Hi ABuSD, R33 RB25DET uses side feed, high impedance injectors @ 340cc and that's enough for around 340 BHP, 253 kw, 190 rwkw or 255 rwhp. Do a search and you will find heaps of posts on this subject.

I have a RB25 power fc, high flow turbo, front mount, malpassi reg, exhaust, dump pipe with standard injectors my car made 229.2 kws at wheels @1 bar boost with fuel pressure @ 90 psi @ 1 bar boost my air flow ratios were 11.5. Couldnt tune for more boost because no. 3 coil pack was breaking down.

Ok GTS-t VSPEC, here we go again.

"It has alot of do with engine management"

Explain this to me, if I have an engine that shows an A/F ratio of 12 to 1 at 6,000 rpm at 1 bar using X brand ECU. How will it make any difference to the amount of fuel used if I have Y Brand ECU on that same engine that shows an A/F ratio of 12 to 1 at 6,000 rpm at 1 bar?

Same rpm, same boost, same engine, same injectors, same everything, how can one ECU use less fuel over another ECU if they both produce the same A/F ratio?

Now if you can't get the same A/F ratio with Y brand ECU because it has limitations, then that's a different story. But the A/F ratio won't be 12 to 1 and the dyno lambda sensor will show that.

I had a very long conversation (cost me many beers) with a couple of Motec and Autronic engineers at Bathurst and this was one of the subjects. As long as your A/F readings are consistent (they don't have to be correct, just consistent) then there is no way they could see where one ECU would use less fuel than another.

Maybe I've missed something, I am here to learn........

Hi ABuSD, R33 RB25DET uses side feed, high impedance injectors @ 340cc and that's enough for around 340 BHP, 253 kw, 190 rwkw or 255 rwhp.  Do a search and you will find heaps of posts on this subject.

I had my standard R33 series 1 injectors flowtested and they all flowed between 500 and 550cc? Or are you just saying that with the standard regulator they will only flow 340cc?

Also - I think GTST-VSPEC was just alluding to the fact that different tuners and different engine management can produce very different results. The engine management is like any other piece of equipment - it's only as good as the operator.

Hi caminperth, at 38 psi the R33 GTST RB25DET injectors are rated at 340 cc's per minute. I have cleaned and tested over 20 sets and they have all actually flow around 350 to 365 cc's at 38 psi. This is normal tolerance. If you increase the fuel pressure they will flow more, but at 38 psi they should only flow to their rating.

So if your injectors flowed between 500 and 550 cc's, then I would say they are either not standard R33 GTST RB25DET injectors or the fuel pressure was a lot higher than 38 psi.

In addition a 50 cc variation (from 500 to 550) is far greater than I have even seen, and would result in the cylinder with the 550 cc injector running 10% richer (and that's a lot) than the cylinder with 500 cc injector. The most I tolerate is 3% and I carefully select which cylinder each injector goes in ie; I put the highest flowing injector in #6.

Hope that clarifies

and when will i have to upgrade my fuel pump, is it when ive got over 240+rwkw??

On an R33 GTS-t i'd be doing this around 180-190rwkw. The standard R33 GTS-t pump is rated at 300bhp which is approx 180rwkw.

400rwhp = roughly 308rwkws'

400 x 0.746 = 298.4rwkw

But lets not get down to the nitty gritty :P

Is an aftermarket ECU "required" in order to use aftermarket Injectors? (ie; 550cc's instead of the standard 340cc's). Or will the standard ECU just continue on its way and pump more fuel in "if possible" ?

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
