quick answers

yes, walbro, tomei, no, no

yes - the pump is a worthwhile upgrade as they are getting old

walbro or tomei or any other number of brands are good

no power upgrade by changing the pump, although you might get some top end power back if it is starting to choke (but you would be able to feel that in teh car)

only do injectors if the duty cycle is almost or is at 100% - which it wont

duty cycle is the amount of time the injector is open

50% duty cycle means the injector is injecting fuel 50% of the time

so in 1 sec of engine running the one injector has been adding fuel for 0.5 sec

a 100% duty cycle means the injectors are at their capacity and are injecting fuel in the whole time

this tells me that you are lazy. do not do this again please.

correct.

most normally, people only do fuel upgrades if they are running out of fuel. if your engine is getting ample then upgrading won't do anything.

Why not just upgrate to DET items? Saves you a HEAP of money!..

Money that could be spent on getting something that would acctually increase power/responce.

I wouldnt really bother. Unless your planing or doing mods tht will require a higher rate of fuel to be used.

Dont replace things for the sake of replacing them. Replace them because they need to be replaced. If they can be repaired of fixed, do that then automatically forking out a few hundred dollars for something new.

you will find a lot of DET stuff will fit straight onto the DE engine. I have R34 GTT Fuel injectors and they work perfectly. Also have a R34 GTT Power FC to go with them, so any other upgrades i do future wise the tuning will be easily done.

yeah of course it will go straight in, but with a stock na rb25 theres no point sticking det injectors in unless you require more fuel which he wont.

Bigger injectors when not needed = no performance gain = waste of time and money

sum of us have nitrous tho :) therefore bigger injectors come in handy ;) and once i get bigger cams and all that ill be getting 450cc's!!

haha i know you'll need them, i've seen some of your posts that suggest nitrous interest ;)

Im just saying in a stock setup theres no point upgrading injectors

Edited by R34GTFOUR

thats true steve, and i definatly agree.

however even if u were to upgrade the injectors in a stock setup an aftermarket ecu is needed as the stock ecu wont work with them (i found that out when i was looking into the bigger injectors)

spot on with the ecu upgrade cara.

that said, injector installation is a relatively easy job - it's not essential when making power. a good tuner should be able to tell you when they are maxing out, i believe that unless your current ones aren't up to the task then it's just a waste of money.

i've seen rb25de's run nitrous without the need of injectors, just depends how much you intend on running and what kind of tune you have.

for me it was more of a safety thing when i decided to get the bigger injectors, i just didnt want to take the chance that the stock ones might max out..............they 370cc's will defetinly come in handy when putting bigger jets in tho :geek:

lol yeh i just upgraded my standard GTS-4 Fuel pump to a Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump. took about an hour to put in and modify the braket to hold it in but yeh its a freakin noisey bugger but sounds cool hahah you can hear it alol day long pumpin fuel haha. But yeh didnt really give any performance at all does seem to rev smoother past 5500rpm but . only cost around $150 for upgrade with new Walbro

is the nos hooked up now?

what shot size you going?

should be quite interesting :D

yeah it is..........started off with 55hp got 171 kW's n/a was doing 128 kW.

ive got 75's and 100's to go eventually need to get a bigger fuel pump for the 100's

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
