"Everybody else" still seems to be Birnie and myself.

I haven't changed any of the corrections, and it's still running just fine.

In the absence of information from any of the experts regarding what latency or lag time actually is, it seems that it is not a critical figure. The correction for flow rates, is.

hah, yeah that's right Dale ! :)

.....although Ben has joined the club too

Just check my settings as i forgot all about it since being tuned by The Hitman,

He has em setup as 72.0 % and +0.10 Latency?? Go figure.

As far as the 72% goes, i guess his full tune would be applied to that setting so i wouldn't advise using that as a temporary figure to get to the tuners......stick with the 82.5..it's a proven working setting, then let the tuner do whatever they want.

PS...The Hitman RULZ !

Any upadate on the latency for the S15 injectors? Is -0.06 the setting everyone else is still using?

Getting my tune tomorrow.

444cc and 0.5 as i posted only a page ago :)

I used the below and put in +0.06 as calculated. Also used the 82.5%. Tune done at MRC Castle Hill. Got a nice 247.4rwkw (18psi peak trailing back to 16psi).

Tough to test in the wet though. Spins from 4000up.

Good tune at a reasonable price.

Thanks Birnie and Dale.

How do I configure larger injectors?

Configuring larger injectors into the PowerFC is quiet simple and takes only a few moments. You need to know the following information before you can continue

Current injector size

Current injector latency

New injector Size

New injector Lag time

Injector Size and Latency (standard units)

Unit Size Latency

RB26 444cc/min 0.772msec

RB25 370cc/min 0.528msec

SR20 (Jap Spec Manual) 448cc/min 0.584msec

Nismo 480cc 480cc/min 1.100msec

Rx7 550cc 550cc/min 0.730msec

Aftermarket New Units 600cc/min 0.810msec

To work out new INJECTOR correction and latency;

Old SIZE / New Size = Correction

New Latency - Old Latency = Latency Correction

John plans to install 600cc injectors into his RB26 VL Turbo. The following figure's are used;

444 / 600 = 0.74 * 100 = 74.0%

0.81 - 0.77 = +0.04 msec

So he would enter 74% for correction and 0.04 as new latency

Once you have switched to larger injectors you should still check your AFR's with a wideband to ensure they are safe and acceptable.

For a list of common OEM injectors and their settings try here;

i forgot to ask. When I plug the Hand controller in again (and when it's dry :P) Ill do a few 2nd gear to redline pulls and check the peak.

He didn't say that they were close to maxing out but I reckon they wouldnt have much left.

best to check duty in higher gears. 2nd doesnt have enough load.

I thought I'd crunch some numbers about RB25DET injectors and larger direct fit replacements to put y'all in the picture .

Std - 370cc , S15 T manual - 450cc , Nizmo 555 and 740cc .

If you divide the std 370 by 450 555 and 740 you get 0.82 , 0.66 , 0.50 .

So I guess this means the S15 Terracotta coloured ones are ~ 18% larger , 555's are 33% larger , 740's are 50% larger .

I ended up buying new Nismo 555's from a member here which I reckon would be fine for my power requirements using PULP , trouble is if you ever decide to use high ethanol fuel blends such as E85 (if it becomes readily available) you need injectors approx 33% larger than you would with PULP to maintain chemically correct AFR's for E85 .

Where that leaves me is line ball (555's vs 370's and PULP vs E85) so in hindsight if I knew then what I know now I would have bought Nismo 740cc injectors .

Nismoid uses/used 740cc Nismo's I believe in an RB25 and had no issues at idle or light loads - on PULP ?

Cheers A .

    • 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.
    • 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.
