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?

close 400hp at engine

    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
    • It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!      
    • Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
