Hi everyone,

I have just put a set of Garrett -7s on the 34 GTR, with HKS boost controller to 1 bar, stock injector/fuel pump/fuel rail, with full WELDINA NE-1 exhaust.

Before doing that the injector is about to maxing out about 1 bar on stock turbo.

My question are:

* Is it safe to drive the car hard for the current mod? (new mod's on the way)

* What is the consequence of maxing out the injectors with a bigger turbo? is it going to damage the engine in any way?

* What happens if I increased the boost to 1.2 bar with stock injectors?

The car is not even on road yet so all these questions are hypothetical. however I would really appreciate if I get some answers.

Thanks.

Maxing out the injectors means that they cannot flow or add any more fuel to compensate for the increased air flow when u turn up the boost so the engine will lean out and guess what.....BANG!!!!

Turn down the boost to 10-11 psi and u "should" be good until an injector AND ecu upgrade

Got pfc. 550cc injectors are on the way. are they big enough for -7?

Also wondering which is more harmful to the engine: too much air or too much fuel?

"Give me your R34 GTR, you don't deserve it." :/

Seriously...

550cc will be good enough for pump...if u have plans to go E85 u might need to go bigger

Too much air with not enough fuel....as in your case

lol we all stay up a bit late...

Bosch 044 + 550cc will be the fuel set up.

E85, is it road legal? i'm not sure just asking...

i was running -7's on my gtr on the stock ecu and stock injectors for quite some time and it was fine, it was tad on the rich side though

good to know snozzle. thanks for the info.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
