lets use a real life example here...

paul diemar with his drag car TWOOGLE;

when he had the car tuned with the standard head it was within duty cycle of his injectors.

he then had head work done which gave him similar peak power, however, the torque increased substantially.

as a result, he maxed out his injectors & upgraded these to suit.

i only wish he was still on this forum to set the record straight :(

Marko I think you're just getting confused mate.

I don't doubt Paul made more torque with the mods he made. And what he was saying was that he was making more torque "at a given revs or range", ie he was making more horsepower at that rpm range. And if you are making more horsepower (as a result of more torque) then you need more fuel.

So the point is: Its not a RB30 that 'needs bigger injectors' because of the extra torque it makes.

Based on that theory, a 510 Cube V8 making shitloads of torque but only 400hp needs bigger injectors than all of us!

Also think about this. You sometimes hear people say 600cc Injectors can support X amount of 'horsepower' (ie Torque x RPM). You never hear people say 600cc injectors support x amount of 'torque'.

Here is another example.. suppose you have two motors, an RB26 and an RB30 that both make the same Horsepower. But that the RB30 makes more torque (usually at lower revs right?)

Lets say the RB26 makes 400ft/lb of torque at 8000rpm. HP = Torque x RPM / 5252.. therefore about 609hp.

Lets say the RB30 makes 500ft/lb of torque at 6400rpm. Do the Maths = about 609hp.

The RB30 makes more torque, but it only needs the same injectors to support 609hp.

What Paul was telling you (most likely) was that he now made even more than 500ft/lb of torque at 6400rpm (and therefore made more horsepower) which of course requires more fuel. (Obviously Paul makes more than that - I am just using the figures from the example I made up)

Make sense?

Well theory and flow charts are fine and can be helpful but I'll just reiterate that two different top tuners (one a Japanese tuner who gets most of the best GTRs in NZ and the other a very experienced RB man with a 7 second R32) both of whom use hub dynos and all the gear ( including fuel pressure gauges - can't believe the number of posts I've seen here of people saying the tuner "thinks there may be a fuel problem" - doesn't he know how to tell?) are independently saying when tuning between 300 - 400kw that for a single in tank pump the Nismo ones don't hack it and the O44 do.

Cylinder filling is at max at max torque, therefor there is the most amount of air in the cylinder and requires MORE fuel to achieve the same afr.

So the more the engine can fill (cubic inches and boost etc) the more air is in and more fuel is required.

Max injector duty cycle should be at max torque

You are forgetting that the cylinder will be filled more times per minute at higher revs. Demand for fuel will increase (more duty cycle) but increase in demand will not be linear if torque drops off so duty cycle curve should have more in common with power curve than torque curve.

But to get back to reading what the OP said: his tuner told him that the Nismo was running out of puff but when he hooked up a 040 it went fine. How can you argue with that? Do you want him to tell the tuner " other people can do it why can't you"?Although I would get a 044 intank.

no, max injector opening time is at max torque. max IDC is at max power, assuming of course that AFR's and timing are normal.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
    • Join SAU NSW for a flame-grilled feed & flame-spitting cruise!

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
