from what i know injectors run out around 270rwkw!

LOL!! On what fuel pressure are you basing that on?

Just because the car "seems" fine, doesn't mean it necessarily is, AFR's and knock count will tell the truth.

from what i know injectors run out around 270rwkw! and im not running standard fuel system , ive got Walbro 255LPH , SARD Rising Rate FPR set to 33PSI on idle . I checked the plugs today that i put in last week and they are running rich , they are kinda black all over the tip . Also it backfires like crazy off throttle. So i dont know the ARF's but i will definatly keep it on 11PSI now all i was saying is it works on stock ECU , might not be safe but everything runs sweet though ( from a driving perspective ) not mechanically wise im sure

That seems pretty low for stock idle fuel pressure (std runs more than that - I think 3 bar (45psi). Injectors on stock run out around 215rwkw - depends on what you mean "run out" cause they will keep supplying fuel just not enough. Not enough fuel with more air = KABOOOMMMM !!!!! Busted ring lands on 1 piston the absolute minimum (cost for basic rebuild at least $4000)

Obviously (for a physicist or engineer) flow rates and therefore HP of injectors are based at a certain psi - (the only way you could possible give 1 figure), but they ramp up with more psi.

You would probably get around 240rwkw at 1 bar with your setup if it was tuned properly. This can be done with stock injectors if you want to have them running about 65psi of pressure (above atmosphere). Now if you were a damn builder how much extra water would you put behind a damn built for say 215mega litres? Because you injectors are like a damn wall at this piont.

band aid fix.

did you really think you could run a big aftermarket turbo with a stock ecu, stock ecu, stock afm and it would run good and make power?

do people not understand the idea of supporting mods; you can't make safe power with out enough fuel

from what i know injectors run out around 270rwkw!

my injectors were hitting 100% duty cycle at only 190rwkw on cold mornings. but you have an adjustable fpr so i guess you'll be fine..... :D

there is a world of

better response

better average power

better fuel economy

better overall

locked away in a new stand alone ECU or a complete remap

sure you can keep with the stock ecu and "it will work" but its not ideal

theres a massive difference between a complete tuned map and a piggybacked one

i was able to add in around 10deg+ on my std ignition map with the standard turbo

that drivability and how the car responds is amazing. this coupled with a complete turbocharger change, and youll have a pretty big difference

but piss and moan and keep with the stock ecu if you like

for the new guys reading, new to modifying your car this is how you smash your engine

buy a turbocharger kit thats much larger and plonk it on with std spec engine and std running gear

and expect it to work, turn the boost up and as long as its feels more poweful, its fine and nothing to worry

to upgrade from the std turbocharger to a safe a good setup you should have

stand alone ecu or remapped ECU (ask your tuner which one)

upgraded fuel pump (GTR is OK)

z32 airflow meter

injectors (500cc or higher, no hiflows)

clutch (heavy duty)

intercooler (any is OK, not SMIC, GTR is perfect)

a good competant tuner who can tune your selected ECU / remapped ECU

anything less is a comprimise and is likely to break the engine or put it at great risk

ballpark budget for this is at least $5k excluding the turbocharger

so if you think you can do it for $1200 go for it, but be prepared with "rebuild money" set aside

engines fail because

a) poor tune

b) lack of fuel, ie pump cant keep up, injectors maxing

c) no tune at all

d) owners screwing in more and more and more boost each time

e) excessive heat / detontation - poor tune, turbocharger working too hard, boost too high

yeah thats crazy, such a nice turbo but nothing to support it, you will need ecu and injectors then a tune and it will be fine, the way your running it, i cant see it lasting long, all it needs is the split second at higher revs for it to completly fail, will cost you alot more in the end,

ive just put a rb25 in my r32, i hate this R&R thing, it sucks, but im going to get a boost cut defender installed (apparently i can change volatage so i wont hit r&r), im only going to boost my car up to 13-14psi with this but i will still be putting it on the dyno just to be sure,

^^^

r&r is rich and retard. it's what the standard ecu does to protect the engine. adds more fuel and retards the ignition.

Very well said Paul. :(

dude, pretty much every1 here is saying the same thing to you. Its not because we think we're madk%^nts and don't want your car to be faster than ours, its because we have actually done research, had discussions with tuners/other owners and are generally well informed about the cars we have owned (in many cases for lots of years) and that we are passionate about.

We're only saying this for ur own good, so u don't blow a motor and end up having to folk out another 50% over the purchase price of ur car just to get it running again.

"You can take a horse to water but u can't make it drink"

+1 for sound advice in here, especially from the guys who've been around a while.

This thread makes me kind of scared now - I've got standard (i think) injectors with an aftermarket fuel pump and KKR pushing out 240rwkw, though the other day I did hit max cycle according to the microtech when doing a full throttle run in 3rd to program my Profec boost controller. Only happened once but it did give me a fright, might be some food for thought re getting some 500cc injectors, especially with my tune being rich as hell.

ok , here is one for all of you guys that said running a aftermarket turbo of the size that i'm running will not work on a stock ecu .. Not to piss in your pocket or anything but yesterday i decided to play around and just reset my ecu using the paper clip method and to my suprise it completly fixed everything i've been whinin about .. It now boosts FINE at around 15-16psi and pulls hard right to redline .. I've got no hesitation and no popping and everything is great car pulls harder then before and really has some torque .. I was at 220kw @ wheels with old turbo and i can really feel something around 250kw + .. Very suprised with my setup that everything that i have you guys deemed would not work but it does , i don't see the need to upgrade the air flow or injectors yet maybe for power later but i'm going good now , a power fc is my future upgrade but i'm happy with stock ecu and safc neo

lulz

even more lulz!

injectors run out way way before 270kw mate, i duno where your getting your facts from

My stock neo injectors (370cc?) were maxed at 260awkw so wound the boost down and making 240awkw barely safely for now.

That seems pretty low for stock idle fuel pressure (std runs more than that - I think 3 bar (45psi). Injectors on stock run out around 215rwkw - depends on what you mean "run out" cause they will keep supplying fuel just not enough. Not enough fuel with more air = KABOOOMMMM !!!!! Busted ring lands on 1 piston the absolute minimum (cost for basic rebuild at least $4000)

It is a 3bar system but that doesn't include the vaccum or boost.. so 33psi at idle sounds about right..

my injectors were hitting 100% duty cycle at only 190rwkw on cold mornings. but you have an adjustable fpr so i guess you'll be fine..... :thumbsup:

RB25? wow..

looking forward to the next thread he creates

I just blew my engine = i am a f**ken idiot

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
