Tuning For Bigger Injectors

Hey all, just a quick question in regards to some tuning. I have an r33 with an engine being built as we speak, and it should be bedded in by the end of the month. In around a couple of months time I am then going to be looking at some bigger injectors to make over the 400rwhp mark, and then hope some shit don't break :)

So the question is this, with an already tuned ECU, what is the go for tuning for bigger injectors? Is it a "simple" tune & relatively cheap to do or does it still go a bit pricy? I've heard a couple of different things about it so I'm asking if anyone could tell me from first hand experience....Most people do the ecu & upgrade injectors at the same time but it's hard to tell the dyno time/cost for injectors only, searching provided nothing for me.

While I'm here, with a GT30R (500hp) with 45mm external gate, what size injectors would be the most ideal for me? Daily the car will be driven about 40kms, plus whatever on the weekends (or my days off because I will end up working them again soon). Does bigger injectors also mean more fuel consumption, or is that down to the boost level I run at? Looking at keeping it lower for the daily driving but then of course putting it up at the appropriate times.....

Cheers, any help appreciated!! :(

If you are after 400 rwhp I would be going for 600cc.

If you have a power FC you already have toyr fuel and timing maps done. put the injectors in and change the size /flowrate/latency and dyno it and you are done.

If you have a remapped stock ECU you change the

K value to suit the larger injectors

reference the void blast off time. then you need to recalc your boost table.

Can be a lot of fu$%ing around on a stock ECU if you do it properly.

I am assuming u have a power fc tho?

Nismo 555cc injectors for the RB25DET.

Direct bolt in affair, not stuffing around. I wouldnt be using anything else.

Well the stock injectors are going to be maxed around 220-250rwkw. So you wont be able to do a full tune to begin with.

It wont be "as much" as a from scratch tune, but it wont be a 20min adjustment either.

Should be around 3/4 of the price... Most full tunes are around $500, i'd expect to pay around $400 give or take if i changed injectors and needed a reasonable update to the tune

As for fuel consumption, that is governed by one thing and only one thing.

Your right foot

Yeah, my right foot seems to handle it quite well, the most I've driven my car was freeway to and from work, so cruising was easy. But with what it will be for now I'll have to wait & see :D

Sorry the thing I didn't mention was that my ecu is a wolf ecu, and the tuner I will be using prefers these over anything else. They seem to get more out of the stock injectors than a pfc can, because my power level was just over 260rwkw, and there are a few similar cars (standard rb25's) that were getting more power too!

But thanks to both of you, also got a helpful pm too so that will be something to look forward to! Cheers, Nathan

Out of curiosity....

Why or more importantly how did the old motor pop?

You can make plenty of power on the std injectors.. ramp that fuel pressure up and thats it. Not too good for reliability though.

I've known 1 rb25 to push 258rwkw on std injectors and it popped a little while after. Did its ring lands. Suprise suprise on std injectors. :D

It was just piston no. 1 that went, thats why when he took the engine apart he was suprised at how well everything looked except for that one which has a nice hole in it :)

Haven't seen it as yet but will see it & find out next week, who knows maybe injector failure was the reason!! Boost will be down until the injectors anyway because I will be bedding the engine in & by the end of that it will be ready. For my 21st the hint hint to my mum is for the injectors :O

Hrmm a hole you say....

Ahh well live and learn. Buy injectors to suit the power level and you will be looking at and enjoying a reliable motor providing the engine builder and tuner know what they are doing. :)

As R31Nismoid said... 550cc injectors will suit your power level.

Howdy,

Are we talking about the spreading of a cylinders fuel requirements over two injector openings? Instead of opening once on intake stroke, it opens twice in the 4 stroke period, two half openings, effectively squirting fuel on the back of the closed intake valves.

This was done with older OEM injected engines, plus is a method used by thems today with cheaper AM ECU's, as you only need half the mosfet's or "injector drivers"

I dont quiet understand its relation to the Wolf though, pause on the pop corn and give us a hint :whistling:

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
