just need some help with this, i have all the supporting mods and want to make around the 260rwkw.

almost at tune stage but need to know whether or not i need to buy bigger injectors or whether i can just put a fuel pressure reg on it and bump up the pressure.

i have an ignition DVD with a hybrid 25/30 in it making 280rwkw on standard injectors, how is this done, i thought they max out at around 220-230???

also if i do have to put injectors in it, will i also need to put a reg on it??

cheers in advance

injectors. when u put in a adj fpr, u are moving curves that aren't usually moved. making the whole tuning process a lot more difficult.

just go injectors and a decent management system.

dont cheap out on it.

hey SL1D1N, I in no way mean to hijack your thread, I am in a similar position (should have similar power by this weekend) then will need a tune and fuel system upgrade, and I was going to ask a similar question as you,thought it might just be able to be answered here instead of opening up a new thread....

So to upgrade the fuel system, you don't need to get a FPR if you get new injectors and pump? and does that mean a fpr just uses your current injectors to spray out more then what they are meant to? wot about your fuel filter when upgrading?

Thanks mate, Adam

BTW good luck with the tune!

Using a FPR to increase the pressure to get more head room out of your maxed out injectors is a short cut. If you are going to chase bigger numbers down the track you are going to eventually need bigger injector anyway so you may as well get them in the first place.

Yep, s15 sr20 480cc side feeds, or any of the 550cc ones are fine for up to 300rwkw(or 350 for the 550's) Upgrade the pump and keep the stock reg. What management are you guys running.

Awsum, thanks for that. I thought my mate was full of cr*p when he said I need fuel pump,injectors AND a fpr...

I have a powerfc and commander :)

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
