hey guys

just wondering what kinda power the standard rb26 injectors and airflow metres will handle im looking for 400rwhp i currently have hks gtss and a forged engine.

can i use rb25 afms if so what needs to be done to get them to work on the 26

and what cc injectors would i need?

cheers

stock injectors and afm ahould do around 280rwk before you come into too much trouble. I bought 540cc injectors for my car as i dont want a grenade setup :D

as for the afm's..., dont qoute me on this but i think the standard r32gtst afm's have the same plug as the rb26.

i read this somewhere a while ago. they are the same size as the gtr afms too, if this is the case they will do 400rwhp.

IIRC about 280awkw is the limit (someone will correct me). You can tune past the AFMs, and if you wanted to get a bit more out of the standard injectors you could raise the fuel pressure with an aftermarket regulator. Since you've spent the dough on the forged motor i wouldnt bother with the regulator hack and just go for a new set of injectors. To get changed AFMs and injectors to work you will need a tune. You might be able to get a PFC to limp to the shop if you select the new kit in the menus.

yep 287.4kw we made this at sau dyno day a few years back...de-screened afm's stock fuel pressure and injectors....stock turbo's etc

You should get close enough to 300.

Ferni has near on that power, stock AFM/Injectors.

If you want to push the turbos to the absolute limit, you'll need to upgrade both however

What is the injector duty and mixtures near 300? Stock fuel pressure?

If its running on the ragged edge then the OP could be well advised not to risk his shiny new motor. Ie stick to a safe 280, or add the goodies and run 320/330.

BTW Chicken at 200bar sounds delicious.

De - screened afm's. How much restriction do the screens pose? I have thought in pulling the rear screen off my nismo AFMS. Is it worth it? Would taking both screens off have any effect on how the AFM reads?

No need to descreen nismo afm's. They will meter just about anything you can give them. You can run stock motor, stock afm, stock fpr making 280kw atw with inj duty at 92 %. All in the tune.

AFM reads air mass so removing the screens will have no effect on the accuracy of the reading. The screens are just one of the many restrictions along the air path. I have no idea if removing them would make a measurable difference in power.

A mate who has WAY to much time on his hands worked it out (measured the size and length of the wire). The screens blocked 33% of the AFM he reckoned. Unfortunatley he never did a run with and without.

when but when air is being sucked past?

Huh? I

ts either the fact that ive just about finished a 12hr night shift or that makes no sense?

A screen both sides of the afm, restricting there air able to enter the afm. So you have an 80mm body with a 1/3 blocked by the screen.

god i need sleep.

6%

its not like the air is just 'passing'

its being sucked in, the turbos, spinning, draw more air

So under load/induction, how much does it actually restrict....

Paulie says 6%, is it more/less/otherwise?

I have a RB26, and having issues at the momment can I post it here since were here? Also to this topic. I got my injector maxed out to nearly a 100% at 12 psi on stock turbos. got 209kw@7500 rpm (280hp) at rear wheels. and that wasn't spinning that hard, is a new engine can go to 9500 rpm with more $$$$!

To this new topic about MAF's, I was thinking of pulling the mesh off my sensors to clean them better. Alot of oil been through them. I have seen a DIY fix for these meters where U have to re-solder the filaments to the probe (I wouldn't advise anyone to doing this though). They are a sealed unit, with the time you waste, might as well just buy a new or good second hand one.

It wouldn't be a good idea to remove this mesh with a standard ECU would it? The voltages under throttle and none throttle be affected. Maybe not.

you do not solder the "filaments to the probe" as you put it....the dry joints you solder are located under the square cover.

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
