hey guys, basically ive rebuild my engine bottom end similar to (piranha) , with tomei cams and gears, and im using -5s. Using the standard fuel pump, my car is about 320awkw. Im using 750cc injectors with standard rail. Sorry for this stupid questions, but :

1. With the aftermarket injectors,do u reckon i should change my stock rails?

2. Is it advisable to change to 1000cc injectors for better performance?

What else i can do to increase my power? Thank you.

p.s: this is subjective, but which is better, open pod or the stock box?i was told better to use stock box(cooler air)

cheers.

Change fuel pump to nismo or similar.

Stock rail is fine

How much power do you want will determine injector size.

Personally I would

Stick with stock airbox

How much boost you running??

Put 20+psi through them and you could get close to 380awkw with those turbos

cheers.

I have so far made 420 rwkw with a standard R33 Series 3 airbox. There is nothing wrong with them.

keep the std airbox

nothing wrong with them at all.

keep the standard rail, i am using the std rail with 1000cc injectors and it works fine

i'd stick with what you've got, the only thing i would change is the fuel pump.

a bosch 040, 044 or walbro or jap (tomei, nismo) will be fine.

if you can run over 20psi, do it to really wake up the -5's

Thought id give a quick update.

I put a pair of -7s on and i love them. They just feel so good after having early nismos (especially ones that were rooted lol)

Pulled 261rwkw at 1 bar so pretty happy with that for the moment. That was with std injectors/pump/afms so next step is to upgrade those and shoot for 330rwkw.

(although i have started collecting bits for a dirty thirty conversion so may just have wait for that lol)

Cheers

Ok so I have gtss turbos, nismo pump, injectors, apexi pods or airbox with nismo filter (depending what I feel like at the time lol). Currently running a power fc d-jetro but changing to haltech platinum pro inthe next few months.

I'm looking into cams. I'm getting cam gears, doing the water pump, timing belt etc all at the same time so why not do cams lol.

I'm a bit confused on what to get.

The tomei type b 260 in/ex with 9.15 lift or

Hks 264 in/ex with 8.7 lift (other hks cams with same lift are 256 or 272).

Appreciate your input into cam selection for my set up. Please don't post dont worry about cams or there not needed lol.

My mate put his pod via a silicon joiner through the stock IC hole into where the wheel arch stock front mount is located. The difference is night and day, but what about water/mud in winter etc, do you guys see any issue in mounting it here? It seems like such a an easy and effective modification.

Edit: stock place in a GTS-T, so I guess you guys would need to make another hole, but regardless thoughts?

I'd go the tomei's, only because they have more lift and they give more torque from that compared to the HKS cams. Have driven R's with both..

Each to their own ;)

A question for the more knowledgable.

Wanting to know with a built RB26, supporting mods with -7's optimal RPM and boost setting PSI please.

Tomie Type A poncams 260 9.15

Chasing 300 or so awkws

Let me know if you need more build details

I would gone different dumps, but for 300/320awkw it's not going to make much of a difference.

24psi peak, 8000rpm will be fine. Set the limiter for 8200 or so and fit a shift light to go off at 7500rpm.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
