TERMINATOR X HIGH-IMPEDANCE 220 LB./HR. INJECTORS

Holley Performance Products has just released an affordable high-impedance fuel injector with a 220 lb./hr. flow rating.

“With the wide range of injector sizes in the Holley Terminator X line, these are the perfect upgrade for enthusiasts who are making more power than stock, are adding forced induction or a dry nitrous shot, and are utilizing an ECU that requires a high-impedance injector,” said Evan Perkins.

The injectors are compatible with Holley’s Terminator X, HP and Dominator ECUs as well as aftermarket and OEM ECUs that have saturated drivers. These PICO/EV6 performance injectors are sold individually or as a set of eight. They come with USCAR connectors and a 40-mm O-ring-to-O-ring length. That makes them compatible with many OEM LS intake manifolds, and they’re easy to install in a Holley EFI Hi-Ram intake using the 300–230 fuel rail adapter kit. For extreme horsepower applications, the injectors are also methanol compatible.

Featuring a precision-lapped disc valve, brass windings and high-temperature O-rings, the Terminator X injectors provide excellent linearity with no discernible bounce at low pulse widths.

“The downside of an injector that is oversized for an application is poor fuel control at low pulse width conditions,” noted Perkins. “This is called ‘bounce,’ and it is something we have worked hard to eliminate on some of our larger injectors to give enthusiasts more room to grow their engine combinations.” —Mike Magda

PTS-2W WI-FI NOTIFICAITON ALARM

Trailer Alarms

Trailer Alarms can now connect its highly regarded PTS-2 alarm system to a trailer’s existing Wi-Fi system, thereby saving the owner additional fees that other notification options would charge.

“It will still send the owner a text alert or email,” said Lyle Clark of the New Braunfels, Texas, company, who added that a customer came to him requesting the setup, but it had never been done before. “The biggest challenge was finding a communication device that would connect between our alarm and the Wi-Fi.”

Clark’s strategy was to use a Raspberry Pi—a mini computer popular with all types of creative projects—as the middleman between the alarm and Wi-Fi. It took literally a worldwide search to find a programmer willing to develop the language that all three components would understand. Following seven months of development and testing, a working unit called the PTS-2W was launched.

A suitable mounting box for all components was found, then the mounts were custom designed and manufactured with a 3D printer. The system still needs to be programmed with the Wi-Fi SSID and contact information for those receiving the alerts.

“The nice thing about the Raspberry Pi is that when the alarm goes off, it will record about 15–20 seconds of video and send that to the owner,” said Clark. “That way they have video evidence or can see if it’s a false alarm.” —Mike Magda

CNC-PORTED IRON CYLINDER HEADS

Iron cylinder heads will always have a place in motorsports, whether the choice is driven by sanctioning body rules, budget constraints or durability requirements. With the release of CNC-ported iron heads for the big and small block Chevrolet from World Products, the same airflow technology that goes into popular aluminum heads is now available to racers.

“These are mostly circle track and pulling applications,” noted Jack McInnis. “Obviously, they’re not limited to those. Off-shore marine is also a good place for them because salt water can play havoc on aluminum.”

For the big block, Merlin heads are available with 340cc or 365cc intake runners. The smaller offering has a 123cc combustion chamber, while the larger runners flow into a 128cc chamber. Both heads support 2.300/1.880 valves. Airflow numbers for the intake side posted by World show 403 cfm at .800-inch lift on the Merlin 340 and 428 cfm at .900-inch lift on the Merlin 365.

On the small block side, the Sportsman II head features 215cc intake runners and 2.020/1.600 valve sizes. The Motown head comes with 230cc intake runners and a 2.100/1.600 valve package. Both heads have 69cc combustion chambers. On the flow bench, the Sportsman II 215 recorded 289 cfm at .700-inch lift, while the Motown 230 head came in at 318 cfm with .700-inch lift.

World Products partnered with High Velocity Heads to design the ports and manage the CNC operations. —Mike Magda
