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.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
