Hey guys,

I just got my car dyno tuned by Gavin Woods, he's an absolute champion.

Car is currently putting out 315hp at 0.9 bar.

Specs are:

1993 RB25DET

Apexi PowerFC

Bosch 040 Pump, Tomei Fuel Reg, Stock Injectors

KKR560 Turbo, front mount, stock AFM, Greddy Profec B Spec II

He said he could only run 0.9 bar of boost as the AFM was maxxed out, and injectors were at 92% and he doesn't like going above 90%

So... I'm gonna save up for injectors and an afm, and had a few questions....

1) What injectors and AFM would you recommend? I'm not planning on eventually running any crazy power, just wanting to fix whatever's "holding back" the engine :D

2) how much boost would you run on a stock engine? (140,000km) The turbo seems as though it would be happy to run 20psi+ but i'm guessing the engine wouldn't last

3) Are there any other bits I would need or should get? EG: will new afm need an adapter for the existing pod filter or wiring in a new loom, or any other bits that should be changed at the same time?

4) Where should i get these bits from?

Thanks guys :P

i pretty much have the perfect information on injectors atm in my post just below yours :D

and the afm is covered heaps here already, get a z32 afm.

and for how much boost, lol thats covered alot to..

ive learnt to use the search bar since my first post otherwise u look like a complete tool.

1. Z32, Nismo 555's

2. Who knows, more about the tune than anything.

3/4. Nengun, greenline, any of the forum traders as well. AFM will be larger, might need a new adapter.

Nasty turbo though the 560 :D

Also, once you put in larger injectors, put the factory fuel reg back on, you do not need the Tomei one.

Thanks for the advice guys,

I have read either 440cc or 480cc for S15 injectors, guess I gotta do more research :banana:

What's the reason for returning to stock FPR if i get bigger injectors? I realise I may not need the additional pressure, but can't it just be turned back down?

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
