Hey guys,

I just got my car dyno tuned by Gavin Woods, he's an absolute champion.

Car is currently putting out 315hp at 0.9 bar.

Specs are:

1993 RB25DET

Apexi PowerFC

Bosch 040 Pump, Tomei Fuel Reg, Stock Injectors

KKR560 Turbo, front mount, stock AFM, Greddy Profec B Spec II

He said he could only run 0.9 bar of boost as the AFM was maxxed out, and injectors were at 92% and he doesn't like going above 90%

So... I'm gonna save up for injectors and an afm, and had a few questions....

1) What injectors and AFM would you recommend? I'm not planning on eventually running any crazy power, just wanting to fix whatever's "holding back" the engine :D

2) how much boost would you run on a stock engine? (140,000km) The turbo seems as though it would be happy to run 20psi+ but i'm guessing the engine wouldn't last

3) Are there any other bits I would need or should get? EG: will new afm need an adapter for the existing pod filter or wiring in a new loom, or any other bits that should be changed at the same time?

4) Where should i get these bits from?

Thanks guys :P

i pretty much have the perfect information on injectors atm in my post just below yours :D

and the afm is covered heaps here already, get a z32 afm.

and for how much boost, lol thats covered alot to..

ive learnt to use the search bar since my first post otherwise u look like a complete tool.

1. Z32, Nismo 555's

2. Who knows, more about the tune than anything.

3/4. Nengun, greenline, any of the forum traders as well. AFM will be larger, might need a new adapter.

Nasty turbo though the 560 :D

Also, once you put in larger injectors, put the factory fuel reg back on, you do not need the Tomei one.

Thanks for the advice guys,

I have read either 440cc or 480cc for S15 injectors, guess I gotta do more research :banana:

What's the reason for returning to stock FPR if i get bigger injectors? I realise I may not need the additional pressure, but can't it just be turned back down?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
