I agree with inark.

What fuel are you using?

I would put the car on the dyno to check your air/fuel mixtures, this will also determine the duty cycle of you injectors.

Before i put my fmic, wolf ecu and cold air intake i was running 13psi boost and making 183rwkw without detonation.

Now i am making 210rwkw without touching the fueling system.

If you still think it is a fuel supply problem, install a fuel regulator b4 you replace the injectors.

well anything you can DIY if you spend the time.. I am sure you could get to the injectors if you pulled the intake plenum off, and then other various bits and pieces but it would take time. But I don't think that is your problem.

Just get a fmic - she'll then be sweet..as the prob most likely is the air going into your intake and thefore the combustion process is not cool enough. Therefore the air is too hot and more prone to pre-igniting -> detonation

See how much power you are putting out before deciding what else you need to do. You're not going to get much more than about 11psi anyway on the standard turb. If you get to 170-190 at the wheels i'd be happy with that until you want to go the next step and install a bigger turbo and things. Then you'll need to put aside about 3k or more for the turbo and some sort of aftermarket ECU or addon.

check the plugs Nath, also a service.

you ain't done that since you got it so thats the best start point.

I've gotta do a service/plugs too before i do much more.

so if ya wanna try potter around together one day then we can ?

But you should be able to squeeze 11 out of it without problems.

but start with plugs and then see.

there is no way u r gonna need new injectors with your current setup.

I am getitng sum new 600cc injectors to go with my new setup and they r gonna cost be about $900. I suggest u buy those 600c injectors for $900 and then when u realise they r 2 big for your setup u can sell them to me for half price. :( Deal?

high flow an injector is easy if you think about it - you just increase the squirter hole a bit, which increases the amount of spray, which increases the amount of flow you get. Apparently you can highflow the standard ones and get 10-20% more out of them.

hmmm..denham, what sort of sillyness are you going now? You're going for 500hp or something silly aren't ya?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
