I want to fit cam gears, but my tuner tells me that my gtr has almost maxed out the standard injectors, how? she only has a humble 208awkw?

If that's the case, will a fuel reg fix it? Which one, does it have to be adjustable?

Is using a reg a bandaid fix for maxed out injectors? How?

R33 gtr, power fc, pod filters and 14.5psi

That doesn't sound.right.. my standard ones are at 270kw.and they still have a bit to give... either get yr injecters checked out or get a better tuner buddy

Check your base fuel pressure first to see if it is where it should be; I am not 100% what it is from standard so don't want to give you a bum steer. There should be much more duty left at that power.

well it adds up if your saying your injectors are near maxing out running on 14.5psi but you should be making far more than 208awkw at that boost

im running that exact same boost on -7 turbos (stock size), car is making 260-270awkw and my stock injectors are at 90% tops

his dyno must be just reading really low, f**k.. 60-70kw lower? thats redicilous

Its actually not far off the mark for a car without cam gears dialed in, and of course dependant on other mods. Remember every car/engine is different and the stock engines are getting on a bit now.

How about comparing apples with apples here so as not to confuse the thread starter? Hard to compare a car with bigger turbos and ~270awkw to one with standard turbos and no cam gears. As you stated, there are plenty of dynos that read lower than others.

Back to the original query though, I would be checking your fuel pressure and most likely replacing your fuel pump as others have suggested.

Agree most likely to be fuel pump dying, but don't forget to change the filter and check the vacuum/boost signal to the regulator.

Remember when checking the voltage at the fuel pump that the control module does not supply the full 14v at idle. IIRC its about 9v. I dont know when it switches to full power tho.

He said standard gtr injectors max out on his dyno at 220awkw

I will say his dyno is prety shy, my car on another dyno (IS motoring) was reading 27 kw more

So that would take my car to 230awkw or so. Maybe the injectors would max at that hp?

Duty cycle reached 88%

Everyone dyno is "shy" mate, it's the new black.

Either way, at that power level 88% duty means there is something wrong.

Although - you said they were maxed, yet now its 88%, that is not maxed.

88% is safetly maxed

Anyway, I got my money back from the tuner today :D

It's booked in at crd tommorow..

We'll see what they say

    • 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. 
    • 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.
