Safe Boost Levels With Standard Afm & Injectors

Hi everyone,

This may sound a bit silly but here goes.

My Rb25 Turbo (R33) is at Hypergear getting the highflow (ATR28G3 450hp) work done and Im getting a 14psi actuator installed as well, As I have not yet got a Z32 AFM or injectors and I was wondering what a safe level of boost would be until I can get these extra bits.

I am still going to drop it down to CRD for a tune once the Turbo is back and I have most of the supporting mods but Im unsure wether I should leave the boost set at 15psi or lower it until AFM and Injectors can be put on.

I know i should have probably got the AFM & Injectors first but the stuffed Turbo was unexpected (And Untimely!)

Im curently running 217rwkw@15psi with standard Turbo

Mods are as follows:

Hybrid FMIC/ Apexi Super suction kit/Custom Air intake and box/Split Dump pipe/HKS 3.5" Cat back/Catco Metal cat (1016cfm I think)/Greddy EMU/Profec Spec B EBC/And as of next week High flow turbo

Any views?

Standard gtst AFM have a air resolution to 220 rwkw, so if you are making 220 rwkw on 10psi with the highflow then 10psi is all you should run.

As for your injectors 220 rwkw is also safe for them, anymore and your just asking for trouble. Think of it this way, its cheaper to upgrade your injectors before running higher boost than replacing your motor because it wasnt getting enough fuel.

should be right on your after market ecu. ( get tune once u upgrade rest of ya stuff )

i blew my motor up (4 cracked pistons) on my slide hi flow on stock ecu on 16psi after a few months..

Hey therre i just got my highflow as well same as you! im running it on now with stock AFM stock injectors @ 1bar. It runs pretty good! but there are some flatspots . I will get a tune soon with my PFC.

Hey Pal are you still running stock AFM or Z32?

Also what size injectors do all you peeps recommend, 555's or 740's ?

I should be able to get the Z32 in a week or two but the injectors may take a little while

just save up and do both at the same time, another option is s15 injectors i was running them and they are good for around 280 rwkw no worries i just sold my set for $450 as well so they are a good value upgrade. z32 can be had for around 150 -200 so in all for around 600 + 200 for re tune you should be sweet just keep an eye on the for sale section. i think there is another set going for around the same price.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
