How is it you are getting over 300kws with 444c injectors? Plenty of rail pressure? No denying the thing is running great times

I don't get it either, it's a complete mystery to me too, i'm running the stock rail and regulator, whats really gonna freak s*** out and when I say my stand alone is telling me I'm running 50% duty on these injectors at an A/F of 11.7 constant throughout the revs up to 8K, lmfao. They were sold to me as OEM R32 GTR injectors, they look it, yellow top feed Nissan inj.....

either way that's some top results dude

i think the only quicker rb20 i've heard of was a jap one in a gts4 that took out it's class in some drag battle over there

that was doing high 9s lol

aussies got to get our shit together and play catchup!

awesome work :happy:

Definitely not stockers then. :happy:

My 444cc injectors flow tested up as 480cc with 40psi base and 100% duty.

On the dyno they max'd out at ~250rwkw and required a 1point afr drop on idle (15:1 to 14:1) via the nismo adj fpr; it then grabbed 268rwkw on from memory 85% duty. The Z32 is swallowing ~4.75volts.

As the old rule goes.. 444cc is around 450 crank hp; 450hp is around 260rwkw (depending on dyno); mine were maxed with a 11.5:1 afr at 250rwkw and required more pressure; pump is a new bosch 044 mounted internal and larger 300zx/gtr filter.

Nothings iffy with it; on the same dyno my rb20det injectors were at 100% duty for a little over 180rwkw to hold a 12:1 afr.

Another blokes rb20det with std injectors managed 190rwkw but the afr's were creeping close to the 14's.

Sky30's old RB30DET at 312rwkw was at around 85% duty on his 550cc's, then there was rbmans rb30det which was around 230-240rwkw and was nearing 90% duty with gtr injectors also. All on the same dyno.

In saying that I suspect that a car that makes more torque requires more fuel for a given power level as it will tend to make its peak power at an earlier rpm.

If a motor makes the same peak power at 6000rpm vs one at 8000rpm from what I've seen the 6000rpm peak power requires a little more fuel.

AD4M, where does yours make its peak power?

FASTRB20 THAT IS AWESOME !!!

Have you got a dyno graph? What other plans have you got in mind for the beast?

Also what sort of compression are you running? With a 1.2mm gasket would it raise much?

afr's sit on mid to low 11s at first and the power dies off in the top end because it has alot of fuel dumped to keep the motor alive and topples below 10afrs.

I have a worthy RB20 to add to the list, but i would be cheating some, my donor chassis is a 2520lbs 240sx (2700 w/me in it) hehehehe, managed a 11.07 at 128.8mph, 1.521 '60 at low boost (22psi), and from experience, I'm well over 300kw at the rear wheels

the 11.07 run, 1.521 '60: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/19672bf...99e00b51eab.htm

an earlier run 11.48 at 114mph, 1.524 '60 : http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a8b026e...98e0175d428.htm

running slicks of course, 26 X 8.5 X R15

I'll be crancking the boost some this summer with a few more mods, looking to be in the deep 10's, how low i'm curious

Sylvain

Please excuse me, but I am a facts based realist and, as the guys on here know, I tell it like I see it.

No way it's got 300 rwkw with standard R32GTR injectors at standard fuel pressure, my experience tells me that there is no magic when it comes to engines.

Some further evidence;

The ET indicates ~220 rwkw

The TS indicates ~190 rwkw

The dicrepancy (220 versus 190) is due to the use of drag slicks on what is most likely a prepared track

Cheers

While I am in a realist mood, let's move on to this one.

The ambient temperature is 21 degrees and the inlet air temp is 33 degrees. That's a 12 degree correction factor, rule of thumb 8 degrees is worth around 5%, so the 405 rwhp is really 374 rwhp or 279 rwkw.

Cubes observation that "a car that makes more torque requires more fuel for a given power level as it will tend to make its peak power at an earlier rpm" is pretty close. Perhaps a better explanation would be that the maximum injector flow rate determines the maximum torque output. Since horsepower is simply torque X rpm, the higher rpm (lower torque) would allow slightly more horsepower with the same injector sizing.

Back to the car at hand, I have never seen a GTR make more than a genuine 265 rwkw with standard injectors. The extra 14 rwkw (265 versus 279) could be put down to the "Cubes" effect and/or the slightly lower drivetrain losses in AD4M's case.

As I said, no magic in engines.

Cheers

Gary

Well i know im about to max out my injectors at 260rwkws an i need to up my feul rail pressure, in which case i know several GTRs that are all making 300odd (ball park) on std injectors and have been doing do for 2 or so years. Still bigger injectors are the way to go when i can afford them.

Then i can wind the boost up to 24 psi and see if i can get a little more mumbo in the mid range.

Also SK, the TS indicates only 190rwkws? He ran 128mph! With 215rwkws i was only running 112mph. And re AD4M dyno figure. Its a dyno figure so whatever, i always thought it was normal that inlet temp is 10-20deg C higher then the ambient.

Also SK, the TS indicates only 190rwkws? He ran 128mph! With 215rwkws i was only running 112mph......

I'm with him, i've been around drag cars for a while now (dozen yrs or so), and seeing someone pulling off 130mph trap speeds with a 2720lbs car with only 254-295rwhp (190-220rwkw) is not realist to me...I'm curious to know where you dug up these numbers from Sydneykid, they make no sense....and yes I know that running stock GTR injectors and making this much power makes no sense either, I don't know more than you do on that note...

Thx , appreciate it :)

I have yet done dyno runs, the 1/4 runs were done on simple road tunning. Since i'm running the stock exhaust manifold I would like to see what improovement I would get using an aftermarket tubular manifold. For the compression ratio, since the stock headgasket is 0.9-1.0MM thick and smaller bore than the Tomei gasket, it drops the compression ratio down some, did not bother doing the maths to know exactly what it is but i'm guessing it ain't much.

It's in a lightweight 240SX, not an full weight R32GTST like yours. Take 200 kgs out and see how fast your's goes.

And re AD4M dyno figure. Its a dyno figure so whatever, i always thought it was normal that inlet temp is 10-20deg C higher then the ambient.

Why? Because some guys typically stick the DD temp probe behind the radiator to inflate the power figures. Was the dyno run done with the bonnet open? Usually, so the tuner can listen for detonation. So why the hell should the inlet air temp be higher than the ambient?

its still 2720 lbs,

meh!! after all this, finding out power output is an estimation, either mathematically found by the car's weight, trap speed & ET (which from my and a dozens other's calculations say that my engine develops in excess of 400rwhp) or from a dyno pull which I have not done yet, but still no method is precise, so there, we can speculate all we want, we will never know the truth of it...,

nismo make yellow 555cc gtr injectors

the simple answer is often the truth

This is interesting info....

Im just going on the observation of the probe i used to have on the foam HKS air filter i had. It always ran about 15deg C (traffic, 10ddeg C higher on the highway) above what the air con was indicating for an ambient temp. That was with a shield, so with the bonnet up or down it wasnt making much difference to the temps, be it on the dyno or on the open road.

But interesting to note that the figure could be a few ponies optimistic....a 12 flat in a manual RB20 means more to me then any dyno figure anyway.

Im still in the midst of my rb20det build but checkout this guy whose selling a R32 GTS-T with a rb20det on ebay with what appears to be a stock bottom and top end with stock intake manifold and claims to have made 503hp at 14psi but has it at 3 right now.

what do you think, i think he just made a number and realized it was a time bomb and got scared. Damn nice interiour though.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
