total % change as determined in
step #3 above. Since the example was “-”, go to a richer (smaller) main jet. If it had been “+”, go to a leaner (larger)
main jet.

Percent change in fuel delivery to engine versus jet change for popular type fuel injection units, gasoline only :
Engine Displacement Pump Size K-type Jet .002” K-type jet .004” Commercial Jet .005”
302 - 402 cid -0 3.0 6.0 7.5
402 - 520 cid -1 1.8 3.6 4.5
All size blown -1 1.8 3.6 4.5

b) For carburetors... Calculate the area of the old main jets and increase or decrease them by the same percentage found in
step #3 above. Going larger on carburetor jets is richer.
[ Old jet area = (old jet area X % from step #3) ] = new jet area

Sign (+ or -) is the opposite of the sign found for the % in step #3. © 2019

SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The 0 in this chart refers to straight pure methanol (.792 sp. gr. @ 680F)
and the numbers refer to the percentage of nitromethane in methanol.
Typically the grade of methanol used for racing is not pure in the true sense.
Most is really classified as anywhere from 96 to 97% pure. There is 100% pure
methanol but it is far more costly.

If your base number is different than .792 for pure methanol then you will need to
adjust all the numbers of the chart to compensate for the difference.

the drive shaft as work, as about 1/3 goes out of the radiator as heat and about 1/3 goes out of the exhaust
pipes as heat and blow-down pressure.
Lets look at a 331 cubic inch small 648 hp @ 7800 rpm with .46 BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption)
block professional road race engine: 470 ft-lb @ 6750 rpm with .42 BSFC
Looking at our conversion chart, we know that one horsepower = 42.44 Btu
Torque From the conversion chart, hp = torque (ft-lb) x rpm = 470 x 6750 = 604 hp
5252 5252
604 hp x 42.44 Btu/min per hp = 25,634 Btu/min work done by the engine
From the conversion chart, BSFC = lb/hr fuel so lb/hr = BSFC x obs hp = .42 x 604 = 254 lb/hr
observed hp
254 lb/hr = 4.233 lb/min gasoline 4.233 lb/min gas x 18,400 Btu/lb gas = 77,887 Btu/min heat value in the gasoline
burned
Efficiency = 25,634 = 33%
77,887
Horsepower 648 hp x .46 BSFC = 298 lb/hr gas = 4.968 lb/min 4.968 lb/min x 18,400 Btu/lb = 91,411 Btu/min heat value
648 hp x .4244 Btu/min per hp = 27,501 Btu/min work done by engine
Efficiency = 27,501 = 30%
91,411

NOTE It makes sense that the engine is less efficient at the horsepower peak than the torque peak,
as the air pumping losses through the intake ports are higher at the horsepower peak.

ORIFICE THEORY
An orifice is “any hole that a fluid flows through”….both gasses and liquids. It can be any shape instead of round, with a totally rough
interior.
All fuel systems, carbs, constant flow injection, and EFI, use orifices for metering the liquid flow, so they should have very stable flow
for consistent metering. We achieve this by making them with a precise diameter and entrance radius that are very smooth, with a long
length vs the hole diameter. Even though we machine our nozzles and jets with extreme care, they don’t all flow just right because of
*
microscopic flaws. We flow virtually every piece we make at 30, 55, and 100 psi, note the errors in flow vs the master for that diameter,
then use scrapers and polishing tools to bring the flow within 1% of the master. We work on the entrance and/or the exit. Even after this
special effort, about one out of twelve pieces doesn’t conform to the master flow curve, so we discard it. We use brass because it is one of
the better metals for achieving close tolerances and a smooth finish. While this extreme attention to detail costs more, we don’t believe
you can find this quality anywhere else.
The pressure increases as the square of the flow; see the graph below: to flow 200 lb/hr takes 20 psi; to flow 400 lb/hr takes 80 psi, so to
get twice the flow takes four times the pressure. Why? If we want to flow twice as much through a fixed hole size, we will have to push
twice as many fuel particles through it at twice the velocity, so we will have to do 2 x 2 or 4 times the work. We use the pressure to do
this work.
If you want to flow more through an orifice, but keep the pressure the same, then you must use a larger orifice. The flow increases as
the area of the orifice increases. Since the area is Pi x diameter squared / 4, the area increases as the square of the diameter, so twice the
diameter is four times the area. See the area and flow vs orifice size on the next page. (Pi is 3.1416).

