Good day all,

my mate has a Red Top SR20DET, offcourse with all the usual mods + PFC but for some reasons the injectors max out at only 9psi and hit 100% duty cycle already.

I forgot to mention its a 92model 180sx RED TOP. Meanwhile my other friend has a 95 model 200zx and making 187kw@wheels ( black top ) and runing 16psi and injectors only max out then.

i believe both engine has the same injectors rating, why one run 100% at only 9psi and other can reach up to 16psi?

can your injectors be so dirty, old to cause such consequensive or its the fuel pump?

One is tuned leaner than the other.

I am guessing that the pfc on the (redtop) car is running way to rich. Get the redtop car tuned properly and that won't happen.

Do you have a dyno sheet of the redtop car tuned? If you do, make sure the afrs are above 11.5 but under 12.0 roughly for a reliable street car.

I had the exact same problem with my redtop. Was maxxing out not only the injectors, but also the AFM at around 150rwkw. This wasn't so noticable in day-to-day driving, but at the strip it was causing me to back the boost right off. Have since changed to Z32 afm and 740cc injectors and have not looked back since.

I see, i thought injectors duty is somewhat we can input signals in and make them to work either 80% or 90% at certain points.

You can but its not quite as simple as that. You basically have two tables and a correction map for air density vs timing. One is for ignition timing and the other is for injector timing. With too much timing the car will have to run excessively rich not to ping and that is what I am guessing is happening to you.

Putting bigger injectors with the power you have is a band aid. The car will run WAY better getting in tuned with your existing injectors rather than buying bigger ones. Not only will it make more power being tuned with the existing injectors but it will also be much nicer to drive in terms of throttle response and the linear nature of the power delivery as well as using much less petrol.

Seriously get it tuned asap... You won't regret it ;) With the stock turbo your car should make around the 160-175rwkw mark. But all dynos will show slightly different figures. They are just tuning tools.

If your in sydney PM me and I will suggest a place to go who will do a good job. A proper tune is also cheaper than injectors as well!

Mine was tuned, but was still maxxing out (may have been the AFM reading well over 5000mv but yeah). Drivability is very nearly as good with my 740cc injectors and z32 afm, so I wouldn't worry too much if you decide to go bigger injectors.

Can't see how bigger injectors is a band-aid solution (considering you would get it tuned anyway). Band-aid solutions come when you adjust the fuel pressure to get more out the injectors.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
