hi all

i have a RB20DET with stock turbo which i want to upgrade to something similar to a HKS2530 etc...

i have a fuel pressure regulator, 600hp walhbro fuel pump, 440cc GTR injectors, 3.5 inch exhaust, and FMIC. i am going to get the new turbo and a Z32 AFM installed and get my ecu re-mapped. i was wondering would there be a major difference if i kept the 440cc injecotrs in or should i upgrade to 550cc injectors? what sort of difference in power (kw) would there be if any? just guessing obviously....

any info on which way i should go would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

chris

Why would the bigger injectors give you any extra power? As long as the GTR ones can flow enough to get the right amount of fuel in, there's no point in upgrading again? Maybe decreased fuel efficiency?

As always, correct me if I'm wrong...

oh... :)

i was always under the impression that i needed bigger injectors to get bigger power figures...

hence why i thought if i put 550cc injectors in i would get a bigger power figure instead of the 440cc

airflow makes power, not fuel. you need more air into the system to make more power. once you put in more air, youll need to add in more fuel, otherwise youll max out your injectors. so no injectors wont add any power, but will allow your system to safely run more

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
