There was a day when finding inexpensive aftermarket injectors to support 500-600rwhp were tough. There were few options for high impedance style injectors, other than the Ford Motorsport 42lbs or MSD 50lb units. The aftermarket fuel injector industry has progressed rapidly over the past several years and as a result there are many brands and sizes available for most performance enthusiasts. Larger injectors are necessary to support higher horsepower levels on modified cars. As a rule of thumb the following equations are useful when selecting the right size injector to support the required horsepower level.

To calculate the size for a particular application:

– Injector Flow Rate (lb/hr) = Engine HP(1) x BSFC(2) – Number of Injectors x Injector duty cycle(3)

Or

– Injector Flow Rate (cc/min) = Engine HP(1) x BSFC(2) x 10.5 – Number of Injectors x Injector duty cycle(3)

An old trick that some of the “Tuners” used to do was modify the 30lb/36lb Ford Motorsport units to increase the flow rate. There are still street/strip racers using these modified injectors today with great results for the intended purpose. Generally, 30lb injectors becom 47lb injectors and 36lb injectors may become 66lb / 72lb / 77lb injectors.

Furthermore, there are some original equipment manufacturer bosch style units used by Ford that can also be modified to flow 47lbs. This method of modifying certain Ford/Bosch style injectors will dramatically increase fuel delivery without significantly compromising the injector spray pattern or vehicle emissions. From a very high level, here are the steps to modify fuel injectors;

1. Remove the pintle cap, o-ring and insulator.
2. Remove the difusser plate by filing around the weld.
3. Install new pintle caps, o-rings and insulator.
4. Have theunits flow tested and ultrasonically cleaned by a professional service shop.

The problem is that the actual procedure is not well known and it is very easy to destroy a fuel injector if done improperly. Care needs to be taken when removing the difusser plate, and the injectors must be flow tested and ultrasonically cleaned (a good practice for used injectors) to verify the flow rate. Once the injector size is known the computer/maf can be calibrated to match the new flow rate to ensure proper air to fuel ratio (this is something that needs to be done regardless of what aftermarket fuel injector is used).

When this procedure is properly performed, these modified fuel injectors work very well and will easily support street/strip cars easily generating 400-600 horsepower. There are many still being used today. It is still an economical way to obtain larger units for those car owners on a limited budget.

Modeling is one of the most challenging careers for people. It will require one to be perfect at all times, and there can be a lot of rejection before finally having that dream career. It can be a very promising job, but also has its own sets of difficulties. Considering the entire disappointments one can have to themselves. Yes, it can give one lots of money because it is one of the most highly-paid jobs existing today, but there is always a price to pay. Consider these modeling career facts:

· Manifestation and Appearance

Models are always required to be thin and tall. If one doesn’t have those qualities, it will be impossible to even dream of modeling. Moreover, being tall and thin is not all there is. One is required to present their selves in public. Not all models are just tall and thin. There might be also available jobs for people of different sizes. The problem about models is that they try to be perfect at times, and as we all know, perfection is a very complicated thing. Models hear a lot of disappointments all the time if they are being commented with their weight, their height, and way of projecting themselves and so on.

· Money

The very reason most people wants to be models is because of the high pay. We can see top models being rich and famous. But if we take a closer look, we might even reconsider it. Supermodels are the richest ones in the modeling world. The other models that are not famously known can only earn around $200 for every job they have. And another thing is, they are not sure to have daily work. only when a company is interested to hire them, then they will get a call. It is really a pretty difficult career if you are not yet that famous.

· Perks

People always say that models get to have free clothes from designers. We see them at parties wearing designer clothes and expensive jewelries. What we don’t know is that what they wear is not really theirs. They are just borrowed clothes from the designer who is endorsing his designs. They will all be returned after, including the dress, shoes, and accessories.

· Diet and health

Models must always maintain their thin figure. They need to be thin, but healthy at the same time. People say that models barely eat. Well, they do eat. But they take proper care of their bodies and try to control gaining weight. That is why most models try to go through extreme dieting in order to have that perfect figure.

· Locations

If one wants to go for modeling, they need to move all the way to New York. There are lots of modeling works here compared to other places.

Those are the facts about modeling which we might not know before. If you want to start your modeling career, you must first know the facts about the job, and see if you can come up to the requirements and ways of living of a model.

