Hi ABuSD, R33 RB25DET uses side feed, high impedance injectors @ 340cc and that's enough for around 340 BHP, 253 kw, 190 rwkw or 255 rwhp. Do a search and you will find heaps of posts on this subject.

I have a RB25 power fc, high flow turbo, front mount, malpassi reg, exhaust, dump pipe with standard injectors my car made 229.2 kws at wheels @1 bar boost with fuel pressure @ 90 psi @ 1 bar boost my air flow ratios were 11.5. Couldnt tune for more boost because no. 3 coil pack was breaking down.

Ok GTS-t VSPEC, here we go again.

"It has alot of do with engine management"

Explain this to me, if I have an engine that shows an A/F ratio of 12 to 1 at 6,000 rpm at 1 bar using X brand ECU. How will it make any difference to the amount of fuel used if I have Y Brand ECU on that same engine that shows an A/F ratio of 12 to 1 at 6,000 rpm at 1 bar?

Same rpm, same boost, same engine, same injectors, same everything, how can one ECU use less fuel over another ECU if they both produce the same A/F ratio?

Now if you can't get the same A/F ratio with Y brand ECU because it has limitations, then that's a different story. But the A/F ratio won't be 12 to 1 and the dyno lambda sensor will show that.

I had a very long conversation (cost me many beers) with a couple of Motec and Autronic engineers at Bathurst and this was one of the subjects. As long as your A/F readings are consistent (they don't have to be correct, just consistent) then there is no way they could see where one ECU would use less fuel than another.

Maybe I've missed something, I am here to learn........

I had my standard R33 series 1 injectors flowtested and they all flowed between 500 and 550cc? Or are you just saying that with the standard regulator they will only flow 340cc?

Also - I think GTST-VSPEC was just alluding to the fact that different tuners and different engine management can produce very different results. The engine management is like any other piece of equipment - it's only as good as the operator.

Hi caminperth, at 38 psi the R33 GTST RB25DET injectors are rated at 340 cc's per minute. I have cleaned and tested over 20 sets and they have all actually flow around 350 to 365 cc's at 38 psi. This is normal tolerance. If you increase the fuel pressure they will flow more, but at 38 psi they should only flow to their rating.

So if your injectors flowed between 500 and 550 cc's, then I would say they are either not standard R33 GTST RB25DET injectors or the fuel pressure was a lot higher than 38 psi.

In addition a 50 cc variation (from 500 to 550) is far greater than I have even seen, and would result in the cylinder with the 550 cc injector running 10% richer (and that's a lot) than the cylinder with 500 cc injector. The most I tolerate is 3% and I carefully select which cylinder each injector goes in ie; I put the highest flowing injector in #6.

Hope that clarifies

and when will i have to upgrade my fuel pump, is it when ive got over 240+rwkw??

On an R33 GTS-t i'd be doing this around 180-190rwkw. The standard R33 GTS-t pump is rated at 300bhp which is approx 180rwkw.

400rwhp = roughly 308rwkws'

400 x 0.746 = 298.4rwkw

But lets not get down to the nitty gritty :P

Is an aftermarket ECU "required" in order to use aftermarket Injectors? (ie; 550cc's instead of the standard 340cc's). Or will the standard ECU just continue on its way and pump more fuel in "if possible" ?

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
