Hey

need help

Rb20det

i've just brought some 550 cc injectors and a remaped ecu for the 550 cc injectors

turbo etc...

my power goal is about 220-230 rwkw

The remap ecu is for the 550cc injectors BUT if i use my stock 270cc injectors will that be ok

cause i know there good for about 240 rwkw max

or is it the remap ecu can only be used with the 550cc injetors

Will it stuff up using the stock injectors with the remap for 550cc injectors

Thanks for your time

Really appreciate the help

If you run the new fuel map made for the 550cc injector with your factory 270cc it will run extremely lean; I would not recommend doing so.

A similar question again...

If you run a fuel map for smaller injectors than the ones currently installed (eg installed bigger injectors but not yet tuned) is there any ill effects doing that?

will run very rich

Think of a fuel map as simply an automated tap, and the injector the hose. Under the same pressure (fuel pressure) a smaller hose will deliver less liquid than a larger one. The fuel maps are preset timers for injectors under certain conditions (airflow, revs etc) to open for a period of time.

Therefore the exchange for smaller injectors, under the same pressure, will allow less fuel through in the same given time frame while larger items will deliver more fuel at the same pressure.

*Fuel and ignition although preset do have modifiers such as water temp, air temp, o2 reading etc however these are only to optimized the fuel mixture not compensate for the excess/lack of fuel from injector upgrades.

If you already have the 550cc injectors, and the ECU for the 550cc injectors, why do you want to use the 270s?

I highly doubt they will make it to 240, probably around 190 if you bump up the fuel pressure

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • 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 without 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.