* We use these test pressures because 55 psi gives about 1.35 the flow as 30 psi, and 100 psi gives about 1.35 the flow as 55
psi…. we like having the flow ratios about the same. See the very bottom of this page for the formula that we use to calculate
these ratios.
THREE ORIFICE EXAMPLES BELOW
A sharp edge at the orifice entrance (middle example) causes the flow stream to converge, forming a vena contracta, which is a narrowing-
in of the flow path of the particles. The diameter of the vena contracta becomes the effective flow diameter of the hole, thus the flow is
reduced. At very low flows there is no vena contracta, while at very high flows there is a large vena contracta causing as much as a 20%
flow loss, so it varies with flow and is unstable. It is always ideal to use the “BEST” design, which we use in all of our metering pieces.
CHOKED FLOW Example: Injecting fuel into a supercharged manifold. If your nozzle pressure is 70 psi and your boost is 10 psi,
you might expect the flow to be what the nozzle is rated to flow at 60 psi. It will actually flow at a 70 psi rate, because the downstream
pressure has no affect on flow until its absolute value (gauge reading + 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure) is about ½ of the upstream absolute
pressure. To find the downstream pressure that will just start to reduce the flow when there is 70 psi upstream: 70 + 14.7 = 84.7 ½ x
84.7 = 42.3 absolute psi, – 14.7 = about 27.6 gauge psi. This is affected by fuel temperature, actual atmospheric pressure, and properties
of the fuel.

ORIFICE THEORY
UNDERSTANDING AN ORIFICE - DIAMETER VERSUS AREA
The flow of an orifice CAN NOT be interpolated by the ratio
of the diameter, an .080” diameter orifice does not flow twice
that of a .040” (see FLOW THROUGH AN ORIFICE on Page #205).
However flow can be interpolated by the ratio of the
area in square inches of an orifice.
The diameter can be converted by the formula:
(radius x radius) x 3.14159 (Pi) = area
The area of .040” is .001257 in2 and .080” is .00527 in2
(see below quick reference chart).
.005027 in2 (.080” dia.)
.001257 in2 (.040” dia.) = 3.999 ratio
So an .080” diameter orifice flows 3.999 times more than a .040” diameter orifice.
This fomula can be used for Kinsler’s electric enrichment or lean-out valve (see Pages #89 and #168 about this valve).
Example for lean-out valve; If a .116” main jet is good for the basic mid-range and .124” is best when on transbrake,
two-step, etc. You can calculate the K-jet for the lean-out by the following:

.012076 in2 (area of .124”) - .010568 in2 (area of .116”) = .001508 in2 (the difference in area of the two jets).
Go to the chart and find area close to .001508 in2 which is approximately .044”.
This is the jet to install in the lean-out valve. © 2019

MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE AND HINTS
METHANOL (ALCOHOL) IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AFTER RACING
Do not leave methanol in the system for more than two days, as it can be VERY CORROSIVE to aluminum parts, especially when it
has some moisture in it. We offer many adapter fittings and components that are hard-anodized then impregnated with a sealer to resist
corrosion by methanol. Color anodizing (usually red and blue) provides only very slight protection.
Methanol becomes a gel in it’s early stage of drying out, then becomes a white
powdery residue when it dries completely. Both of these forms of dried alcohol
will clog nozzles and fuel filters.
TWO methods for Short Term Storage:
1) Drain Method: Totally drain the fuel tank and blow out the plumbing
lines, barrel valve, nozzle lines, bypasses, fuel pump, etc. Oil the pump
lightly.
2) Gasoline Method: Drain the methanol out of the fuel tank. Put in a
couple of gallons of gasoline. Start and run engine (Note: engine will
run poorly and very rich), changing to a much larger main bypass jet will
help reduce this problem. The gasoline will mix with and flush most of
the methanol out of the system. Depending on bypass valve pressure
settings the gasoline may not blow through all of them. Leave gasoline
in system till ready to use again. Drain out gas, put in methanol, most
likely install fresh spark plugs (fouled by gasoline), and go.
MAGNESIUM MANIFOLD AND PARTS
Water and methanol (alky) are VERY CORROSIVE to magnesium. Take great Magnesium manifold runners
care not to let a magnesium manifold or parts be exposed to water or liquid methanol. heavily corroded by liquid

