Can The Stock Injectors Handle It?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Would I gain any bhp replacing just the fuel pump and fuel regulator on an L24E in an MR30 skyline or would no benefit be gained unless the fuel rail/injectors were replaced as well?????

Cheers

Assuming that i replace the ECU with a megasquirt or similar(sorry i didnt mention that bit in the first post lol).

Ive just been told(correct this if it is wrong) that the fuel pump is running near capacity when tuned to stock settings and must be replaced to run any higher amount of flow, just wondering if this applies to the injectors as well?????

well if an injector is installed on an engine designed for 109hp, and you want to increase that power by anything noticeable, you will need to upgrade the injectors.

there are threads discussing this

making a L24e go any better is not an easy thing to do, most cases the factory tuning will slow you down, as its the major restriction in modification

you could go the 'pod filter, advanced timing, extractors and exhaust' deal, but there wont be any drastic changes at all

the best thing is aftermarket management, or convert to another factory type, like the delco 808, or a nissan ECCS

turboing will make some good results, not cheap but can be done, the factory management can be tricked to some extent, a bit dodgey but can be done (wouldnt go past 4 or 5 psi though)

Im convinced the cheapest way to get an R30 to go quick is an RB30e conversion, or turbo the L24

Thanks for the replies everyone,

As i dont really want to do an engine transplant ill look at the turbo option(sure there are already lots of threads dealing with that so ill do a search)

Cheers

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
