Rebuilding my motor and wanting to up the power to high 200rwkw. I am looking at getting some bigger injectors but i was wondering what these would do to my fuel economy as my car is a daily driver.

Questions are;

What i really want to know is it posible to have 280odd rwkw and still get any where near the 500km out of a tank that i get on long trips and 420 odd around town.

What size injectors?

I am also not sure of what turbo to run i was thinking about the GT30 just not sure how laggy these are ?

Is it possible to have these sort of figures and have something that has a bit of grunt down low cause i dont want to be waiting till 4500rpm till it comes on boost.

And last but not least are these cheap IC that just jap is selling able to flow these figures that i want .

If anyone is able to help with any of these questions or ideas that can get me to 280- 300 rwkws it would be great. :confused:

pwer only comes from the fuel you burn, so more power = more fuel consumption.

the bigger injectors by themselves would not change your economy, everything else unchanged, they would just be open for a shorter time and let the same amount of fuel through. However, your economy is greatly controlled by your right foot, go easy on the accelerator, and it'll be heaps cheaper to run....

280-300rwkw hey... that's plenty of power.. you mite need to consider going tuff internals like forged pistons and other things.

but yeah.. more powa more fuel.. your engine will always go thirsty after every grunt of powa.

750cc is recomended for 300rwkw.. and 044 fuel pump . aftermarket computer and alot of other things but most importantly.. DOH-- alot of DOH involve.

good luck.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