PROPER LONG TERM STORAGE OF AN INJECTION SYSTEM
Totally disassemble the fuel system, blow out all hoses, lines, tank, and manifold.
PUMP: Drain all the fuel. Using motor oil, fill the inlet, rotate pump over
several times, then cap.
BARREL VALVE: Blow out fuel at idle and wide open throttle, then cap
secondary port. Using motor oil fill the inlet, rotate spool
back and forth several times, add more oil, cap off inlet.
BYPASS VALVES AND FILTER: disassemble and clean.
NOZZLES: remove from manifold, then blow out.
Note: light spray oils may evaporate that is why we recommend motor oil.
NOZZLE INSTALLATION
Any time the nozzles are removed from the manifold, put some anti-seize compound (Kinsler #1920) or heavy grease on the threads
before reinstalling them. This will help prevent the nozzles from becoming seized into the casting. This is especially important on
manifolds using methanol or nitromethane, since these fuels setup a corrosive action between the brass or aluminum nozzle body and
the magnesium or aluminum casting. Do not overtighten the nozzles: NPT thread nozzles only have to be tight enough to maintain
their position and o-ring nozzles only have to be tight enough to seat the hex
and crush the o-ring.
BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION
Do NOT screw jet cans directly into the fuel pump. Engine vibration can be severe
enough that the poppet or jet may bounce off of it’s seat, causing the engine to run lean
or erratic, especially in four cylinder engines. Installing the jet can by a hose on each end
eliminates this problem; the hoses dampen the shock.
MANIFOLD AND
LINKAGE LUBRICATION
A little oil applied to the shafts and rod ends helps keep them from sticking. Apply oil on
the throttle shaft at both sides of the casting/bushing; rotate the throttle to allow the oil to
penetrate. Oil the ball section of the rod ends (heim joints). Wipe off any excess.

Do not screw jet cans directly


into the fuel pump.

MANIFOLD DESIGN
VARIABLE RESONANCE INDUCTION SYSTEM

Typical of some advanced design passenger car


manifolds in the 1990s.
THEORY
The length of the resonance tube F can be
changed by opening either valve C or D....
only one would be used .... D giving a longer
length then C.
When a cylinder takes a gulp of air and the intake valve
closes, the inertia in the air column makes the air try to keep
flowing... it compresses down against the valve, then springs
back, setting up a resonant pulsing, which can enhance or hurt
the intake pressure available to the next cylinder gulping air.
Mazda obtained a positive effect through most of the RPM
range by using the engine electronic control unit (ECU) to
close a valve like C or D up to 3000 rpm, where it opens until
5200 RPM, where it closes again.
REFERENCE SAE Technical Paper #871977
Mazda six cylinder engine development

NOTES
1) Six cylinder engines resonate stronger than eight
cylinder engines as they have three pulses that are
evenly spaced, compared to four that are unevenly
spaced.
2) Tuning effects end where the intake becomes
common, at E.

LUCAS METERING
Lucas fuel metering equipment was used on all F-1 cars from the mid 50’s to mid 70’s, and most top sports cars, including
all of the Can-Am cars of the 60’s and 70’s. Jim Kinsler started KFI in 1967... built the Lucas systems for most of the
Can-Am cars, including the factory McLaren cars made famous by the always-winning Bruce McLaren and Denny
Hulme. It is still very good for racing, as it has very precise fuel distribution at any RPM or throttle angle, and excellent
vapor handling. Lucas only made metering pieces, not complete injection systems. To make a complete system you need
a manifold, metering unit, pump, drive, fuel cam, filter, linkage, calibration, etc.
We were the North American distributor for Lucas in the 70’s and 80’s. We still have much new old stock and used
equipment for 4, 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines.
We offer a premium line of modified Lucas equipment. The parts for every metering unit, pump, and nozzle are qualified,
then assembled, and flowtested. The quality of these “Premium Race Grade” pieces is unsurpassed.
We service Lucas equipment for any application, including Ferrari, Maserati, Can-Am cars, F-1 cars, Triumph, offshore
boats, etc. We rebuild worn and seized metering units, pumps, nozzles, etc. to new specs.

