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?

    • 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
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
