Injector duty


Recommended Posts

Guest KILLER-T

Hi Meggala the car has 228 kw and had the rev limiter set to 6500 rpm on the dyno because i was a bit worried about blowing the new engine but i have had it for a while and i have a bit more faith in it so i have lifted the rev limit to 7500 rpm and thats why im asking about the injectors. So 85% is ok hey would a fuel reg help me get a bit more out of it

Yeah put a adj fuel reg in then wind the boost up abit more.

Thats what im gonna do altho cant boost it much more with the standard guts maybe 16psi wid dat turbo i have.

Cheers

Heya Macka,

Isn't 16psi a bit too much without forged pistons? I know with the PSI hybrid turbo Brett was saying not too push it too much over 14psi without having forged pistons......or say bye to the engine after a while kinda thing??

Macka/25GTT,

I have already warned Macka against running too high boost, but in his quest for more power he will push his engine to its limits. I wouldn't run more than 14psi, and I'm getting my forgies in soon, so I can tell you the total cost of pistons plus fitting.

KillerT,

I use a fuel pressure regulator, and it will extend your fuel system for a bit more power, but it is not the best way. Save up for some bigger injectors and fuel pump if your planning on more power, don't run past 90% duty cycle.

See'ya:burnout:

Hang on fellas.....

U cant just jump in and point the finger.

skylines high compression means that 15psi is about max for the engine...causing stress on alot of stuff with the high combustion pressures

I have a decompressed head running 8.5:1 and retarded timing.

Alot of skylines are running 18psi on standard pistons if u are looking out for them!

16psi would only be for the drags I run 12psi day to day anyway so the risk is GREATLY REDUCED!

You run 16 all day it aint gonna last long for sure..

Hi Macka,

We're not having a go, and I know that is what you told me before, but even with lower compression there is the chance. If it was me I'd go for it, but if you do blow a piston then the results could be very expensive. We're just looking out for your wallet, which could suffer the most.

Yes 16psi could run fine for many years at the drags, or the engine could go bang, less likely but it is a possibility.

The main reason we siad not to do it is cause we don't want oil down on the track.(J/K):)

Do it, run 16psi, it's the only way to prove your right.

See'ya:burnout:

Why does everyone automatically think larger injectors are required at the limits of duty cycle.

Why not increase the pressure behind the injector. Higher pressure will cause more fuel to be injected at a given duty cycle.

I've read somewhere of someone who tried larger injectors (on a Falcon, I think), and found that the fuel delivery was pretty poor because of the required shorter duty cycle. The car actually lost power. Refitted the original injectors and upped the fuel pressure and picked up power.

Hey paul......

If shes gonna blow on 16 shes gonna blow on 14, 2psi isnt alot.

I have to wait till me head mech comes back from England before i start getting too serious :) If a piston blows now i just throw a cover over it for 6 months :)

Let us know what sort of price you get your reg for Adam id like to know..

cheers

How much are the fuel pressure regulators worth? and are they an effort to fit?

Macka can you notice anything bad at all with the injectors at the moment? if not just for longevity go the fuel pressure regulator? just a suggestion.. could save you some $$$$ injectors could be close to maxing out but depends on how many more mods you wanna do i guess as to whether or not go the bigger injectors??

Yeah we are just trying to help you dude.... quite sometime ago at the drags i did see a white skyline that had turbo probs and smoke coming out of it,, the owner looked upset at the $$$ he would have to spend to fix it..... if i remember right the owners name was ummm....you:uh-huh: i just don't want to see that happen again to your pride and joy...

I have a Malpassi rise rate fuel regulator, approx. $220-240. There are more expensive ones, but for 600hp or less this is fine. They are easy to fit, most difficult bit is the mounting bracket.

The regulator will extend the amount of power your factory fuel system can support, but I'd still recommend bigger injectors and fuel pump aswell. I can get cheap 550cc injectors for you Macka, if you want.

When running higher horsepower 300+rwhp, then the pressure regulator is recommended so that there is not drop off in fuel at the rails, if this happens then bang, you engine has detonated.

Was that those bosch ones?

Ill try and push the envelope with the reg first Cheers Paul.

Dont forget the clutch isnt going to last on mine either :) but for now it seems to be hoilding up just a bit spongey! :burnout:

I'd recommend the twin over the singles any day. They are easy to drive and will bite hard with the extra power your planning on sqeezing out. A single 5 puck might last at your current power, but in the furture it would die a lonely death.

There is no reason that you cant run more than 16psi on an rb20, remember these run less compression than the rb25. Its all in the tuning, if there is no detonation the engine will be fine.

I am in the process of fitting a bigger turbo/intercooler/injectors and will run probably up to 18psi with it depending on the power it makes.

just so you guys know jms run a decompressed rb25 in their red car and that makes over 300 rwkw on stock internals the gtr runs similar compression and will hold 1.5 1.6 bar of boost the stock pistons are very similar to the rb25 ones. so 1.3 bar with a big turbo should be fine but not to drive with all day every day but when you need it. macka you knwo your stuff dr drift told me about your car I was to heard some times :mad:

cheers

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
