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........

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 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" ?

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
