Cadillac Catera Steinmetz badly accelerates

3535 Views 17 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  ZBAVR4
I have Cadillac Catera Steinmetz or Opel Omega B 3.0MV6 Steinmetz Compressor, I bought this car while ago. Сar badly accelerates. I found injectors BOSCH 0280 155 712 on engine (performance 203cc/min). I think that it is'nt correctly. What injectors do I install on my engine? I live in Ukraine, here there is no service for Steinmetz.

Best regards!

supposibly the original injectors at 43lb/h
Are you getting a check engine light?
Check engine light is "weak mixture". I think that my injectors have very low performance. It's 19,4 lbs/hr. May be injectors were changed before as I bought this car.

I think it's very high performance. My engine have addititious injector in intake manifold. May be 33 lbs/hr. enough for 300 horse power?
Interestingly what injectors are established on Cadillac Catera Steinmetz Supercharged engine?
What is the exact code you're getting?
My diagnostics device shows me absolute magnitude voltage from lambda probe. It fits lean air-fuel mixture.
Is your car actually supercharged?

Under what conditions is the car running lean and what is the air fuel ratio? If the supercharger was professionally installed i doubt that the injectors are the problem.

I am sorry for previous message of my son. I have actually supercharged engine and it's very great. It's my engine http://www.steinmetz.no/Img/My Car/DSC00751.jpg
I really do not know what injectors should be established on the engine.
33 lbs/hr seems good for a 300hp engine

So the car had poor performance the whole time you have owned it and this is not something that occured recently?
I saw it straight as bought this car. I bought this car with
nonassembled engine and i assembled engine by himself. I like it, it's my hobby. Thank you. You affirmed my calculations.
Now i will search these injectors.

43lb/h = 450cc around there

450cc good for 300whp

the Steinmetz Omega has around 330ish hp
Steinmetz says this is a 293HP deal on their website.
Steinmetz has different version of Omega. My Omega has 294-300hp.
I hoped that somebody owner Cadillac Catera Steinmetz Supercharger will say to me partnumber of injector which established on engine by Steinmetz.
43 # injectors sounds about right, supercharged engines require higher output injectors than naturally asperated engines of the same output.

What injector options do we have for the L81?

You said your lambda sensor was reading max voltage...Is it cycleing? Is it stuck on 5v?? If so that is your problem not your injectors.

450cc injectors w\ and adjustable FPR can support 510 crank hp
