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;)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