LUCAS NOZZLES AND LINES
LUCAS NOZZLES
The Lucas nozzles do an excellent job of atomizing, but no fuel metering function.
The metering unit controls the volume of the fuel being injected. All the nozzles
should be set at the same opening pressure, usually 56 PSI.
We set each nozzle pressure, then thoroughly flow test it, then epoxy the adjuster
shut. The nozzle body has a 14 x 1.25 mm thread. The thread at the top for the
fuel line fitting is 1/4 BSP.

NOZZLE LINE ASSEMBLY


..... read completely before beginning.
1. Use Kinsler hardwood nozzle line gripping blocks (#9009) to hold
the tubing during installation, so that the outside will not be
marred. Use of the steel blocks that come in copper tube flaring
kits will put rings around the outside of the tubing, creating a stress
point, which may cause the tubing to fail.
2. Use only tubing from Kinsler for this application; available in
black and translucent. Other tubing may not have the strength,
I.D., proper elasticity or the resistance to gasoline required.
3. Push an amount of tubing up through the block that is .200” longer
than the total length of the barb that you wish to install.
4. Clamp the block in a vise to grip the line.... a “C” clamp can be
used in the field.
5. Put a drop of oil inside the end of the tubing, and a drop on the end #9009 - Nozzle as-
of the fitting barb.
sembly blocks
6. Start the end of the barb down into the tube by pushing and twisting
it in by hand. If this is difficult, it can be made easier by driving a
tapered punch into the end of the tubing just enough to make
starting the barb easier. DO NOT “wallow” out the end of the tube
with a nail or such, as this will damage the inside of the tube.
7. Tap the fitting into the tube with a small hammer until the line
completely covers the barb assembly. If the tube beneath the
fitting tends to kink as you tap the fitting in, there is too much line
above the block. Sometimes it is necessary to start with only a
small amount of line above the block, and then push more line up
several times as you tap the fitting in.
8. Be careful that the tube does not slip down through the block as
you tap in the fitting. If the end of the barb assembly (down inside
the tubing) passes below the top of the block, it will damage the
tubing.
9. Route the lines so that they have no sharp bends, since sharp bends
tend to kink when the tubing gets hot. Keep the tubing away from
moving parts, such as throttle linkage. Tywrap the lines together
to prevent them from vibrating when the engine is running... 900 nozzle line fitting, banjo fitting, banjo

LUCAS FUEL REQUIREMENT CURVE
The very best way to determine the proper fuel curve for any engine is to run the engine on a dyno. At each RPM, find the ideal fuel rate
to get the best torque. This is called LBT; Least fuel for Best Torque. Plot a curve of the results (see curved line below). Now fit the best
straight line curve that the Lucas gives.
To run LBT with the Lucas : Hook the fuel cam to a separate dyno “throttle” lever, rather than directly to the arm on the throttle shaft as it
normally is. Note where to put the fuel cam lever to have the cam open about like it would be if it were hooked to the throttle shaft.
Put about .010” of extra shims in the metering unit, so the unit can be made to go rich.
To run the test : Start the engine and take it to a steady RPM at part throttle, with the fuel cam open to a reasonable fuel rate, to warm it
up. Go to wide open throttle while moving the fuel cam richer. Move the lever to richen and lean the engine. Record the RPM, torque,
and fuel rate where the engine makes the best torque. It doesn’t matter where the fuel cam is indexed... it is just being used to run the LBT
test. The RPM increments are usually every 400 RPM, from the lowest to highest RPM that the engine will be run at wide open throttle
while racing.
For an 8mm 8 cylinder metering unit, divide the fuel rate at 7,000 RPM by 3.5 for the shuttle stroke that is needed in thousandths of an
inch. Check the unit with feeler gauges and add or delete shims to get the required shuttle stroke at wide open throttle, see Page #211.

