I post this;

Then you post this. You're blind, and possibly stupid.

Well if that's all it takes for an argument to have substance then i have a question for you too. Do you know how many RB25s i've seen running stock injectors at raised base pressure with no problems?

Do you see my point yet?

No one's saying it wont work... Just that its not a great idea.

don't bother with cams unless you go for a bigger turbo... All you'll do is lose transient response, ie on off boost response and maybe gain 5kw up top where you wont notice it.

How much do you guys think i could get for my EMS Stinger? im really thinking about getting the Power FC or the Haltech

But everyone has them... its like everyone is making their cars the same..

everyone uses the same ECU, same injectors etc etc etc...

seems like theres not many people doing different stuff lol

Just an observation

Because some stuff works better than the other. You can put WRX injectors if you want to. But by the time you find them, find the right o-rings and fit them your mate would have his car ready by then and driving around enjoying it and have trouble free performance. Its not about being different its about budgeting, going fail safe route and making it all work together without problems.

Yep. It's often a case of "works" VS "is interesting" ... they often don't coincide. My car is like thousands of others out there. As for "280 is pretty good tho right?", go ride in a mate's car that has that kinda power (as passenger) and see what it feels like - how he can't put his foot down too much around most streets, how the lag (or lack of) feels, etc. I was all "ohhh ahhh 300rwkw" when I got my line. Now I've got 256rwkw running safe as houses (the way I like it), and knowing what I'd have to do to get 280-290 or more with the same reliability (ie a preemptive rebuild) and with my other goals in life, it's not worth it for me. If I was rich, then sure I'd go stroke a RB26. On that note, I suggest you ride in a GTR (even a stock 32) around some twisty roads before doling out too much on your GTST :banana: Makes you think twice hehe

haha yeah it does make me think twice...

I still wouldn't mind getting more power out of mine.. Just not ridiculous amounts... I think that getting around above 260rwkw is an achievable goal that will probably give me an even bigger smile on my face lol

Supposeably my skyline was running 225rwkw or there abouts with 13psi. Now with some smart Mods maybe i could get to the 260rwkw figure.

What do you guys think?

Btw sl33py.. what mods are you running?

BTW guys I fixed my misfiring problem... Whacked in some brand new spark plugs yesterday and took it for a spin.. It works a treat.. I still might invest in some new coilpacks though.. It seems like they are getting pretty old.

I also flushed my radiator and put brand new coolant in :) YAY

Oil change and filter change will come next weekend.

  • 2 years later...

i think i heard people say spark plugs many times....

i think we all knew it was going to be plugs/packs

p.s you did'nt get someone else to fit them did you?

because honestly i think if your planing for 280kw you need to

learn about ya car abit

Damn this thread is old but I just read it all so I am going say my 2c.

One of the main reasons upping the fuel pressure is dangerous with standard injectors is that the fuel pump is put under more stress. If you have a look at the fuel flow of fuel pumps as the pressure increases the fuel pump flow decreases. If you are going to up the pressure on standard injectors I would keep it a moderate increase and make sure you have a good fuel pump.

far kthis thread is really old - since this I have pulled my RB25, built my own RB30, and running some good power.

I'd be interested to see if this guy actually listened to any of us.

Oh, and everyone - I have a RB30, nismo 555cc injectors, 300rwkw, STOCK FPR.

Car runs awesome.

lol again at this thread.

"My car runs like shit, so I'm gonna put in big cams, a FPR, and some platnium plugs, that'll fix it" ... ahahaha.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
