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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