ADJUSTING THE METERING UNIT
TIMING THE METERING UNIT
Proper fuel timing gives best low RPM engine torque and throttle response; it has
very little affect on high RPM horsepower.
For most engines, the best fuel timing is about 40 crankshaft degrees before top
dead center, coming up to start the intake stroke. This timing usually works well,
but another setting may be better for a given application. No harm will result from
trying other timings.
If the engine builder specifies a certain timing, start with that, but you might try
others......
To time the engine at 40 degrees before top dead center coming up to
start the intake stroke:
1. Rotate the crankshaft until it is 40 degrees before top dead center, coming
up to start the intake stroke.
2. Remove the #1 nozzle line banjo bolt from the metering unit (be very
careful when reinstalling it as it cross threads easily).
3. With the right angle drive unit removed from the engine, rotate the drive
gear on the bottom in the running direction until the ports in the rotor and
the bronze sleeve of the metering unit full line up.
4. When reinstalling the drive unit in the engine, try to mesh the drive gear
to the cam so that it will keep this fuel timing. It is not critical to be exact.

TO MAKE SMALL MIXTURE CHANGES


The fuel cam on the top of the metering unit pivots on an eccentric marked “R” and “L” .
The idea of this design was that by pushing the shaft out against the spring and rotating it so
that the “R” moves toward the peg, the unit runs richer. One notch is supposed to equal .001”
shim change.

NOTE -- DO NOT USE THIS .......


We have found that these pieces are often not indexed properly
as Lucas made them... it may cause an improper adjustment.
Use only the shims to make any mixture adjustment unless
you carefully check the functionality of this piece.

GENERAL METERING UNIT SETTINGS


These are average settings for Amercian V8 2-valve gasoline engines using a Lucas
8-cylinder metering unit with 8mm shuttles. If your engine is more powerful than the
average race engine, it will need more shuttle stroke (fuel rate).

ADJUSTING THE METERING UNIT
TO MAKE LARGE MIXTURE CHANGES
Remove the four nuts securing the top of the metering unit and remove it.
Adding shims makes the unit richer (moves fuel cam farther from lifter).
A .002” shim change will usually take care of a large change in atmo-
spheric conditions.
SETTING IDLE FUEL RATE
Note : The “idle” fuel rate should be set for best throttle response
as you quickly open the throttles; not for a smooth
nonsmoking idle. The Lucas unit does not have an
“accelerator pump shot”, so the idle must be rich to
compensate for this.
1. Start the engine and synchronize the throttle blades by
using a Uni-syn air flow meter.

2. To richen the idle fuel rate, adjust the hex link to the cam to
move it in the direction it moves as you open the throttles.
TURNBUCKLE VERSUS SHIM AND
ECCENTRIC FUEL RATE CHANGES
If a wide open throttle fuel rate change is made by changing shims or using the eccentric pin, it
will affect the idle fuel rate since the shuttle travel at the idle position will also be changed by the
same amount. Reset the idle fuel rate for best throttle response.
Changing the “idle” fuel rate by using the hex link to reindex the fuel cam does not affect
the wide open throttle (wot) fuel rate when using a KINSLER cam as it has no lift cut
into it from 65o to 90o past it’s nominal idle position. This is not only convenient, but proper, as
a throttle plate does no throttling after about 65o of opening, so the engine is at wot air flow from
that point on, and needs no additional fuel.
ANGLES
The throttle plates are cut at a 14o angle so they won’t stick in the throttle bore. Idle is about 1o,
or 15o total, so the throttle shaft only rotates about 75o to wide open throttle (90o) from an idle. Fig. 1
The fuel cam is connected to the throttle shaft with a parallel four bar linkage (see Page #62) so it also rotates about 75o to go from idle to
wot. Since it has no lift from 65o of travel to 90o, it can be reindexed to set idle fuel rate without affecting the wot fuel rate at all. It is rare
to reindex the fuel cam more than 5o from the as shipped position to change the idle fuel rate significantly.
Some fuel cams have reference lines placed on them for checking the nominal, or “as shipped” cam position. The marks should be aligned
as shown in Fig. 1 when the throttles are wide open on small block Chevrolets. On big block Chevrolet units, the throttle would be closed.

