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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
