ZZP Boost Referenced fuel system and setup for 80lb injectors?
So, been looking into some improvements and noticed this http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...1015&catid=174
I've had issues trying to get 60s to play nice and idle in the past. Has anyone bought and installed this yet? Also in getting 80s to work I would imagine this is almost a must. What exactly needs to be changed in the PCM to get 80s to work properly?

If your going any route I would go with ottp's return style fuel system. A whisper in the wind told me that the return style + 80lbers = better then stock idle. Also, how can 60lbers give you trouble? There really not that hard to tune for. As far as 80lbers idling, I will let you know when my motors back up and running. I am gonna go 80lbers + e85 probably.

Zach: 80's and E85... trying to copy me after we chatted the other day?
A couple friends of mine have had NO idle issues on the 80's, one with and also one w/o returnstyle. As for the ZZP setup, no experience

He's staying with 80lbers because they will cool his tvs better....lol sorry that was dickish. I still recommend going with JUST 80lbers first and seeing if they idle as bad as your thinking they might. I have talked to many a people who are running JUST 80lbers and they aren't having an issue, granted the majority of them are on e85, but still. My 60lbers actually idle better then the 42lbers I once had in the car. But if I do end up going with 80s I will surely give a review.

the return style fuel system has no advantages over the BRFP setup. It costs twice as much, it's more lines to run, it adds weight but in the end, they both lower fuel pressure at idle and raise it under boost.
this market is awash in un-needed mods. i had hoped that people would learn this when they looked at another forum that had been through all this. When that didn't work, I had hoped that science and links to physics would do the trick. When people still kept talking about the wrong mods I figured that setting every track and HP record with minimal effort would change people's minds.
here's a quote from a user "Worked out great i went form 11.8 AFR at 21lbs to 10.1 (possibly lower but guages dont go that low) so i upped the boost to 22.6 and the AFR is still at 10.1 Also it cleaned up the idle ALOT.

there is a more in depth post in the redline forums about a users experience with it.

One is made by zzp and one is made by ottp. That's a HUGE difference to some.
Also sounds like Scott is running a bit to rich lol, I would assume he actually LOST power doing that mod cool!

I can't post the link but it's Redline forums:
"So i have had this sitting around and finally got off of my ass to put it on (took all of 10 min) but instantly i noticed a difference. For those of you that have been following my build i was maxing out my injectors (60's) at 21lbs (356 HP) wit AFR of 11.8 if i turned up the boost even 1 pound it leaned out to 12.6 So i put the Boost refrenced fuel system on today and instantly the Idle smoothed out. I take it on a pass i noticed my old AFR of 11.8 was now 10.1 so i upped the boost a pound and a half to 22.6 LBS and still had no problem at all. So i just thought i would put this out here for anyone who might have been contemplating buying this. Its worth it. I will try to get IDC logs to compare to the old one so you can see the difference. "
Case in point is when the forum repeats false information about parts time and time again. It's like the health care debate. If everyone things that the bill has death panels in it and you say "People are against it" It's not really an honest debate. Similarly here the myth that returning the fuel after the rail is actually doing something persists. The side saying it did was proven wrong over and over again, by results, by science, by outside sources and yet the rumor still floats around the forum like a fart in a closed room.
That's why I get so aggressive in my posting. We're group of car enthusiasts modifying cars with false ideas about how things work. Therefore everyone runs mid 13's on a car that should be much faster.

80's were a sinch to get to idle well.
the linearity of them, at low PW, seems to be better then the 60's.
also, zoom.
quick question, why do you quote the 80's as the largest you can get(quoting your site)

Unless you're using E85, the 80's are probably larger than anyone could ever need. They'll support 700WHP and no one here is making 500.
We do have a larger pump we're using in E85 and builds like Ryans. It's in tank, high pressure, about 30% over stock, 40% over Walbro. Not sure why it's not on the site yet, maybe cause we haven't had demand? But that's another point to the above. The forum was telling people to buy walbros (until ZZP showed data that it flowed less than stock).

I'm not doing a return style, too much of a headache. I'm going to need 80s where I'm going. Just because something is made by OTTP im not convinced to buy it. I'm certainly not running E85.
Just want injectors that idle good and aren't so used up on duty cycle this seems like the best and easiest solution.

I hit 100% IDCs on 80s and E85 on the stock TVS pulley. I have a 2.9" coming in the mail. I am interested to see if the injectors can keep up.
Area maxed out his 79# injectors on a 2.75" pulley and E85. He had to use his meth kit to add more fuel.
