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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
