hey guys, basically ive rebuild my engine bottom end similar to (piranha) , with tomei cams and gears, and im using -5s. Using the standard fuel pump, my car is about 320awkw. Im using 750cc injectors with standard rail. Sorry for this stupid questions, but :

1. With the aftermarket injectors,do u reckon i should change my stock rails?

2. Is it advisable to change to 1000cc injectors for better performance?

What else i can do to increase my power? Thank you.

p.s: this is subjective, but which is better, open pod or the stock box?i was told better to use stock box(cooler air)

cheers.

Change fuel pump to nismo or similar.

Stock rail is fine

How much power do you want will determine injector size.

Personally I would

Stick with stock airbox

How much boost you running??

Put 20+psi through them and you could get close to 380awkw with those turbos

cheers.

I have so far made 420 rwkw with a standard R33 Series 3 airbox. There is nothing wrong with them.

keep the std airbox

nothing wrong with them at all.

keep the standard rail, i am using the std rail with 1000cc injectors and it works fine

i'd stick with what you've got, the only thing i would change is the fuel pump.

a bosch 040, 044 or walbro or jap (tomei, nismo) will be fine.

if you can run over 20psi, do it to really wake up the -5's

Thought id give a quick update.

I put a pair of -7s on and i love them. They just feel so good after having early nismos (especially ones that were rooted lol)

Pulled 261rwkw at 1 bar so pretty happy with that for the moment. That was with std injectors/pump/afms so next step is to upgrade those and shoot for 330rwkw.

(although i have started collecting bits for a dirty thirty conversion so may just have wait for that lol)

Cheers

Ok so I have gtss turbos, nismo pump, injectors, apexi pods or airbox with nismo filter (depending what I feel like at the time lol). Currently running a power fc d-jetro but changing to haltech platinum pro inthe next few months.

I'm looking into cams. I'm getting cam gears, doing the water pump, timing belt etc all at the same time so why not do cams lol.

I'm a bit confused on what to get.

The tomei type b 260 in/ex with 9.15 lift or

Hks 264 in/ex with 8.7 lift (other hks cams with same lift are 256 or 272).

Appreciate your input into cam selection for my set up. Please don't post dont worry about cams or there not needed lol.

My mate put his pod via a silicon joiner through the stock IC hole into where the wheel arch stock front mount is located. The difference is night and day, but what about water/mud in winter etc, do you guys see any issue in mounting it here? It seems like such a an easy and effective modification.

Edit: stock place in a GTS-T, so I guess you guys would need to make another hole, but regardless thoughts?

I'd go the tomei's, only because they have more lift and they give more torque from that compared to the HKS cams. Have driven R's with both..

Each to their own ;)

A question for the more knowledgable.

Wanting to know with a built RB26, supporting mods with -7's optimal RPM and boost setting PSI please.

Tomie Type A poncams 260 9.15

Chasing 300 or so awkws

Let me know if you need more build details

I would gone different dumps, but for 300/320awkw it's not going to make much of a difference.

24psi peak, 8000rpm will be fine. Set the limiter for 8200 or so and fit a shift light to go off at 7500rpm.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
