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?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
