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...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
