I have a rb26 engine and are going to tune it to around 700 flywheel hp.

On the fueling side I have twin valbro 255l fuel pumps in tank,700cc sard injectors, nism fpr, stock fuelline and stock fuelrail.

Will this setup be capable of flowing fuel to 700hp?

Right now I am running a hybrid intercooler (300x600x80mm)

With 3"pipes.

Do i need to go for a larger one? (300x600x100mm maybe?)

regards,

helge

Yes it will be o/k, but the injectors will be operating right at their limit. Check that the fuel supply and return lines can actually flow sufficient fuel so that the fuel rail pressure remains under the full control of the pressure regulator at both idle and flat out.

No real way of estimating intercooler efficiency or induction temperatures. So very much depends on ambient temperature, and how the car is driven.

Those injectors will be too small for 700hp i reckon. I'm pumping around the 550hp mark and my 700's are at about 91-92% (according to the pfc). From my understanding you will have to uprate these to larger units, eg 800's should be good for that setup.

Stock lines do not like upped fuel pressure :( So if you uprate the pressure on the fpr, something may burst

Anyway good luck and let us know how you go

Thanks for your help guys!!!

I think I will try the current setup to see if it works.

Will keep you updated....

all the parts for the engine has now arrived, and I will take to my builder the next weekend.

specs:

je pistons 1mm oversize

eagle rods

arp head studs

n1 oil pump

tomei 1,2mm gasket kit

tomei baffle kit

tomei cams

pfc

pfc boost kit

300zx afm

garret gt35/40r

hopefully this will get me to a safe and reliable 650-700hp :)

As usual the numbers tell the story;

In a 6 cylinder 700 cc's injectors = 700 bhp

That's with around 20% left for acceleration enrichment

Having flow tested several brands of injectors they always flow a bit more than their rating. Around 3% seems to be normal.

The injector duration usually maximises at rpm where the acceleration enrichment shouldn't need to exceed 10%.

So you should have around 13% overhead on the 700 cc injectors at 700 bhp. That's enough for another 90 bhp or so.

Confirmed by the real world;

I have seen an engine (on the engine dyno) make 750 bhp with 6 X 700 cc injectors.

700 cc's X 6 = 4.2 litres per minute = 252 litres per hour

So one 255 litre per hour fuel pump would cover them.

But I am not a fan of Walbro pumps, an old post of mine explains why;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the standard wiring (ie; 11.5 volts at the pump) the R32GTR fuel pumps are OK for ~265 rwkw. If you use a relay and dedicated wiring (ie; 13.8 volts at the pump) they are OK for ~300 rwkw. The Z32 fuel pump is pretty similar to the R32GTR one. The R33GTR fuel pump actually flows slightly more. I have not tested an R34GTR fuel pump, or seen a proper test of one. Following is the best test of Nissan pumps I have seen;

The following is a good example of what happens to a fuel pump's flow when the voltage changes;

1903flowtest-supra.gif

Fuel pumps are rated at flow versus pressure, that's why I laugh when is see stuff like "500 bhp fuel pump". Bosch fule pumps are rated at 73.6 psi, Assuming 36 psi fuel pressure (above boost) the Bosch pumps will flow their rated capacity up to 2.5 bar boost.

flowtest-walbro.gif

As you can see from the above at 13.5 volts the Walbro GSS341 flows 260 l/h (its rating) at zero boost (ie; ~36 psi fuel pressure). But at 2 bar this drops to 220 l/h.

A comparsion in size;

Flow at pressure is all about consistent torque, and a fuel pump needs torque from its electric motor. As usual if you want more torque you need a bigger motor.

Hope that was of some help

Hey Gary,

Perhaps you can answer some more of my questions which may (or may not?) be relevant to this post.

Based upon the apexi hand controller, I get the following results from airflow and fuel. I have seen fuel peak at 92% injector duty cycle on 700cc injectors. My airflow seems to peak at around 4.05v on nismo afm's, which is approximately 1600kg/h off the nismo airflow chart. Can I use either or both of these results to represent something, eg power ? I sort of feel that at 92% duty cycle on my engine and turbo setup is a bit high? What are your thoughts?

Cheers :(

Hi Tommy, fluid flow dynamics, not my best subject, lets see if I remember enough;

The problem that I have with using the Apexi peak reading is it includes acceleration enrichment (if any was needed during the capturing of the max reading). For example it may well have been 80% + 12% = 92%. In that example the real power producing, as distinct from accelerating, injector duty cycle may well be 80%.

The numbers;

Fuel

700 cc per minute X 6 = 4.2 litres per minute

4.2 litres per minute x 80% = 3.3 litres per minute

3.3 litres per minute X 60 = 198 litres per hour

198 litres per hour X 0.7 (specific gravity of fuel) = 138 kgs per hour

Air

1600 kgs per hour

A/F ratio

1600 / 138 = 11.6 to 1

Power

700 X 80% = 560 cc’s = 560 bhp

560 bhp / 1.34 = 418 kw

418 kw – 80 kw losses = 337 rwkw

Usually these sorts of rough calculations need an engine efficiency correction to 90%. So 337 rwkw @ 90 % = 304 rwkw. I can’t remember, is that somewhere around your dyno readings?

:) Cheers ;)

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
