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...

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.  
    • And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
