250rwkw is dangerous on the R33 320/370cc items.

I've known rb20 injectors to be pushed to 243rwkw on 17psi of boost.

The car went on to run 12.8, I can't remember the TS. :(

It was Clint32's old 'street' R32 before he attacked it. :D

I don't want to start a dyno argument here, but...............

12.8 for 1/4 = 311 horsepower using the heaviest weight I have ever seen an R32GST plus 120 kgs for the driver. That's around 180 rwkw, which is what I would expect out of a set of standard RB20DET injectors wiht a bit of extra fuel pressure.

Therein lies the problem, I see all sorts of miraculous horsepower claims from standard injectors. But when we run the car on another dyno or down the 1/4 they amazingly come back to what the calculator says they should make.

:D

I'm all too aware of different dyno figures.

Especially the difference between corrected (shootout) and non shootout mode read outs.

Next tune I will have this done on Boostworx dyno. Lets see if the shootout mode reads higher. :D

I suspect it will.

Exactly why I stated the power figures. :(

The car also wasn't kicking you in the arse until 5000rpm.

So you think my 176rwkw with basically 100% duty cycle is around the mark? :D

I can't see my bosch pump having issues supplying fuel at that power, especially considering its only using 9psi to make that power.

But.. you never know.

Sydneykid - fyi there is no way in hell an R32 with 180rwkw is going to do a 12.8. Not even close. Maybe a low 13, but not in the 12's. My S15 with 195rwkw ran 12.74 @110mph with a very good 1.94 60'.

"the obvios answer tho is if you want to make over 200rwkw its alot safer to upgrade your injectors etc"

If thats the obvious answer then the answer to your thread is obvious.

As I mentioned I made 187rwkw and I got a call from the tuner ( I said I would be happy with 200rwkw) telling me I could have my 200rwkw if I wanted an a/f ratio in the 13s but he wasnt going to take it there.

After a long drawn out slog which I wont get into in this thread I got my car back today with 235rwkw (rb20) using 510cc injectors,standard reg and a GTR pump.

I have seen up to 80 psi on the fuel gauge under full load/boost, and have not had any problems with fuel leaks in nearly 3 years and 50,000km while my car has ran high pressure.

I dont see the point in him upgrading his injectors if he can acheive the power he wants with the stock ones, he has said in post `1' he would rather not upgrade due to lack of $$$.

It's not "my" 180 rwkw, I just used the trusty (well sort of) Moroso Horsepower calculator. It says 311 bhp, and based on my trusty (very) calcs that's 180 rwkw. Blaim Mr Morsoso not me. :P

BTW, our R34GTT ran an 11.9 (at 120 mph) with 265 rwkw, which is within 20 bhp of the horsepower Mr Moroso reckons it would need to do those numbers.

I think it comes back down to the old 'Average' power

Yes, I reckon it does :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

I run 114mph with 215rwkws, and there are cars at the drags running 11s with 108mph:(

If you need to get a major clean up of the tune id say grab the injectors (may mean saving up). If the bloke tuning it says std injectors are ok, and he will stand by his tune then i would begin to consider...the guy tuning should have the final say as you dont want to turn around and cook a motor and have him say "i said you needed injectors":(

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
