There is a thing called:

Brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

It's a figure to describe how much fuel an engine needs to produce X amounts of power.

There is a calculator on this page ->

My (standard) injectors are now at 85% duty cycle, I am making about 330HP at the crank. (running at AFR of 11.7)

The mixture was starting to lean out already, so I have ordered new injectors.

From my personal experience the standard injectors can hold more than most think. As my 33 gtst is making 393hp@wheels on standard injectors...

For the dyno figure doubters it does 119mph down quarter..

Hmmm if you are finding that the fuel flow into the engine is levelling off at 85% IDC I'd consider looking at whats supplying fuel to the injectors more than the injectors themselves, personally - what pump is that with?

almost 300 rwkw? doubtful

119mph isn't a bad trap speed though, to be fair... though in saying that when you are limited by small injectors you can still make a car quite a bit faster than many would expect doing sneaky wee tricks. At lower rpm you have a longer pulse period, so you can actually move more fuel with an equivalent duty cycle.

As an example - I've tuned a Silvia running a G4 Link & boost control but still on stock injectors was quite held back, hitting 85% at 7000rpm at the boost level we were setting it up for. That boost level just wasn't going to do the setup justice, so I set up a "tapering" boost curve which resulted in a boost level some 6-7psi higher at 4500rpm than at redline and progessively dropping down... but injector duty cycles still never went over 85%. The resulting change in how the car performs is VERY substantial, torque wins races and hp sells cars?

    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
