i will have supporting mods like a fuel reg and fuel pump...would that make a difference. I plan to use this fuel setup for a GT3071 turbo.... I was kinda hoping that the standard injectors would do the job... final power output is 'planned' for around 275rwkw at something like 15psi.

No way will they handle that power with any sort of reasonable rail pressure.Spend the money and get some nismo 550's.

Dont skimp on injectors mate, no fuel = lean out, lean out = popped motor, popped motor = alot mor expensive than $750 for injectors.

Oh and forget the fuel pressure reg, you dont need it.

What spec'd 3071 are you going to use? I would imagine you would need a bit more than 15psi to get 275.

An injector is just a solonoid controlled valve which can flow a certain amount at a certain rail pressure. So technically you should be fine to run them all the way up to 100% duty cycle but that puts a fair bit of stress on them running such high frequencies and with no margin for error, well stolen_s15 has covered that. Their will always be real world variables (basic condition of you fuel system components) so you need a small safety margin of about 5% (so 95% duty cycle) or 90% as abvove to be super safe. By my calculations the standard injectors are theoretically capable of 259rwkw best case senario on 100%duty cycle so you not going to get any where near what you want!

If you don't wish to buy larger injectors, you can remove yours and get them high flowed for approx. $60 each to pretty much any spec you want. But be consious of future power goals as Ive seen people go to small before.

Hope that was of some help :banana:

I have a GT30 turbo (hybrid - mated to standard R34 exhaust housing) on my S2 stagea and at my last tune it had ~180rwkw. Boost would spike initially to 12psi but fade off to 9psi by redline. I also only have minor supporting mods, so not enough to run higher boost in mine. A better fuel pump would get me to 200-220 rwkw but at the moment I dont have adequate tuning to compensate for lag so more boost at the top end is out of the question right now.

For your setup, you may get more than 180rwkw with the same boost as what I had but I'd guess around 16-18psi for ~280rwkw...

Good luck with it :thumbsup: Just be aware that you'll lose some low-end response with this turbo. Big numbers for max power is all well and good but if you want overall responsiveness, I'd recommend no bigger than a GT28. Just my opinion, depends what you want. Its not that the GT30 is super laggy or anything, it should be good enough with the right tuning, but you may miss the almost-instant boost you get with the stock turbo.

Max boost with the GT30 is usually around 3500-3700rpm (maybe lower with better tuning). I believe max boost on the stock turbo is around 3000rpm depending on what boost you're running...correct me if I'm wrong...

I'm looking at getting a GReddy Emanage (probably just the blue - will do fine for what i need) sometime within the next 6 months which will hopefully significantly reduce lag and improve things a little. In colder temps, I have no issues with it, it revs to over 4000rpm before I'm all the way across any intersection....its just when its like 35 degrees with a/c on it takes longer to get onto boost...but again, your mileage may vary and I could have issues with my a/c. I dont know.

heres my results... call BS if you like but the power was made on a KNOWN reptuable dyno, and a malpassi rising rate was used.

I made 283 rwkw on 20 psi with stock injectors. Rb25 with 3071R, bosch motorsport pump, cooler, AM performance exhaust and dump. and the AFR's were still in the 12's, there was still headroom left 283 also.

I run 16-17 psi now to keep it safe as its a drift car, makes 265 rwkw, still stock injectors.. perfect mixtues and gets well thrashed on the track.

Highflowed, not stock or happy dyno - no way stocko factory injectors will do 280+rwkw

theres always one isnt there.

its not a happy dyno, in fact its the most accurate dyno in SA. and the injectors are 100% stock.

Have a read of what i wrote, a Malpassi rising rate was used. if stock pressures were used i doubt i would have made the power i did. However i decided to use the RR FPR, then retune all the idle and cruise/down low mixtures to stop overfuelling.

the RR FPR isnt running massive pressure in the rail either.. its only something like 10% more then stock

i'd believe it, again a RR FPR would have to be used, the fact i made 283 and still had plenty of headroom left means that making near 300 wouldnt be out of the question.

I made 220rwkw on stock RB20 injectors when i had a 20 and huddy on this forum made 230 rwkw, both were with stock FPR.

Good to see people running grenade set ups :rofl:

Do the math with 370cc injectors, you'll find that leaving no margin for error is dancing with the devil.

Also ECU dependant, if the ECU is batch firing (rather than sequential), of course you can run more than what you should as there is extra fuel sitting around doing nothing

my car is a drift car, it gets more thrashed then your car i can tell you right now.. My tuner is one hell of a awesome tuner and the whole combo is safe as anything.

the fact that 40 + dyno runs back to back during 4-5 hours in 38 degree temps in the dyno room, all with safe AFR's and not a hint of detonation... yeah its a grenade

I dont care whats going on to be honest :rofl:

Your running unnecessary risk.

Get a build motor worth many thousands... cheap skating out on $700 worth of injectors is silly. Its as simple as that.

Anyone can run 11ty psi through the injectors, doesn't mean its the best way, nor the safest way to go about it.

Its no different to welding a diff. Does it work? Yes. Is it the best way? No.

Doing supporting mods, is just that. Injectors are no different to a stock cooler.

Did you upgrade the cooler to get the best cooling? So why not the same for injectors for fuel?

The guy is asking for safe figures. And in all honesty bumping the rail pressure that much isnt safe.

^+1 i agree why put ur engine through stress it doesnt need??? Yeah I have seen some bull sh*it power from stock inj butt 1 know for a fact after a few time raping it, they pinning and in a few cases bang goes the engine. look for safety sake 300 hp is a safe with a good tune and plenty of fuel. and If u want more for fark sake bigger injectors and aftermarket ecu

wheres the unnecessary risk? everyone says its highly dangerous to run injectors over 80% duty but without any real proof. Sure the math's and reasoning says otherwise but in the realworld... theres no real reason why you couldnt push it harder.

There is no magic here, it is simply a mater of increasing the fuel presure to squirt more fuel through the same sized hole. We do it all the time, when we only need a slight increase in flow. Big increases in flow (like this one) are not something we would EVER do.

Here's the problem Simon, you have to be running the injectors at higher than standard fuel pressure, much higher than standard. This means several things;

1. You need to have superior than standard fuel lines and fittings, a petrol fire is not pretty. The right stuff is not cheap.

2. You need to buy an ajustable FPR and tune it to the required pressure, there is a cost involved in doing that.

3. Your fuel pump is working at a pressure that is higher than its rated pressure, that means it has reduced flow. Plus its life will be much shorter. As a result I would hope that you bought a larger fuel pump than you really needed, that will have cost more

4. The big one, the injector solenoids are opening against much high pressure than they were designed for. One day one of them with fail, without notice, the solenoid will simply cease to function. Then you will have one cylinder gone west, the first thing you will know about it will be a plume of smoke.

The real quations is. have you realy saved any money by not buying larger injectors and spending it on an adj FPR, a larger than neccesary fuel pump and superior fuel lines and fittings? Not in my experience. Then factor in the risk and the cost when it fails.

Roll the dice by all means, but you will lose eventually, why? Because everyone else has.

Merry Xmas

    • You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.
    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
