Injector duty


Recommended Posts

KillerT,

Fitting the Malpassi is pretty straight forward, just need to choose an appropriate mounting location for it. I can post some pics of mine if you need a good layout and location of all of the lines. No you won't need any retune, the car should behave identically it just won't run out of pressurised fuel. I have mine set to about 30psi, you will need to increase this as your power increases, too ensure sufficient fuel pressure at all times.

Macka,

It looks like project, "Up boost", has been green lighted. Need the clutch before you give it more power?

See'ya:burnout:

about compression ,On my civic i was running a comp ratio of 10.4. With a t3 and 14psi ,that's on stock internals ,The key is tunning .higher comp just means less room for tunning mistakes.That's why i had to decomp it cause every1 was too scared to tune it (unless i sent it to the states where 600hp honda' run a comp of 11.4 with t66's on 20psi)so now with lower comp it makes it heaps better to tune but i lost a fair bit of power :mad:

If someone can tune it for u then do it but not without a good comp like a motec.

But on the other hand my civic has a almost perfect rod stroke ratio,im not to sure if skylines do or not .

I think Macka was already having difficulty with the tuning, therefore relying on the ROM might have been pushing it. It seems that the consensus is that he will have no problems at that boost level, so once he has the clutch don we will expect big things.

I would have thought any 600hp car would have used forged internals? I think the Skylines are under square for bore/stroke, hence the reason you have to rev them hard to get power.

Ok so a Malpassi rise rate fuel regulator will help me.Are they hard to fit your self or am i going to have to put it on a dyno for a fuel remap

You will probably like to have a remap so you can get the fuel pressure setting right for the duty cycle you want.

If you put the rising rate on it will load up the fuel pump more, decreasing its maximum flow volume as the pressure is raised. I say the pump you fitted will do very well all the same with the power you have.

550's take the stain off the pump because you don't need anywhere near as much baseline fuel pressure as the stockies and therefore your fuel pump will live longer, having a lower duty cycle.

Rev210/KillerT,

In general unless your planning on raising the fuel pressure through the roof then it won't need retuning. The fuel pump won't be loaded up suffciently much to warrant this, none of the people that we have put it on bothered, and the cars run just fine.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
