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

Edited by R34GTFOUR
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

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
