Mine has made 200rwkw (197,200,200 on three seperate dyno's) on standard injectors. I must admit though, the tune was quite lean. It has got a Bosch 040 in tank pump, and no form of fuel pressure adjustment apart from what the pump delivers. Dunno how, as your calculations seem to point to them being un-able to make that sort of power?

P.S -thats my qoute about the 18psi :D

@ 100% duty i.e. not giving the injectors enough time to open and close and given you only have less than 40kw loss...yes this is possible!

But highly not recommended 90% is still OK...but tuners will do it at 60-70% duty, over here anyway.

My bet is that isn't far from the truth, its the most feasable and lateral answer to the question :D If that was the case, there is bound to be a few more around

Most people's injectors are covered with a bit of filth and are hard see without removing them, I will keep a eye out for other RB20 injectors and see if I can find another!

If they were CA or GTR injectors, there would be a ballast resistor attached to the loom somewhere, so I stand by what I reckon - ran out of red colouring! :)

I am pretty sure they where near on 100%, as soon as the fuel filter became the slightest bit of dirty, it would suffer light detonation - new fuel filter and some injector cleaner in the tank and all would be good

The car would backfire and flame alot when I came of the throttle, suggesting to me the injectors where working 100% of the time and there would be a little bit of fuel still entering the cylinders after I had lifted of the throttle

hopefully the new injectors will need no more than 60% to make 200odd rwkw

What injectors did you go Chris?

 

Let me know how the fuel consumption goes with them. :D

I went 440cc GTR in the end, and wired in the resistor pack etc, I figured it would be plenty for my RB20

So far with the PFC closed loop function, fuel economy is around 10 litres per 100km, about a litre per 100 better than with the re-programmed ECU :D The PFC closed loop function is first class, providing it is setup right

In the injector correction section (cant remember exactly) there is a correction and lag setup, if you work out the percentage differance from stock and enter this value in - for me it was 58.5% and the injector lag time, in my case -.12ms, it runs better than ever before and delivers quite good economy

The injector lag/cc table for standard nissan stuff can be found here - http://www.ap-engineering.co.jp/el/inj_top.htm

Its being tuned shortly for more boost etc, but hopefully the economy will remain similar providing I dont use the loud pedal too often :)

The most common upgrade for RB20's are the 444 cc GTR injectors, with the GTR resistor pack to match the impedance, they are a good choice at realtively low cost as there are many around.

:P

In practice, what is the maximum power achieved with 444cc GTR injectors? I am searching through the forums right now, but may as well ask at the same time.

Reason being, I am going shopping for some parts on the weekend and there doesnt seem to be much price difference between R34 GTR injectors or aftermarket 550cc injectors here in Japan, so I could go either way. I do not want excessively large injectors though and my realistic power goal is 250rwkw from my RB30DET.

Opinions on this choice with fuel economy and idle in mind?

EDIT: Found it ~270rwkw. Opinions still welcome.

    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
    • So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.
    • that’s the thing i’m on ID1050s and haltech not getting power due to the injector resistor 
    • ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size. 
    • My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
