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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
