Fuel System Calculator

The Dub Shop - Fuel System Calculator  v1.1

Estimate fuel flow, pump capacity, injector size, and power by BSFC from displacement, RPM, VE, AFR, and boost. The pump comparison chart will update automatically.

Air & Boost

Ambient density auto-calculated from Ambient Pressure & Ambient Temp (dry air).
Assumptions: 4-stroke. VE is NA breathing efficiency. Boost packing via ideal-gas PR×TR.

Fuel & Injectors

%
AFR is gasoline-equivalent (constant λ). We convert internally using each fuel’s stoich.

Estimated Power (BSFC)

Estimated Brake Power

BSFC mode uses the selected lb/hp·h. Output shown as Brake.
Note: Power is adjusted based on AFR. Extremely rich or lean mixtures will correctly reduce the estimated power output.

Method

  1. Intake volume (4-stroke): V̇ = Displacement × (RPM/60) / 2 × VE.
  2. Boost correction: ρman = ρamb × (MAPabs/Pamb) × (Tamb,K/Tman,K), with ρamb auto from Pamb, Tamb.
  3. Air mass flow: air = V̇ × ρman.
  4. Gasoline-equiv AFR: AFReff = AFRin × Stoich(fuel)/14.7, λ = AFRin/14.7.
  5. Power estimate: BSFC only; Wheel = Brake × (1 − Loss%).
