I have a garrett journal bearring t3. It *might* be a super 60 but I'm not sure about that.

.60 AR Compressor housing

.48 AR exhaust housing.

Garrett claims 350 hp on they're current t3 with a .42 AR compressor housing.

I'm just curious, as I broke a plastic tip off of one of my 450cc injectors, what sort of boost should I run with this new turbo on the factory injectors? I have an SAFC, HKS EVC, and will be using an AEM wideband.

At this maximum safe boost level, what horsepower should I be making? My goal is 300 whp, but I figure that might be pushing it too far.

Thanks!

Its dependant on airflow

Its not a "given" psi. One turbo might will flow more than another, etc etc.

So using "18 psi" is a load of rubbish :thumbsup:

Depends on the car/turbo spec and carry on from there

cheers

This is why I listed the specs on my turbo, and injectors...

I'm not looking for an exact answer, but just a safe guestimate..

Thanks!

with my t3/t4 turbo i got 327hp with stock injectors and a cheap FPR. Injectors reached 100% just before redline and a/f's went to around 12.7-13:1 can't quite remember.. the turbo has a .63 exhaust and a .5 or .55 front again can't remember. this was with an safcII aswell. And also 18psi

Good to know, I dont want to reach quite that high of a duty cycle, but I also have a smaller turbo than you...

I'll keep the boost around 16 psi and maybe take my fuel pressure up a few PSI.

Thanks for the response!

PS: do you have a dyno graph? and did you add fuel with your SAFC?

yeah got a dyno graph i'll scan it and put it up. but it only have power against boost, no af. we actually had to take out fuel over most of the map as the factory computers just dump the fuel in as a safety measure. we tried addiing more fuel at the top but it didn't help which is how we know its the injectors. set ur fuel reg to 40psi as the base pressure. i ended up turning mine down to about 15-16psi on high boost for the street just to be safe

thats with the vacuum line unplugged correct?

My guess is that this is with idle vacuum, and a rising rate reg.

Seriously, i dont see why you guys dont spend the $200 and upgrade to gtr injectors, its a small % of what you are spending doing it up, and than skimping on the most important part

I have a lot of difficulty believing rb20 injectors can flow enough for 327rwhp. regardless of rail pressure. also you do not want to run a rail pressure of any higher thn 60 psi due to o rings and hoses that are 15 years old (44 psi + 16psi boost) even if you did run 4 psi extra rail pressure that is less than 6% more fuel and 270cc equates to 273.5 horsepower at the flywheel then add 6% and you get 289.9 horsepower at the fly wheel at 12:1 afr.

then you have drivetrain loss to consider:)

I am not trying to start an argument but there are the calculations for you.

to keep it simple, 200rwkw is the maximum i would want to run on RB20 injectors!

On Boostworxs dyno myself and a mates both hit 100% duty at around 180rwkw with a 12:1 afr and stock fuel pressure.

Mate of mine was running a suspected GTR pump that later ran out of fuel at 250rwkw and my own which is a bosch 044.

180rwkw is 241rwhp so 29rwhp drive train loss going by the usual 270cc injectors = 270hp. :S

Maybe our beloved DD Dynos are reading a touch high as technically its not possible for 270cc injectors to make 241rwhp when you consider drive train loss.

Was the 250rwkw with stock injectors with a stock FPR?

Was the 250rwkw with stock injectors with a stock FPR?

Sorry no. His stock injectors with the same fuel pump and stock fuel reg hit 100% duty at ~183rwkw with 12:1 afr's Gt35r .82 on 7-8psi.

Dropped in a set of sard 800 twin sprays maxed out the fuel pump at 250rwkw and then went on to make 260rwkw on 1 bar.

The turbo really didn't make all that good power under 10psi; over 10psi it really woke up.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
