I’m not having a go at you Brandon; just the power you are talking isn’t cheap, but is easily attainable. 550cc injectors are just far too small; who ever told you that needs to step away from the product catalog.

Refer back a few pages and read the conservative break down of power conversions. Basic rule of thumb is 550cc are good for 550hp at the fly on or near 100% duty cycle.

I ran 1000cc's when I was only making 600rwhp, because I'm friggin anal.

I wouldnt run 800cc after reading about efficiency, unless you have plans for further upgrades.

Buy a turbo BA Falcon if you want bulk power and still retain 600kms to a tank of fuel.

My 490rwhp R32 (1.5bar) 250kays per tank highway driving

My 600rwhp RB/S13 Same sort of boost about 420 - 450kays per tank highway driving.

Some crazy engineer guy on a Lexus forum I read flow tested most of the “high end jap” pods and Apexi came out pretty good – But that was about 2 years ago.

Alas my preference is towards air boxes, obviously.

Does that mammoth Japanese R31 specialist do anything like the ARC boxes? I can’t even remember their name?? R31House? R31Shop. Either way they’re cars make me quiver.

Yea I'm with you and I know its easily attainable at a cost. Not counting the odd cases (you giving afms away), that list would be close to 4k just for material. It comes to cost. Look at Dan! He said he spend close to 20k on his car already. And for me to have that kinda money, I'll probably put it into the house or get an investment property... to each his own and maybe you're right on the injectors. I said before all these are from reading but if your experience tells you other wise I'll keep that in mind because from your personal experience (just as I did for savman's advise). Just as your view on gavin and matt (thats in my mind already so if I ever do get it retune, it will be pit).

Whats the difference? I always thought airbox are something you used to cover the pod filters which sorta affect flow but will keep the cops away. Or are the pod filters a replacement of airbox...?

What ever you do don't run this type of style that has the metal?? Button like centre part "thingy". I have seen this more or less fold in on it's self from the turbo sucking harder than a hooker..

My mates one looked like it tried to eat it's self!

Pod filters replace the air box, but you can get these epic cool box like covers that sit over the pods – I have no personal experience with these.

Oh yeh it accumulates up very quick. There is always cheaper options however, 2x rb20det AFM’s are meant to be a good conversion – But no personal experience. You can buy known good second hand injectors from known forum members, spend a few bux getting them sonic cleaned to insure they are perfect etc.

Just a case of seeing what is forsale at the time for what price, then looking at what online traders offer and weigh up the price short fall. Online shops are kings – No over heads, smaller price.

Barter hard. Taz is getting onto to some good industry suppliers now, so maybe have a chat with him as well. Best price win’s my sale is what I use.

Sell Tristans. He doesnt even use either of the ones he has, so missing one will have no effect

Agree with pretty much everything Nismo has said lol. Making power with a gtr is easy but it costs money so man up and buy the gear lol.

Yea I already know that. In fact so long as you've got the money, everything is easy. I dont think you'll be saying that if you've gotta pay 3k a month for homeloan.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
