Tell us exactly what you have in your setup so we can tell you if its worth getting new injectors for example if you dont have a z32 even if you do upgrade injectors the afm will still max out and dw about what your gona boost it up to the tuner will take care of that and stop at where it is safe and then tell you if you got room to go more you need to upgrade this and that.

set up is

Highflowed turbo

gredy profec boost controller

split fire coil packs

walbro 450hp fuel pump

ngk iriway spark plugs

3in turbo back exhaust

stock ecu but getting the power fc put in thursday and tuned.

currently set at 12psi but it does somtimes spike and hold 14psi on cold nights

so im guessing by what your saying manni 14psi is the max with that set up i have?

and also what figures roughly would i be expecting with the tune

What are the specs of the hiflow turbo? Is it a GCG one?

As said above, the stock fuel injectors will max out around 220-230rwkw. Do you want more than that? If so, yes get some larger injectors and a Z32 afm. If you are happy with 220rwkw then you should be fine as is. Most hiflows I know of will make more than 220rwkw. The other way (bit dodgy) is to get a nismo fuel pressure reg to increase the fuel pressure to get more out of the stock injectors, but I wouldnt recommend that because you will still need a z32 afm anyway.

How upset would you be if your tuner says I could only tune on 12psi but the turbo is happy to make more? The answer to that is the answer to your problem. Remember 12psi untuned will be very different to 12psi tuned.

thanks for the info..its made me understand things abit better now...i guess after the tune im going to have to save for some good injectors n a z32 then retune it. and im not sure what high flow it is..all i know is i got it done from hyper gear, gcg doesnt ring a bell but aparently this one is good for around 250kw-270 from memory

Cool, as said above just get the tuner to do what he can with the current fuel system and afm. That will keep you happy for a while then see if you want more later. Only thing is if you do it all at once, you only need to get one tune. but if you dont have the cash, you dont have the cash.

    • 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.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