Drifting is a style of car racing, indigenous to Japan, where the racer intentionally loses traction of the car in order to maintain a high speed during a turn. The car continues traveling forward at high speeds, and ideally will be facing the correct direction at the end of the turn. Drift Racing is extremely dangerous due to the lack of control during a turn, which can easily result in a crash, or flipping of a vehicle. Drifting is also very crippling to the tires of a car, causing the need to be replaced regularly with excessive misuse.

In addition to the dangers of drifting, it is also very hard to perform, requiring extreme skill from the driver. It is vital the driver can maintain calm while having no control over the cars trajectory. It takes both precision in predicting where your car will slide, and commitment entering the turn.

Despite the dangers of drifting, it has become a prominent hobby and style of racing around the world. Notorious for their drifting skills Japan has been the Country of choice for drifting; featured in films such as “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.” Drifting has become popular because it is stunning that drivers are so talented they are able to enter this moment of complete lack of control, and still arise unharmed. Drifting has increased the danger and adrenaline of an already exciting sport; attracting a new audience of fans worldwide.

Because of the demands of drift racing, it is often necessary to modify or build cars for the sole purpose of drifting. In Japan, many have taken a liking to certain car models whose overall weight, and engines powers are ideal for the sport. It is important to have the proper weight, height, tires and suspension on a drifting car in order to prevent injuries from turnovers or other accidents.

In order to successfully drift, the driver must be entering extremely high and dangerous speeds that some cars simply could not safely handle. Many styles of cars have arisen from the sport drifting. The media of course has shown the more elegant side of drifting, featuring cars with millions of dollars invested in them. All equipped with the best engines and tires for safety, and we cannot forget the best paint jobs for appeal. On the other hand, drifting has been made more affordable by various styles of cars such as “bosozoku cars.” Sometimes used only for visual appeal, bosozoku cars are extremely radically designed often having protruding body kits for extra appeal.

Drifting has become an apparent hobby and even lifestyle for daring drivers around the world. Despite the excessive fines and dangers of drifting, it continues to strike appeal, and therefore has a demand in both organized sports, as well as street racing. Drifting will continue to thrive as the drivers continue to risk their lives in a search for adrenaline and fame.

Would you like to experience the thrill of drift racing without leaving your computer chair? There are several drift racing games you can play online via your web browser and flash media player. A few that are recommended to play are Drift Racer, Drift Revolution and Super Drift 3D. All games are easily found using your favorite search engine!

Good manners when driving on public roads are an aid to safety and reduce personal stress. Follow these simple hints and observations to make your driving day more pleasurable.

1. In heavy rain do not use your emergency light or High-Beam. If the emergency light, is partly obscured, it could give an other driver a turning signal thus causing an accident. The glare from the High-Beam could blind an oncoming driver. Use your normal “dipped” headlight, stay to the curb side of the road and double your normal “safe stopping” distance from the car in front of you until the road is dry.

2. Use of “flashing” High Beam as a signal to other drivers.There is NO written law about this. It is a practice that varies from country to country. In Europe, if a car flashes you from behind, he is asking you to yield (give over) so that he can pass. It is also used to tell cars in other lanes that you will yield so that they can get into the traffic stream. Example in Thailand the reverse happens. A Thai driver will warn others that he is “coming-through” so then flash you to ask you to “hold back”. This is because the Thais do not have Right of Way rules. Further, it is customary in most countries to wave a hand or nod the head by way of thanks for being let-in or let through the traffic. Taking your hand off the wheel, however, or breaking your attention to the traffic is dangerous, so DON’T DO IT unless you have a clear road ahead.

3. Parking your car for a short-stay, with emergency lights blinking, is not respected in Thailand or most other countries. You just cause inconvenience to others and will get a traffic fine.

4. Braking.

European drivers are trained to look into their rear mirrors before applying the foot brake. If you keep a “safe stopping distance” between you and the car in front (double on a wet road) then there should be no problem. If a driver enters your path from a side road or a motorway lane… decrease speed until a new “safe stopping distance” is achieved. Don’t expect him to speed-up. He may have a slower car than yours.

5. Reduce speed in a built-up are and go even slower when passing a school or a children’s play area.

6. The yellow (Amber) traffic light.

The green light changes to red after the amber has given warning that the light will change soon. Slow down and prepare to stop on the amber light, you’ll just live longer.

7. Keep to the edge of the road. Most oriental people have bad peripheral vision so tend to stay in the middle off the road. When the have to turn a corner they cut across the corner risking a collision with on-coming traffic. When turning corners in Thailand be very careful as the oncoming drivers may not see you.

Driving manners and practices are very important. It is best to let the other car go first and wait. Patience and consideration for others is absolutely essential
