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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
