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?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
