Good day all,

my mate has a Red Top SR20DET, offcourse with all the usual mods + PFC but for some reasons the injectors max out at only 9psi and hit 100% duty cycle already.

I forgot to mention its a 92model 180sx RED TOP. Meanwhile my other friend has a 95 model 200zx and making 187kw@wheels ( black top ) and runing 16psi and injectors only max out then.

i believe both engine has the same injectors rating, why one run 100% at only 9psi and other can reach up to 16psi?

can your injectors be so dirty, old to cause such consequensive or its the fuel pump?

One is tuned leaner than the other.

I am guessing that the pfc on the (redtop) car is running way to rich. Get the redtop car tuned properly and that won't happen.

Do you have a dyno sheet of the redtop car tuned? If you do, make sure the afrs are above 11.5 but under 12.0 roughly for a reliable street car.

I had the exact same problem with my redtop. Was maxxing out not only the injectors, but also the AFM at around 150rwkw. This wasn't so noticable in day-to-day driving, but at the strip it was causing me to back the boost right off. Have since changed to Z32 afm and 740cc injectors and have not looked back since.

I see, i thought injectors duty is somewhat we can input signals in and make them to work either 80% or 90% at certain points.

You can but its not quite as simple as that. You basically have two tables and a correction map for air density vs timing. One is for ignition timing and the other is for injector timing. With too much timing the car will have to run excessively rich not to ping and that is what I am guessing is happening to you.

Putting bigger injectors with the power you have is a band aid. The car will run WAY better getting in tuned with your existing injectors rather than buying bigger ones. Not only will it make more power being tuned with the existing injectors but it will also be much nicer to drive in terms of throttle response and the linear nature of the power delivery as well as using much less petrol.

Seriously get it tuned asap... You won't regret it ;) With the stock turbo your car should make around the 160-175rwkw mark. But all dynos will show slightly different figures. They are just tuning tools.

If your in sydney PM me and I will suggest a place to go who will do a good job. A proper tune is also cheaper than injectors as well!

Mine was tuned, but was still maxxing out (may have been the AFM reading well over 5000mv but yeah). Drivability is very nearly as good with my 740cc injectors and z32 afm, so I wouldn't worry too much if you decide to go bigger injectors.

Can't see how bigger injectors is a band-aid solution (considering you would get it tuned anyway). Band-aid solutions come when you adjust the fuel pressure to get more out the injectors.

    • Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting 
    • Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
    • If it does get a turbo it would blow the JCW Mini out of the water considering how "close" some of the tests were. Then again the Mini would probably get one of them Stage 69 tunes.
    • Next up, the extinguisher is mounted but really only temporary because I ran into clearance problems (the bracket fit fine....until I put an extinguisher on it). It picks up the seat bolt mounts but has long bolts running through 20mm spacers for now Doing it properly requires a bit of quick welding but I ran out of time, this will do for the practice day  
    • Family events weekend but a snuck a couple of things in. NSW state champs were down at Wakefield so I got Gordon Leven's to bring some A052s down in the right size for some spare rims I had that "fit" (actually ex-Leaf Nismo.Rays in 18x7.5). Tyres are 235/45/18 so they are narrower than stock (19x8.5s) but I need to keep road tyres on it for daily use for now. In a first, those weird size tyres had been in the yoko warehouse for so long (4.5 years apparently) that they offered 4 for the price of 2....so 4 practice tyres for about $1100. Bit of a bargain for sticker tyres, considering the real purpose of the practice day is mostly to see how the various temps go (and the weather is due to help, forecast 32o). In terms of race wheels, it looks like I should be able to fit 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears but 18 vs 19 height will be based on what tyres I can get in the right size - good tyres are very limited in available widths in diameters above 17" so some planning is needed. Once I'm sure this car will work I'll order a set of custom BC wheels like I did for the R32, you can get exactly the right width and offset to make the most of the available space in the wheel well (the 32 has 295s all round on 18x10s and they are awesome) Incidentally A052 are asymmetrical but not directional which is good news for rally use if the front and rear wheel sizes are different because I can swap them side to side on the same axle. Directional tyres are a nightmare with staggered size wheels because each tyre is fixed on that corner unless you can get it rotated on the rim (not really practical mid rally in most cases)
