lol dont do that, though it would be hilarious....a better question either would have been....how much boost can i run with 'x' mods, or whats the highest kw the stock injectors can take. your next upgrade is afm and injectors

no i meant 78psi

i say this because PSI is pointless in comparison for this sort of thing. it means absolutely nothing.

PSI is only relevative to the compressor you are using. if he tried to run 14psi on a GT40 then the stock injectors have no hope.

if he tried 14psi on the stock turbocharger then its fine. so 78psi on the stock turbo is probably fine for stock injectors.

it wont flow any useful air past 12psi anyway so the other 66psi is just extra heat and nothing more.

so paulr33... im running 10psi on a GT30R on stock injectors. safe?

depends on the compressor model you are using

the compressor map would give you the true answer to this

but a 30R will flow quiet a lot of air even at 10psi

so you might be on the border line, a dyno plot will give you the answer if you cant find the compressor map info or dont care about the map and reading it

im running a GT3076R with a RB25 turbo's highflowed exhaust side.

84 trim, 0.82 a/r. (i think they the numbers from turbobygarrett.com)

...the correct question is "how much power will stock injectors handle"

jump on some websites of injector makers. they have a calculation applet thing that allows you to put in all your factors and it will rate the injectors for power. rc engineering comes to mind

IF the stock injectors run to 220rwkw as mentioned before, then you can have a t66 turbo on your car, just cap the boost to that power.

get a nismo fuel reg

i would consider changing the pump or hard wire it to 14v (cubes did a howto guide), the wallbro's can be known baddies

what ecu or piggyback are u running? i see no mention of either.

i would suggest stand alone. powerfc is ideal, but pick whatever you like.

either way monitor injector duty and go from there.

stock ecu on those upgrades = bad idea and poor net results

the car will drive like brand new with a complete tune

My local tuner has a few Skylines running around town with 300rwkw with an upgraded fuel pump, rising rate fuel regulator and stock injectors (new turbos and other supporting mods too)... he says when I go to upgrade, I can get 250-260rwkw on a "really safe" tune with a similar setup, but he said the 300 ones aren't running dangerously or anything. This is a tuner that's had several cars feature in HPI (but I don't know how much credibility that magazine gets on here). Because of threads like this, I've been wary, and asked him several times about upgrading the injectors as part of my upgrade plans, and every time he says it isn't needed for my aims (even when I say money isn't a factor in the decision).

paul mate, im running on stock ecu and over the last shit it already seems like a new car...

Im getting hissing and clicking from the injectors tho, me thinks the o-rings have gone on them.

I'll be going Emanage ultimate it seems, as soon as I know for certain someone in adelaide tunes them well.

I would have thought the only real test was an AFR on the dyno?

Any specs on a website will be a guide only.

depending on mods the factory injectors may be fine if they can support a safe AFR at full boost.

    • Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
    • @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.
    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
