hi all

recently ive had trouble with my rb25 since my regrettful turbo upgrade ive been told to add injectors and ECU into it to sort it ive bought a APEXI POWER FC and SARD 850cc injectors but im a bit worried about putting them into a stock engine i mean surely increased injection would make alot more heat and strain on the engine so what do i have to do to prevent it from exploding after i spent so much on it, forged pistons??

What turbo did you put on. That's the million dollar question.

Don't run an aftermarket turbo on the stock setup so yes injectors, fuel pump and ECU are a must at the minimum. Engines don't just explode. Detonation is what kills engines which all comes down to the tune. Having a large turbo on a car on a stock setup is a lot more dangerous than running a bigger turbo with all supporting mods keeping it all running right.

By the sounds of things i'm assuming it was just a slightly larger turbo upgrade, possibly highflow? Regarding your injector choice you may have gone a bit overkill, but once again, comes down to what turbo you put on there.

Need more information man.

You need to start reading the Forced Induction section to get a better understanding of it all.

EDIT: Don't worry I just found your other thread, i'll read that and reply in there.

the bigger injectors themselves aren't going affect the engine. you could put 10,000cc injectors on a stock engine and it won't affect it at all because you then tune the ecu to only allow the injectors to put in the same amount of fuel as it was before.

what will put more stress on the engine is the turbo. this then pumps more air into the engine, and therefore you have to put more fuel into the engine to balance it out.

so ok the injectors wont harm the engine bcos they are set to match the air intake with fuel (more air, more fuel) ok. what about a fuel regulator will the stock regulator be able to run injectors as big as 850cc coming from a stock setup or will it be wise to get an aftermarket fuel regulator if so which one?

as PM-R33 said, its all in the tune. normally if you have big injectors, a higher flowing fuel pump and bigger turbo you'll have to tune it anyway. you dont have to change the fpr for your application, its not really necessary unless for some reason you want to fine tune your fuel system or running ridiculous amount of power.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
