hey all,

had a set of high flowed sr20 injectors (flowed to 600cc) fitted to my car a few weeks back. since then i've noticed black carbon on my rear bar and chewing the fuel. i haven't been doing alot of boosting but am still getting just under 15l/100. to me this is too much so thinking its maybe to O2 sensor (was replaced about 1 year ago). got in contact with my tuner who is adamant that its the high flow injectors are causing the problem (bad spray pattern due to being drilled) not the tune. i got a power fc and high flow turbo.

we have no dramas using high flow injectors providing they are done properly. Get an independent dyno check.

I'm a bit curious on this. Lately i swear my car is using more and more fuel. $30 of BP Ultimate gets me about 100-150km's driving to and from work, im pretty sure it used to get me around a lot more.

I was thinking maybe the oxygen sensor is f**ked from using antilag every now and then, however i'm not sure whether Microtech's and other non Power FC ECU's use the standard oxygen sensor.....?

My moneys on the injectors. Getting them to flow a certain rate is easy.... getting them to atomise like std ones once modded is the problem. You can get a certain afr your aiming for, but theres alot more fuel going in than required , as the unatomised stuff goes straight out the pipes.

Case in point, bout 5 years ago i wired and dyno'd an SR20 for a mate, against my advice he got the stocker's flowed to 550cc ... and said the guy promised they atomized perfectly...... Anyway i maxxed them out, 100% ..... ok, car still ran fine, except once small transition area off boost, i could not get rid of a small hiccup, no matter what i tried.... anyway left it there.

Month later i did another SR20 but this time guy used some factory 550cc injectors, made the same power, same fuel pressure (i always fit a gauge). ....... however............ only using 70% duty cycle. I was expecting a difference but not that much ! It opened my eyes quite abit.

Gary do you know much about the Microtechs and O2 sensors? I know the older models couldnt run them in closed loop, but i read somewhere the LT12S does. I hooked the laptop up and had a flick around to check if it was running in closed loop but i cant seem to find a setting anywhere. I'm pretty sure my O2 would be rooted (i've never replaced it since owning the car) however i dont know whether to replace it or not considering the Microtech might not even use it. You know anything about this? I might go ask Pete when i get a chance.

I've seen that on an N/A engine, especially with individual lambda sensors in the primary pipes, but never on a turbo engine, with a single sensor after the turbine . My theory has been that the hot exhaust turbine spins up the unatomised fuel, so it becomes atomised and hence shows up as richness on the F&W lambda sensor. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Pretty soon we will all be running on E85 and then it won't matter what the injector spray pattern is like, ethanol has such superior atomisation.

PM_R33 my LT10S has the O2 sensor physically disconnected, and yeah I get about the same fuel economy as what you're getting :) effing shite ECU's they are, can't wait to get rid of it.

back on topic, is there any advantage to say getting standard RB25 injectors high flowed, or would it be better to get say S15 ones?

I don't mind the Microtech at all. Maybe mine is still tuned a lot richer than what a lot of you guys run, i dunno. I'm going to find out if it uses the 02 sensor, could have something to do with it. That fuel has to be going somewhere...

I would be looking toward the tune in the ECU, remembering microtech's have poor timing control for light throttle cruising, there injector control is also poor.

The injector spray does play a part in this also, and I will honestly say this

WHO THE f**k HIGH FLOWS INJECTORS.

Do not use them and do not sell them.

Well let's just all jump on the "Payout Phil's ECU Train" lol. Yeah i know they aren't the best ECU. But when i put my foot down my boost gauge needle fly's really fast and car's in the mirror get really small...... I still smile :iluvff:

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
