if im getting the ECU tuned can i run bigger injectors then?

say maybe some GTR injectors or something? whats the easiest and cheapest option when it comes to injector upgrade with tuned ECU? I mean its a not a huge turbo so i wouldnt be expecting more than 320rwhp out of it... so what would enable me to safely run 300rwhp (220rwkw)? or will my stockies be able to SAFELY handle such power?

The tuned ECU will only handle the same impedance injectors, which can limit your choice. I believe there are resistor packs you can buy to modify the impedance to work with the stock ECU.

Injectors are expensive, a fuel reg isn't:D

yeah well like i said the reg has already been ordered so i will be running it, i figured if it was easy to upgrade injectors when getting the ECU tuned i could grab some 2nd hand GTR injectors as ive seen them advertised on this forum pretty cheap.

Ill see what i can get out of the pump with regulator first then maybe tune the ECU.

Problem is ive already gone over budget and dont want to spend anymore!!! NOOOOOO but hey its addictive!

bbenny, that turbo is an awesome combo on the rb20, injectors can stretch to 230rwks no probs with a decent fuel pump and pressure reg. Several guys have been running that sort of power out of them for years with no probs.

It may be worth getting a metal afm to turbo pipe, as I have seen them start to choke at about 200rwkw.

Paul, once its fitted, the cost will be forgotten:D (or at least excused:p )

steve: 230rwkw is awesome! are these guys running std computer? i hope i can acheive that sort of power!

Nissky: Procar is in Cromer (northen beaches) the guys there are really nice too, i had never been there until recently on a dyno day. then booked it in last week and was suprised how cheap they were! so i dont mind making changes and getting it back on there.

But they dont burn chips for ECU's so i need to find a good place that does.

Thats what i like to hear :)

ill be very happy if i get anything over 200rwkw but 230 is just awesome! well i pick up my new pump and reg tomorrow so hopefully ill fit it all after work and see what i get on the dyno.

Your doing better than me Benny.

I got my car tuned at Procar and hit 251rwhp at 0.8bar on my rb25t. My AFM is the problem at the moment so the other day I went down to Envy Imports and bought a Z32AFM + plug for $260. Hopefully now I can get it tuned at 1.1bar or so (aiming at 300rwhp).

Out of interest, who put it on the dyno? Paul or Jake?

Mark

Neither paul or jake actually, i cant remember his name, a young guy Gorban or something (it was an unusual name) nice guy and knew what he was on about.

the guys at envy are always really helpful, thats who ive ordered my pump and reg from. are you running std computer?

What about SAS? Silverwater Automotive Services.

Local chiptorque agents!

They are Chiptorque agents so should be able to help.

SAS did a friends car, with good results. They also help out with a lot of the Horsepower heros cars at the Summernats, so obviuosly know their way aroud tuning modded cars.

However knowing what they charged for friends car, and what they quoted me for a re-written RB20 chip they are expensive. I suppose you get what you pay for.:)

bbenny i was eyeing off Chris' 2530 as well, dont be too happy with it, youll make me jealous:D

GT2530 Turbo Is Good For 220rwkw to 250rwkw got one myself on a 96 gtst.

Having problem though seems to give off a popping sound in between gear changes the sound is comming from the rear (Travelling Down The Exhaust). Sounds like a misfire but is very faint sometimes it is louder but no where near a bang. Doesnt happen if i change fast and get back onto the throttle before the revs drop.

Also doesnt happen when the foots down or when above 4000rpm roughly

Need Help PLz

Yeah the 2530 doesnt usually make over 250rwkw, but remember it has a pretty fat mid range - so its a wicked setup for the street. extremely quick!

Im picking up the bosch pump and sard reg tonight so hopefully ill stick it in tomorrow and throw it back on the dyno to see what happens.

then get the ECU tunned.

Roy: yeah ive heard pretty much what you are telling me about SAS - they know their stuff but charge twice as much as most. I was quoted around $1300 from them a while ago and decided against that and to buy a new turbo instead to make the power.

But looks like i have no choice now

anyone know reasonable tuning shops in sydney? someone that knows skylines maybe...

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
    • oh yeah, reminded this morning....bin lids frozen shut too
    • In my case not, because of total reno. But yeah.
    • Did you use an electronic speedo drive? Does you speedometer read all the way to 180km?
