hi all

i have a RB20DET with stock turbo which i want to upgrade to something similar to a HKS2530 etc...

i have a fuel pressure regulator, 600hp walhbro fuel pump, 440cc GTR injectors, 3.5 inch exhaust, and FMIC. i am going to get the new turbo and a Z32 AFM installed and get my ecu re-mapped. i was wondering would there be a major difference if i kept the 440cc injecotrs in or should i upgrade to 550cc injectors? what sort of difference in power (kw) would there be if any? just guessing obviously....

any info on which way i should go would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

chris

Why would the bigger injectors give you any extra power? As long as the GTR ones can flow enough to get the right amount of fuel in, there's no point in upgrading again? Maybe decreased fuel efficiency?

As always, correct me if I'm wrong...

oh... :)

i was always under the impression that i needed bigger injectors to get bigger power figures...

hence why i thought if i put 550cc injectors in i would get a bigger power figure instead of the 440cc

airflow makes power, not fuel. you need more air into the system to make more power. once you put in more air, youll need to add in more fuel, otherwise youll max out your injectors. so no injectors wont add any power, but will allow your system to safely run more

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
