just wanna know what power output il br running with these mods. what do u guys think?

-pfc

-fmic

-turbo back 3 in exhaust

-pod

-ebc

-slide hiflow (non stage 3)

-tomei fuel pump

-nismo fuel reg

-555cc deatschwerks injectors

-boost set to 14 psi max

-stock afm

-heavy duty clutch

a realistic figure on say 85% duty cycle on injectors.

opinions to mods welcome

(car has only 90,000k's on it)

tuner dosent push them to the limit. protek doing it

I'd be expecting 230-40 myself. More would be a bonus. Oh, and stock afm? How could you expect more?

i dont really want to change the afm cause i heard its not practical and messes with the idle. plus i cant be bothered spending another 300 on one then i have to pay 400 to get a retune from scratch lol

Oh and get an adjustable FPR that way you dont have to run sooo much duty cycle on the injectors? :D

Hey,

There's no need to worry about the duty cycle of the injectors, as long as you realise you run out of extra flow at 100%.

They do the same amount of opening and closing at 99% duty cycle as at 1% (but the timing is different).

Typically an adjustable FPR is an alternative to replacing 6 injectors where you need 'a bit more' flow (say 15%)

but you don't want to go to the expense of a new set of injectors. Winding up the pressure is the same as installing

slightly-larger injectors, but cheaper (provided your lines can take it ;))

A car tuned for max 85% injector duty with an FPR will go bang just as hard as one tuned for 100% without if an

injector stops working and suddenly 1/6 the fuel flow is cut off. The other injectors, while they have room to flow another

15% each, _won't_ - the ECU won't tell them to...

but having the injector upgrade is gonna make it more safe right?

youve confused the crap outta me too by the way lol

Q45 AFM WILL MESS WITH IDLE BUT Z32 DOESNT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE JUST SELECT Z32 ON YOUR PFC COMMANDER

ITS NOT JUST FLOW THAT MAKES THE Z32 BETTER ITS THE METERS HIGHER FLOW RATEING METRE THAT GIVES YOUR PFC A BETTER SIGNAL.

Edited by r33-d-rift

with the larger injectors there should be no need for a FPR.

the Z32 is identical in size to the standard AFM so it flows no more but the resolution is better with higher airflows, the voltage will be maxed out at or around 220rwkw on the standard unit.

as stated, select Z32 on the menu and tune away.

Hey,

Sorry I wasn't clear.

What does different duty cycle mean? The amount of time the injector is open per unit of time. Have a look at

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-injection.htm

and the following pages, they call it 'pulse width'.

Does different duty cycle make a difference to an injector? Pretty much not. They're only opening and closing - that's

what they're designed to do. In theory having the magnet on for more time might make it wear out faster - but we can

pretty safely say that doesn't really matter for the purposes of this discussion.

Does different duty cycle make a difference to the burn process? Of course. See the above link.

Are bigger injectors or an adjustable FPR safer? No. They only help if you're running out of fuel - that is, your

current injectors are at 100%.

One set of injectors (working properly) that operates at 100% duty cycle is exactly as safe as a different set operating

at 85%, as long as they are supplying enough fuel for the air. The difference is,

that if you need more fuel with the first set you can't get it - you have to change something (e.g. fuel pressure).

Where you _can_ get a bit of safety margin is by tuning the car up to an airflow level that's say 5-10% higher than

the maximum you expect, then backing the air off a bit (e.g. by turning the boost down slightly). That means that

if you somehow get more air in there (e.g. it's a cold night) the PFC's already been mapped for that higher airflow and

will supply enough fuel to suit.

But that's not a function of injector size or an FPR - that's you anticipating certain conditions and mapping for them.

If your stock injectors can supply enough fuel for this higher airflow, bigger injectors buy you exactly 0 'safety'.

If your car's not tuned for this higher airflow even with bigger injectors, again, no extra safety.

People seem to think that leaving 'headroom' in injectors (e.g. tune up to 85% duty cycle) somehow makes things

safer - it doesn't. Yes, there's room for more fuel flow - but unless the car is mapped for it, it won't be used.

And if an injector goes south the others won't make up the difference...

thanks saliya u have convinced me to get the z32 afm..damnit!! lol

Im just saying on a side note that the deatchwerks injectors say to try and stay below the 85% threshold im sure, check the flow sheets anyway, as i was aware that it starts going a bit funny. On another side note keep us posted on your cruise load tuning if you have any issues with you set of injectors. Cheers Adam

get a z32 afm and run 18psi. the high flow still isnt a very big turbo so u will still need to run some decent amount of boost to get that power figure up there...

i dont wanna run too high of boost cause i drive like a mad man lol. 1 bar is all i want to go to be safe as im running the stock head gasket

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
