What seems to be the max safe power limit of 1000cc injectors with e85 on a rb26?

Running stock rail pressure (stock fuel reg.)

It's weird cos some results show well over 400rwkw, others only mid to high 300kws

I know you won't be able to tell exactly how much, but are they good enough for around 380-400rwkw ?

As long as your fuel pump is up to scratch, 400rwkw is just under safe limits for E85 on 1000cc injectors.

Easiest way to work it out is this: (keep in mind that this is factoring in all variables and should be considered as a safe estimate)

E85 -

Total cc's / 11 = whp (eg. 1000cc x 6 injectors = 6000cc / 11 = 545hp)

Pump 98 -

Total cc's / 8 = whp (eg. 1000cc x 6 injectors = 6000cc / 8 = 750hp)

Beautiful that's of great help !

Gonna run the new walbro e85 415lph pump with direct power feed and chunky cables

wont have an issue, they seem to be a good thing so far, used around 20-25 without issue. Nice and easy to fit dual intank in a GTR too for 500

+ kw setups.

seems like im on the right path....

a mate has some "bosch indy white" 1600cc injectors, they are low impedance/11mm top o-ring so should be direct fit, are they worth grabbing ?? his willing to give em to me for pretty cheap (of coarse im going to get them ultrasonicaly cleaned and flow tested before install plus new o-rings)

Indy blue and whites are rubbish to tune with. I really don't think people know just how good the latest ev14 style injectors are. I wouldn't consider anything else if your looking at 1000's or above.

We have had some issues with the bosch EV14s lately and I know a big name shop who also has a box of dead ones they've pulled from a number of cars.

They've cost me an engine and almost lost a race engine for the other shop.

Were they cleaned and flowed before use?

Old ones were fine, most recent batch seem to work when they feel like it and lose random amounts of flow at random times.

Don't know what causes it, haven't really looked too far into it yet.

We only buy matched sets with flow reports.

All the failures were with brand new units.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