HOOKING UP THROTTLE LINKAGE


On units not having a rollerized fuel cam follower, the ideal place to attach the
throttle linkage is on the throttle shaft, close to the arm that activates the fuel
cam. This will prevent putting the torque required to move the fuel cam through
the weakened section of the throttle shaft where it is milled to accept the throttle
blade.
On units that have a rollerized lifter (which takes very little force to move), it is
acceptable to attach the throttle linkage to one of the spring-screw links at the
center of the manifold as long as the torque is pulling against the screw in the
spring-screw link, not against the rivit - spring.

Always attach the throttle return springs so that they pull at the same point where NOT CORRECT !!

LUCAS MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP
Each Lucas mechanical pump supplied by Kinsler will have a red flow
test tag wired to it. This assures that the pump has been put through a
run-in schedule of varying pump speeds and pressures for at least 1.2
hours. The pump is flow tested at the start and end of the run-in, and if
there is more than a very small difference in flow between the start and
end flow tests the pump is rejected as unsatisfactory.

PRESSURE
The pressure relief (PR) valve is set to maintain system pressure at about
150 PSI on a Can-Am car with a 500 cubic inch engine, putting out about
700 HP.... this requires about .117” shuttle stroke. Since the nozzles crack
at 56 PSI, this leaves 94 PSI (150 - 56) to move the two shuttles inside the
metering unit.
CAUSES OF PUMP FAILURE
DIRT
It can’t be stressed too much that cleanliness is of supreme
importance to any fuel system. It only takes one small grain of
dirt to start a scoring between the pump gears and the housing.
Making fuel lines: When you cut steel braided hose, small
fragments from the braid get inside... it must be flushed very
thoroughly to get all of these out... some always lodge at the end
of the barb of the hose fitting. Lucas wide gear mechanical pump segment

It is excellent to run a Kinsler 25 micron Monster stainless mesh
pump inlet filter, part #8309-025 (see Page #164). It is ideal to
place this in the fuel line immediately before the pump so it will
catch any dirt left inside the line during fabrication. It measures
just 2.5” in diameter by 4” long and comes with 8 AN male flare
ends (can also be supplied with 6 AN male flare fittings).
LACK OF PUMP PRIMING
It is important that the pump is primed with fuel before the
engine is cranked over at all, since the fuel is the only lubrication
for the pump. It is smart to put a few drops of oil inside the
pump each time you reinstall it on the engine, for initial
startup lubrication.
Turning on the high pressure electric starting pump doesn’t
necessarily push any fuel into the mechanical fuel pump. This
is because there is a check valve at the outlet of each pump, to Disassembled Lucas mechanical

LUCAS NOTES
A) The greatest enemy of any kind of fuel injection system is dirt.
KEEP IT CLEAN. If disconnecting any lines, protect them from dirt.
B) There is a nylon filter in the adapter fitting on the inlet to the metering unit. Check this
occasionally to be sure it is clean. Dirt may be removed from this and the nozzle inlet
screens by using a Q-tip or similar cotton tipped swab.
C) An 8-cylinder metering unit that has 8mm diameter shuttles will flow 3.5 lbs/hr per .001”
stroke at 7000 rpm.

NOTES - PLUMBING MULTIPLE FUEL TANKS
SEE PLUMBING SCHEMATIC ON PAGE #216 FOR
READ T H I S !! MULTIPLE FUEL SUPPLY TANKS ON A LUCAS SYSTEM.
This schematic greatly simplifies the plumbing and operation of the Lucas system when using multiple fuel tanks. It eliminates the need
for multiple valves to select the desired fuel tank to run on. It also eliminates the need for selector valves running back to each tank.
Simply install one toggle switch on the instrument panel for each supply pump... these should all be wired through the ignition switch,
(including the Lucas high pressure fuel pump) so no pump can be left running by mistake. Note: check amperage capacity of each switch.
Select the tank that you want to use by using the corresponding fuel pump. This will deliver fuel through a one way check valve, then to
the vapor separator tank. The check valves keep the fuel from backflowing into the other tank(s).
To switch to another tank: Leave the first pump running and flip on the switch for the next
tank. After allowing about twenty seconds for the new pump to purge out the trapped vapor,
flip off the switch to the first pump.
A critical item for this system is the Kinsler Vapor Separator Tank (VST). It must be
constructed with a proper internal vapor separator chamber, or the tank will fill up with
vapor. The Kinsler VST tanks have a proper chamber design:

