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" ?

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
