Id suggest a remap would be the better option

more of a "complete" tune compared to a piggyback.

Fuel Pump is DIY - see the DIY Thread Guide.

Id recommend a Bosch 040 or 044 fuel pump.

Id recommend a Nismo FPR (dont use a rising rate regulator)

or in lieu of the FPR Im pretty sure you can upgrade your RB20 310cc(?) injectors to stock GTR items, 444cc

I dont want much more power, but want a better tune

hence Im awaiting delivery of Deatschwerks 550cc injectors from the states

got a HKS heavy duty actuator, got a set of Splitfire coilpacks, and a R34 GTT PowerFc with boost control kit

all ready to be re-wired up and tuned, just awaiting the injectors, and oh the ca$h too !!

might even piggyback the Power-fc onto the stagea ecu

I have a brand new one that I didn't use if you get stuck.

Agreed with simon about the FPR.

Im also using one as an interim measure.

Will be getting injectors wwhen I do a big(ish) power upgrade in 6 months or so.

HKS 2535, Tomeii Cams, SARD injectors, 044 external pump and surge tank, forward facing plenum, new cooler arrangement, twin plate clutch and RB25 Gearbox.

Going to run the setup I have for a while, as I need to setup the car (has never been driven with this setup (all new sus etc) plus I need to learn how to drive full stop :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

And agreed about some engines being freaks.

My RB20 Makes 180 at the wheels on 8psi, with only a FMIC, straight pipes and fuel pump. Stock ECU, stock enjectors stock everything. Using a RB25 wastegate too. Seen a lot of 25 upgraded 20's make the same power on 10 - 12 psi and with a remap.

heres the FACTS kids...

STOCK injectors and on an RB20 will see you at aroiund 220-225 rwkw before your on the very limit, thats with a stock FPR.

On an RB25 with a Malpassi FPR jeff and i made 283 rwkw with STOCK injectors.. and still had headroom (not much) this was on 20 psi.. we backed it off to 16 psi and made 265 rwkw, still stock injectors and a very safe mix... this is what ive been running for 3 months now and its nuts!

yes it does... cause theres no way in hell a stock FPR will do 283 rwkw on stock injectors.. By upping the rail pressure you are forcing more fuel through an injector... however the pump, injectors, lines and o rings are all at greater risk.

so im upgrading the injectors and backing the FPR right or or swapping back to stock... and not aiming for more power, just reliability.

ah k, wasnt sure if it would have a dramatic effect, or whether it might just be a small amount of fuel.

never just changed pump and reg. Always done injectors when I needed more fuel.

Will be changing my entire fuelling setup when I upgrade

yeah thats it.

the stock FPR can be "modded" with a pair of vice grips to raise the base fuel press.. its another common tuning trick that sounds dodgy but works...

however with all fuel pressure raising mods.. the ENTIRE map needs to be changed, this includes cold starts, idle, cruise etc to get the best economy as the FPR inscreases the pressure across the whole range... so just tuning the full loadf map will see it awesome up top but rich as hell down low.

CORRECT, but only if the rail was not pressurized enough to start with, otherwise you can add another 10 or 20 psi into your rail and it won't push anymore through the injectors unless the ECU allows it.

im guessing with all this FPR talk i may need one if i want 250awkw

Like I said earlier steve, I've got a brand new adjustable Nismo fpr if you get stuck.

Unless your making massive killer wasps, a rising rate one is overkill and double or triple the price.

yeah but ive only made 187 awkw with fouled plugs on 9psi when it boosted higher plugs were cutting out i changed the plugs and runs sweet now but cant pay for power runs every week cause after few of those i could of paid for a tune

so @ what power level do i need one because bill @ ATS said the stock injectors run out of puff @ 230kw and Simon says upping the fuel he made 283

obviously also noit wanting things to go bang :no:

Don't know steve, I'd only be guessing.

Maybe speak to a few more tuners and go by the majority.

get a tomei FPR cause they look like the stock 1 and fit in the same position un like the other ones that u have 2 attach 2 the engine bay and have 2 run hoses which u may get defected 4

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