5708 Vapor seperator tank, 3" diameter x 8" tall, blue anodized aluminum
5710 Vapor seperator tank, 3" diameter x 10" tall, blue anodized aluminum
5712 Vapor seperator tank, 3" diameter x 12" tall, blue anodized aluminum

5713 liner, two required
5716 Vapor seperator tank, 4" diameter x 12" tall, blue anodized aluminum
Mounting bracket for 4" diameter tank, stainless steel with rubber
5717 liner, two required

Stainless steel Vapor Separator Tanks are available on SPECIAL ORDER.


NOTE : Specify 8 AN, 10 AN, or 12 AN outlet to mechanical injection pump
when ordering. Tanks are available with 8 AN or 10 AN male flare inlet
(supply from electric pump) and 6 AN or 8 AN male flare for return to Back
Pressure valve - other sizes can be special ordered.
#5717
#5716
When mounting any pump.....
1. Mount it as low as possible, for good gravity feed from the tank. At
least keep it below the lowest fuel level the tank will have.
2. Have no angled fittings in the inlet hose to the pump from the tank;
make any bends with a sweeping bend of the hose. If forced to use an
angled fitting, it must be a bent tube type fitting... this gives the fuel
a reasonably smooth flow path, which will greatly reduce the tendency
of the pump to cavitate at its inlet.

CARBURETOR FUEL SUPPLY
ANY PRESSURE AND VOLUME YOU NEED
MECHANICAL PUMP ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A BATTERY
AND CHARGING SYSTEM
EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE !
HOW IT WORKS
Mechanical injection pumps are positive displacement type, so the
Kinsler can supply a proper fuel supply system for a carburetor,
system must bypass the fuel that the carb doesn’t need back to the
tank. The primary pressure relief valve does this, and also regulates using a mechanical or electric fuel pump (for information on
the pressure at about 15 PSI* to the inlet of the regulator valve. It is ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS see Pages #124-130). Pump
necessary to keep the inlet supply pressure to the carburetor regulator drives, fuel filters, and bypass valves are also available.
valve at least 1 PSI above the maximum desired regulated pressure,
but not more than 20 PSI total to prevent damage to the regulator.
NOTE : the fuel filter is placed before the valves so that it will FOR GASOLINE
protect both the relief and regulator valves.

The table gives the final regulated pressure for this system on
a small block Chev. If extremely fine pressure regulation is
desired, two regulators can be installed in parallel, see table
at right. Connect the two inlets together and connect the two
outlets together. This should not be needed except on larger
gasoline big block engines, or engines that run methanol. There
are many regulators; call us; we will recommend the best setup
for you.

MECHANICAL PUMP
SUPPLYING CARBURETOR
SYSTEM, WITH NITROUS OXIDE
The mechanical pump MUST be
capable of supplying the required
volume at the RPM the nitrous is
engaged. Just because the pump is
large enough to feed the engine at
7000 RPM with nitrous, DOES NOT
mean it is big enough to supply the
volume of fuel at 3500-4000 RPM with
nitrous. When engaging the nitrous
at low RPM, a larger pump will be
required to get the volume needed. DO
NOT CONFUSE VOLUME WITH
PRESSURE. There may be plenty of
pressure before the nitrous is engaged,
but when the enrichment solenoid opens
and starts to flow volume the pressure
will immediately drop. Call us!

To determine centerline radius:


1) Imagine a circle that matches the centerline (the imaginary line running through the center of the
tube) of the radiused end of the bend.The center of that circle is the center point.
2) Measure from the center point to any point in the arc of the imaginary circle. This measurement is the
centerline radius.

Note on Connecting Tubing :
Putting a bead around the end of both of the tubes is OK,
but under boost conditions there is still a good chance that
the two pieces will blow apart causing not only loss of
boost but depending on where fuel is being injected a fire
hazard. The best thing to do is to weld an ear/flange on
both pieces then either safety wire them together, or even
better, bolt them together.
