hey guys just wondering i was thinking of using 6 S15 480cc injectors but not sure where there power limit will be can anyone shed some light for me i dont know much about injector calculating, and i have been told running massive injectors is bad for fuel comsuption etc

Power looking at 250+ hoping for 280 not sure what it will make just dont want to run out of fuel :thumbsup:

Thanks

You can generally get 280kw with GTR injectors (6x 444cc) without sweating (without using an FPR), so I don't see any problem getting 300kw from those 480cc injectors, there is always the option of a FPR down the track to squeeze the extra 15-20w out of those S15 injectors (but generally not recommended as the extra pressure affects the spray pattern)

I thought s15 injectors were really only 440cc, except in an s15, as they run higher rail pressures? What ecu are you using?

They're actually 450cc at standard fuel pressure, 480cc is rated at a different fuel pressure as stated on that graph, cbf finding it.

Well of course you do - it's your car. However factually what you have posted is simply not possible with just 510cc injectors. Something is up.

You are either leaving something out:

Happy dyno or higher than factory fuel pressure configuration. Which one is it?

This is usually around 85% duty (give or take) in the factory fuel pressure.

510cc = 510hp

380kw = 310rwkw (or so)... at 85% duty.

360rwkw @ 100% duty

Given as a number of people have stated 440cc injectors max out ~300-310rwkw

440cc = 440hp.

330kw or 260rwkw @ 85%

300rwkw @ 100% which is exactly the max point for standard fuel pressures as already stated (surprise!)

Disagree all you want, 510cc injectors simply cannot be flowing 400hp @ 45% duty. They can only supply 510hp @ 85%

There is more than enough information/results/posts in the pages of this forum, and all across various injector suppliers to back this up, including the 3 people that already so far disagree and no doubt there will be more if this thread keeps going.

EG: If you would make your claim with 510's @ 45% duty, that would mean not one RB26 owner would ever have needed to upgrade factory injectors for 300-320rwkw.

Fact is every single RB26 owner has had to do so... Proof is in the pudding.

(given your claim would mean 440c injectors flowing 320rwkw without being maxed out, an impossibility @ factory pressures).

It's fairly simple. Don't get the size that's just big enough for your power level, because once you are there, you'll want more. Guaranteed.

Go at least 740cc so you can run 50/50 ethanol or E85 (if it ever gets consistent out of the bowser).

If you tune it right there's no harm in running bigger injectors, very little cost difference, and way more headroom for more power down the track.

Do it once, do it right. :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
