hey guys got my sard 280 installed a fw days ago, have been driving the car here and there and not running hwo it should or hwo it used to run, yous guys think it will need some kind of a retune or about 1hrs dyno time, the car also cut out for liek the 1st time today, i bought the pump and it seems to be in excellent condition but car isnt running how it was, maybe because its pumping more fuel and the injectors cant take it, yous guys htink it needs a retune because if it does its better to just upgrade the injectors and gett it retuned but i knwo thecar aint going nowhere as it still has the stock turbos and they are useless, what do yous guys think, upgrade the injectors because i dont have the cash for the turbos atm but in the next couple months can get a pair of gt2860r -5 or sumfin,

please guyas tell me what could be the problem or if the car just needs a retune and so if it does yous think upgrading the injectors would be a good idea?

cheers tony

Me either. If the old fuel pump was dying... then the new one should fix any problems...

Was the old pump even tested before being pulled out? If not, then you really cant say its got anything to do with the pump

Take it to a workshop.

what im trying to say is with my old pump it was running fine but after i got my new sard 280 pump installed it feels like it has lost a bit of power and running much more rich as i can easily smell the fuel, so now im guessing the car will probably need a hours dyno tune just to check the fuel mixtures but if it does need a retune i think its a good time to upgrade the injectors, right?

Well no-one will know, youve gotta check the AFR's. If the old tune was on a dying pump (which you really would hope wasnt the case, but sounds like it) then adding a new pump could make it super rich. Could even be a fuel reg dying and over fuel.

You really cant tell over the internet.

Injectors - Not if you have stock turbos??? Its wrong time.

Then you gotta tune it a 3rd time when you get the turbos, i fail to see the point in doing injectors now as there is no benefit what so ever if your only going to change it again and again. Wasted money on tunes

i put sard 720cc in mine the stock inj were 95% maxed out at 262rwkw on the stock r32 turbos on 13psi....

with the new pfc it was as easy as putting the new inj in loading up my old map and putting in to the lap top the new inj sard 720cc and it just loaded up my old map for the new 720cc inj

cost very little and no time at all to do!

but i would get some one to look at it first for your fuel pump problem..... im about to put my sard pump in and was told its just a straight bolt in and no need for a retune at all!!!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
