Hey guys,

Just a quick question - I'm about to mod my R34 GTR, i have a fair bit of mechanical fitting experience (I know how to install injectors and basic bolt on gear onto a car) and am planning on fitting some parts to my car myself. I have the following -

R34 N1's

Walbo Fuel Pump (Intank Replacement)

700cc Sard Injectors

Gasket Kit

Intake Kit

Power FC / Hand Controller

Now apart from the PFC, am i able to install the other mods and then drive the car on the standard ECU without causing damage temporarily? I know pushing the car to the limits would be a stupid idea, but if i whack it all in and just baby it around will the car run and worse or better? I will be getting the PFC professionally tuned / installed and i wanted to drive the car to the tuner to save towing etc.

Thanks, Ben.

Well, yes. They will inject approx 700/440 = 60% more fuel than the stock ones for the same amount of time. You need to tell the ECU to send less fuel.

If you know your way around a PFC you can trim it but to be honest unless you are just going for a short trip to the workshop it is probably best not to.

Thanks for the advice, ill just put the injectors in down there its not that big of a job! I don't know my way around a PFC so ill leave that one to the experts, if i ended up damaging my motor i would be a sad sad man! lol

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
