The fact that I got 411rwhp isn't of much interest. The fact that I did it on stock internals, stock cams and stock injectors is.

I had been led to believe by a number of people that without cams that I wouldn't be able to flow enough air to make that sort of power, and that I would have run out of injectors long ago. So I thought I would share this with you incase you decided you had to buy them to make decent power.

I'm running a GT30 (500hp) at 17psi. We currently only have 9deg of timing so that the stock pistons don't blow, so even with the current setup and forgies we have a heap more power available.

Hope this of interest to those of us who own whales:D

I'm a bit confused from the above quote where you say "so even with the current setup and forgies we have a heap more power"

Does this mean you've got forgies or are planning to add them?

Buster, Meaning that keeping the boost at 17psi and just by increasing the timing we can get another 20+ hp easily. I don't have forgies yet, but as soon as I can afford them they'll be going in:D

2rismo, I'm sure the injectors are standard 370cc, I'm using a Malpassi fuel reg, with about 40psi of fuel pressure.

Injector duty is on about 80%, so I'm hoping to keep the stock injectors a bit longer.

Hi GTS-t VSPEC, when you say "I'm using a Malpassi fuel reg, with about 40psi of fuel pressure". Is that 40 psi above boost? ie 40 + 17 = 57 psi. Or is it 40 psi total? ie 17 + 23 = 40 psi.

Hmmm 40 psi is only a little above standard, hmmmm.

This is prety simple maths here, 370 cc's per injector, 6 X injectors, 1 firing per 2 crank revolutions, 12 to 1 A/F ratio, 2.5 litres engine capacity at 1.15 bar (17 psi) at 90% engine efficiency. You end up at 370 bhp (+ or - 5%) at 80% duration. The 20% is for acceleration enrichment, ambient conditions, cold run etc

So 411 + (say for losses) 70 = 481 bhp. That's 130% duration.

In order to get the sort of flow we would have to increase the fuel pressure to 60 psi above boost. In your case that would be 77 psi which is 4 psi above the Bosch Motorsport fuel pump maximum. There are other pumps rated higher of course, but hen you start to run into other complications, hoses, clamps, voltage drop etc.

I'm perplexed??????????????

Hi Buster, you asked "do you use a fuel reg on all your cars or is it only needed if the injectors are maxing out?"

Adjustable fuel pressure regulators are a bit of a "band aid" really. They are OK to fix a slight problem when budget is a concern (as it generally is). Bottom line, I prefer to get the right size injectors in the first place.

Hope that helps

Hi R32-GTS, it has been my experience that the laws of physics always apply. Whenever I search enough, I can find an answer, and restore my faith in the laws. There is obviously a reason for it, we just need to find it.

This is pretty simple;

either the injectors flow more than 370 cc's

or

the fuel pressure is more than 40 psi above boost

or

the calorific value of the fuel is higher

or

well, let's leave that one............

Hi guys, there are a couple of other clues here....

Simplistically, boost is resistance to air flow. You run higher boost because the engine won't allow the air to flow into and out of the combustion chamber. The GT30 at 1.15 bar is a little under its most efficient ie; a bit below the sweetspot on its compressor map. About 1.3 to 1.5 bar is pretty much right in the middle to achieve its 500 bhp rating. Now 411 rwhp (480'ish bhp) is pretty close to 500.

My experience has been that a standard flowing RB25DET (standard cams, ports, inlet manifold etc) with a "perfect" intercooler and exhaust manifold, needs 1.4 to 1.5 bar to overcome these standard restrictions to air flow to make 450 bhp. Reducing the restriction (longer duration, higher lift cams and port work being the main ones) you can get 450 bhp at lower boost levels (1.1 to 1.3 bar).

To make close to 500 bhp, I would have to run 1.7 to 1.9 bar, which is past the max efficiency point of the GT30, but achievable.

So I'm perplexed over this as well...............

Sydneykid, Glad I've got you stumped on this one, I was shocked aswell. I know I only put BP 98 in the tank, mixed in the correct proportions with Octane booster. The injectors have been in there since I bought the car, and the car was 100% stock when I bought it, so I'm confident that there are stock. I would agree that sizing the injetors to meet the application, but seeing as we're not even at 90% duty cycle then the stock injectors are working great.

I'm using the stock fuel pump as a lift to a 3litre surge tank, then a 910 Bosch pump into the Malpassi.

I have the Greddy plenum, 100mm throttle body, custom exhaust manifold, R34GTR intercooler, if that helps with any of your calculations;)

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
