hi all, well its ssems like it has been a long slog but almost finally there, (last of the mods) had the car dynoed a little while back, (safe tune only, little over 200rwkw) as at that time i had a stock turbo and was running premium not 98 octane fuel, I have since installed a Vg30 hi flow and just waiting on the tune to switch to 98 octane, I need to know which injectors to buy to help me achive my aim of 300kw!! will the 550 sard inj do the job nicely? my mods so far include: pwr fc, Vg30 hi flow turbo, fpr, jj intercooler, ebc, when the car goes in to have the tune, injectors as well as Z32 afm will go in, thing is i have heard conflicting stories about running overly large injectors in a car that doesnt have massive amounts of power/let me re phrase that, overly large injectors can cause idiling and fuel consumption problems. with the mods i have listed what size injectors would people reccomend for me to achive my aimed 300kw?? at $760 delivered i am looking at the sards, but for $860 Delivered i could also get TOMEI 555cc or TOMEI 6 Injectors for $875 Delivered or 6x Tomei 600cc injectors - $820 delivered so what does eveyone think? will i need anything larger than 600cc to achive 300kw with supporting mods or can this be achived easily with 550cc injectors help!

550cc-600cc

But that turbo will not make 300rwkw :(

I made 277rwkw with my hi-flow rb25/VG30 combo. That included cams and extensive head porting; boost was 16psi, but higher boost settings did not make significant power increases (ie: past the efficiency range of the turbo).

I am now building up a completely new engine setup (including new turbo), which should make about 300-330rwkw; i still intend to use the 550cc injectors as my mechanic's calculations have indicated that the injectors should flow enough fuel.

sorry was editing my first post while you replied, so please review it.

On a stock rb25 i think about 250-260rwkw.

I sold that turbo to a guy, that goes to the same w/shop; on an std rb25NEO it made 270rwkw. BUT rb25NEOs have larger cams, solid lifters and probably some more engineering/power benefits over the R33 rb25.

You shouldn't have a problem running even bigger injectors because the computer is only ever going to let the injectors open up enough for the fuel it needs.

its just that i had heard running larger injectors than u need can cause problems with idleing issues

that is correct, larger injectors may cause ideling issues, ur car will run a little rough, and sound like it has cams hahaha... i think ur best bet wud be to go the 555cc injectors and if they dont do the job throw in a FPR to keep the fuel pressure up.

personally i would never want my injectors running at, or near, 100% cycle..

the last thing you want to run out of is fuel. they do, and will go fkn bang if you keep running them like that.

injectors are not really that expensive between different sizes now, for 300kw @ wheels i would at a minimum be using 600cc - 720cc

using bigger injectors than needed is going to be better than running ones that are just big enough. if you have your car tuned properly

when they go in you will find that you will have very little problems at all..what fuel you dont need will be returned by the fuel preassue reg.

good luck with it.!

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
