I lost the thread so not sure what type of injector/motor etc But playing along I calculate So assuming 4 stroke At 5000rpm -> 2500 complete injections/min or 42 complete injections / sec. (Complete injections -> I understand modern injectors are required to perform several injections of varying duration for each cycle) Time between openings 24ms. Open time of 1ms is approx 4% of a complete cycle. Does that look ball park?
