I spose it depends on how your tuner tunes.

I get tuned by the same guy as Steveo, running ID 2000's and i'm sitting at 71% DC to make 430 RWKW. Too rich? Possibly? Do we care? Not in the slightest.

Bumping up the pressure might be a way around this, but then you stress the pumps more.

:yes:

Why not just run a Greddy plenum? They have a loyal following with the drag GTR fraternity in Aus/Japan and NZ so you cant go too far wrong with one

I was hoping for something other than Japanese :)

Looks like adding the bungs to the stock plenum will be perfect, so I'll do that.

Only 40-odd rwkw increase with doubling of injector size?? Need an estimate of DC, at least, Steve as they should handle anything any pair of low mounts can throw a them.

700 to 1000......that's not double ;)

I dont like to guess things - thats for idiots to do who dont try things for themselves and just believe whats written on the internet. Im dealing with the fact, so when i'm out there next i'll find the exact number. Not that it matters for this thread mate - i'll post results when it's all finished, nothing until it's all done though. :)

Edit; This is all for a new engine I've got, and yeah without sounding like a prick, it's pretty clear that what applies to a normal 2.6L RB doesnt apply to this one - and I'm getting pretty keen to drive it. I know you know that feeling as well as I do!

Could it be the fuel pumps aren't enough? You guys are still on standard 5/16" fuel lines yeah? I could be not enough fuel getting to the rail so needs a heap of duty to compensate?

2 x 044's feeding through their own lines to twin entry rails. So two lines up and one return. Fuel pressure throughout the dyno sessions are logged and nothing's wrong there. Maybe in the future it "could" be an issue with the different fuels (not using just E85 and pump 98) i'll be trying on it so it's a wait and see kind of thing. That said, if fuel pressure is low, the ECU has provisions for that anyway.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll close this now as there's nothing really left to talk about before this gets into a "my tuner says" "his tuner says" kind of thing regarding DC and as mentioned, I don't care about fuel usage :)

Cheers

-Steve

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
