hi all

recently ive had trouble with my rb25 since my regrettful turbo upgrade ive been told to add injectors and ECU into it to sort it ive bought a APEXI POWER FC and SARD 850cc injectors but im a bit worried about putting them into a stock engine i mean surely increased injection would make alot more heat and strain on the engine so what do i have to do to prevent it from exploding after i spent so much on it, forged pistons??

What turbo did you put on. That's the million dollar question.

Don't run an aftermarket turbo on the stock setup so yes injectors, fuel pump and ECU are a must at the minimum. Engines don't just explode. Detonation is what kills engines which all comes down to the tune. Having a large turbo on a car on a stock setup is a lot more dangerous than running a bigger turbo with all supporting mods keeping it all running right.

By the sounds of things i'm assuming it was just a slightly larger turbo upgrade, possibly highflow? Regarding your injector choice you may have gone a bit overkill, but once again, comes down to what turbo you put on there.

Need more information man.

You need to start reading the Forced Induction section to get a better understanding of it all.

EDIT: Don't worry I just found your other thread, i'll read that and reply in there.

the bigger injectors themselves aren't going affect the engine. you could put 10,000cc injectors on a stock engine and it won't affect it at all because you then tune the ecu to only allow the injectors to put in the same amount of fuel as it was before.

what will put more stress on the engine is the turbo. this then pumps more air into the engine, and therefore you have to put more fuel into the engine to balance it out.

so ok the injectors wont harm the engine bcos they are set to match the air intake with fuel (more air, more fuel) ok. what about a fuel regulator will the stock regulator be able to run injectors as big as 850cc coming from a stock setup or will it be wise to get an aftermarket fuel regulator if so which one?

as PM-R33 said, its all in the tune. normally if you have big injectors, a higher flowing fuel pump and bigger turbo you'll have to tune it anyway. you dont have to change the fpr for your application, its not really necessary unless for some reason you want to fine tune your fuel system or running ridiculous amount of power.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
