Before i buy injectors and fuel pump etc and leave the car for tuning, which size of injectors would you go for? 

I think i want to run as low power as i can with the GT28-5 turbos. But would be nice to have some room for more maybe. 
I have OEM injectors refurbished and cleaned but they wont probably be enough as someone mentioned here before?
 

Fuelpump about 255l/h - 340l/h?

something else you would change before tuning the car?

Setup:

Rb26dett with

-twin GT28-5 turbo

-JE-pistons 8.2:1

-Eagle H-Beam rods

-ACL race main and rod bearings

-Oil pump collar installed

-Older verision of LINK G4 ECU

Why are you choosing to go with such low compression?

I actually dont know. These was ordered from Realstreetperformance, and i belive i had these recommended by them but i could be wrong. Could be the the guy building the engine that told me to get these ones as well.

Assume you have the ballast delete and a new AIT sensor? Plus someone who can tune TPS?

Thank you for the reminder about the ballast delete. 

AIT? Do you mean intake air temperature sensor? 

Well, i guess the tuner can tune the TPS 😬

Just go straight for 1000cc Bosch ID14s from somewhere reputable. A ~340L/h TI pump would be fine. Wired properly, of course.

Okey, thank you. How lower power could i run with the 1000cc:s do you think? How much power can the engine handle? I do not want to push anything. :)

I will re-wire the fuelpump! Thanks for the reminder.

Stock. If it will idle on an injector (and of course, with a decent computer, the engine will idle on 1000s) then it can run ANY power level above that (up to the limit of the injector capacity, of course).

Most of your list of engine mods would contribute to being able to run up to the limit of what the turbos can provide - except for one thing. I would not attempt to do so without a significant oil pump upgrade, and then paying attention to the engine breathing and oil draining situation - as per the oil control thread (or the last 100-150 pages of it anyway).

Send them back and get a higher cr.

Yes for the air inlet temp and not what I meant for the tune. See here. Some tunas talk a good game but individual throttle body tunes are beyond them. Where abouts in the world are you?

I would prefer being able to stop for fuel anywhere I like rather than the fuel stations with E85 being 15-20km apart.

Hence full flex allows just that, depending on fuel choice your power will vary.

When you feel like a 20 year old fuccboiiii and want to race people on the street or actually go to a race track then fill it up with E85 then top up the tank with 98RON for your commute with whatever ethanol is left.

Exactly what I do having the cars on flex, and I live somewhere where E85 has to be drummed up.

True that so many tuners want to try to tune individual throttle RB26s with MAP because they don't understand TPS fuel load and then get poor results.

One of the many reasons I went to Simon at Morpowa as one of the few who I had confidence in to do it on fuel TPS load with the Haltech.

Is there any good reason for this? It's too late to send them back, the engine is built awhile ago already.

Well if the motor is built then it's built. 

There are many good reasons for higher compression ratio though, more power at all rpm, increased turbo spool, better off boost performance, more low end torque.... I could keep thinking of ways to say "the engine will perform better, everywhere" but you get the idea.

Yeah, i was sitting here and realise that. Well this car got really shitty.. wrong turbo setup, wrong pistons, ecu, etc etc..

 

i guess i have to ask the engine builder about this, cause for some reason he installed them and this guy is really good with what he's doing.

Turbos are fine, just a bit old school as the hipsters have diluted their gtr purity and gone for singles. They are still good units, however and the blokes with ponytails and beige Volvo dailies can get stuffed.

‘The ecu is a good ecu. You just need a good tuna to tune it. My point wasn’t to put down the setup just to highlight you need someone familiar with rb’s and their idiosyncrasies.

.3:1 isn’t earth shattering on the cr. Certainly nothing E85 won’t compensate for in spades if you go that way.

So yeah don’t get negative about it. It will work fine and be loads of fun. FWIW I’ve got -5 turbos and a Link ecu.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
