Correct sizing of your fuel injectors is important. This tool will help find the needed size for your engine and horsepower configuration. Includes a rich graphical interface to visulize the output.
For 320cc at 3bar this yields ~370cc at 4bar - at least on paper anyway - never did build an injector flow bench !
I've never done this on a flow bench, but the math I've seen for injector flow calculations would yield much higher than 10%.
Trust me Paul, I have a set of TVR injectors in my ASNU flow bench at the moment and I measured the fuel flow rate at 3, 3.5 and 4 bar. The difference between 3 and 4 bar was approximately 10% in terms of fuel flow rate. Granted this figure will vary slightly depending on what injectors you are actually flow testing, however it is a fairly good guide.
You must always remember that the good old law of diminishing returns also applies here. For example, if you increase the fuel pressure by say 30% then you'll probably only get an increase of something like 10% for fuel flow. If you increase it by say 60% then you'll probably only get an increase of say about 15% for fuel flow. So therefore there will come a time whereby increasing the fuel pressure WILL NOT INCREASE the fuel flow rate at all, it will only have a slight affect on the spray pattery and therefore fuel atomisation
At the end of the day though, you simply must remember that you're trying to force a liquid through a few holes which are nothing more that a fraction of a millimetre in size
What you are saying is incorrect.
Flow is a pretty damn simple calculation. Putting a shroud of "black magic" over it does not make your claims true.
Here is flowbench data:
You can see that increasing pressure from 3 to 4 bar increases fuel flow by approx. 20%.
Doing the math suggests exactly the same.
There won't also be any "diminishing returns". What will happen eventually is that the injectors will start leaking and latency will increase massively. Try running 3B injectors at 5 bar, and you will see what I mean.

Well I'm not sure what flow bench these people are using, however I do have the ASNU flow bench, and this is the ONLY fuel injector service station that has full approval by Bosch in Germany. I can flow test pretty much any petrol fuel injector. I can also vary the pressure from 0 to 10 bar and if necessary, pulse the injectors to 10,000 RPM. The machine will also pulse the injectors from 3% right up to 100% duty cycle.
Not being funny here... but how do you calibrate such a flowbench ?
Could you post results of your findings for 3B or ABY injectors from say 3bar to 5bar using your bench. Its a bit curious that your real-world experience doesn't match the theory and why other benches supposedly do.
The other thing is that if your findings are correct then RS2 injectors shouldn't be suitable for power levels exceeding 370ccpm (rated 3bar flow) x 110% (your alleged flow improvement at 4bar) x 85% duty cycle = 345bhp when we know that many people happily run them in 4bar applications to 380bhp which is what you would expect for 85% of capability at 4bar.

You still have not posted any numbers.
Sorry, but claiming that "I am right, because I have expensive equipment" is not going to get you very far.
Put that expensive equipment to use and show some results. Also please explain how your findings defy the laws of physics and all the other flow bench data, that I have... plus what Paul said about RS2 injectors and hp.
