My car is leaning out so instead of cleaning out the stock injectors I figure buy another set that is slightly bigger.

I believe the stock are 370cc. Can I fit bigger injectors that are around 450cc or 500cc? I'm not ready for a new ecu and tune yet.

I figure the computer should be able to adjust for the extra fuel slightly and If its running a big rich that's ok cos I have the boost higher and the car is running lean as it is anyway.

Anyone have any direct bolt in recomendations?

Rich and Retard is just the top corners of the fuel and ignition maps being very rich and very retarded (respectively). If you are running enough boost to go up to those parts of the maps you will be in R&R regardless of what your oxy sensor says (and the oxy sensor has nothing to say about it unless you're on cruise anyway - no effect at medium+ loads).

If you put in 400cc injectors it will be richer. At cruise the oxy sensor (assuming it's functional) will dial back the extra, but under load it will be rich. If you're already running up into the R&R part of the map this will not be a good idea.

If you actually are leaning out, then have you looked into the health of your fuel pump?

Thats exactly what I want, richer. Its currently running lean and pinging.

Yes I have. That was the first thing I did. Ive tried 3 different new fuel pumps, now on walbro 255 voltage modded.

These plugs were only exposed to stock boost levels for a month or so. As low as my boost controller goes. about 6-7 psi. The car doesnt ping at this level, but does higher.

I cant really tell if the car is hitting R&r but i haven't noticed any retardation or richness or loss of power. i have turned the boost way up past 14-15 and I hit the AFM cut-off where the car suddenly jerks with a loss of power, but my problems are not anywhere near that level.

This is on an R33? Smart move is to not try to run more than stockish boost until you can actually take control of this shit, otherwise you are inviting trouble.

Problem with running 400cc injectors where you are running lean on 370s is......do you only need 385 to get you back into the right range and therefore will the extra several % fueling you get make it too rich? Or is 400 not enough? You simply don't know. It's best to do this stuff properly. Pick injectors with headroom and change the tune.

Yes this is on a r33 gts-t

I would love to do new ECU +tune. The problem is that opens the door to another 3-4 k cost minimum, which I cant do. So its this or nothing.

So what if its running a tiny bit rich? I don't see the huge problem especially since I can turn the boost up to compensate. I have already checked my ecu+AFM doesn't go crazy until about 13-14 psi which I'm more than happy with.

Rich for a change may be good.

I remember seeing 200sx injectors were a drop in upgrade or something like that.

you don't have to do everything at once just tune at your current limits i would be more concerned if you want to make the car more fun in a manual conversion

the standard rb25 injectors are 370 side feed high impedance sr turbo injectors are the same

my experience is with an rb20 going from the standard 270s to 315cc as a replacement it didn't like it

just wire in an additional injector into cooler piping or some thing. Old school fuel tech.

not really sure how that would work on a mostly stock rb25?

Vorse. Looked into this . Yes most of SR turbo are 370cc, except for the manual S15s. Spec R are 480cc and the Spec S 440cc. They are a direct fit for the Rb25. This is what I was thinking of.

oh man you are so off... S15's run 448cc injectors 3 bar pressure, because Nissan revised the base fuel pressure in the S15 it increased the overall flow to 480cc.

Spec R and Spec S run the same motor, same injectors, same everything (ADM)

Spec R is Turbo, Spec S is N/A (JDM)

and don't be stupid, and how would the stock ECU know there are larger injectors OR how would it compensate for it? (according to your theory).. come on bro, this isn't streetcommodore backyard bogan tuning :)

if your car is leaning out and pinging off it's tits, there's someone else that is wrong with it, stock ECU will never run lean, go bang on a wideband on your exhaust and find out actually how it's running...

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

buy and ecu and tune or buy a corrolla. you either want performance or you dont.

Very nice attitude. Hows the view from up there? I actually think I've seen you make similar comments a number of times in the past, but don't quote me on that.

Wanting the car to run right at 7-10 psi i.e mostly stock is not asking for anything special. I don't think its unreasonable to want the stock tune to handle that. I see it done all the time.

In addition, do you realize the kind of people that are now buying skylines, especially r33s gts's? They treat them like absolute crap and they are bought and sold for chips. They are treated as next to worthless. If you should be talking down to anyone, its them, not the people that actually want to take care of them. If I sell it and buy a corolla as you suggest the car will probably end up in a scrap yard.

:pwned:

here a crazy idea, clean your injectors, cost less than 200$ and may just solve all your problems...

Yup I've already been advised of this and thats definitively what I'll most likely do. I just wanted to know instead of blowing the money on a clean if I could get a small upgrade at the same time. Thus the reason for this thread.

buy a new fuel pump too

Already done and fitted.

here's a thought, why don't you use a timing gun and see if your timing is set correctly.. maybe some wannabe tuner advanced the crap out of the CAS :)

Its possible, but unlikely. I actually have managed to convince myself the timing is ok via Nissan consult. It mostly sits on 15 at idle, the reading sometimes flaps about from 0-15, but I tested another r34 and it was doing the same thing so I think its normal. Theres a thread about it I've made on SAU i think.

As for the ecu knowing about the injectors. Your right, it woudlnt. I was wondering that too because I have heard the ECU can adjust timing and duty cycle a certain amount But if the 02 sensor only works at idle, the ECU would have to be going purely of programmed stock maps with all stock parts.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
