Hi Guys,

1st-

I would like to know how much power can be produce of each of the fuel system components, ie. how much power the fuel rail, fuel pump and injectors can handle individually

2nd-

I would also like to know what mods I would need to get to reach my first goal 250-300rwkw, Preferably 300rwkw

I am currently producing 195rwkw

I have

-Power FC

-High flow intercooler

-High flow exhaust

-Greddy intake manifold

-Greddy radiator

-Greddy oil cooler kit

-splitfire coilpacks

-Gizzmo boost controller

I also have a wet NOS kit (50-100HP) but it is not installed

and soon to get Nitto drag metal head gasket

Hope you can help guys

Ok first thing, head gasket. Don't bother replacing it, why would you?. If anything you want a stock headgasket since it can potentially save your engine by blowing the gasket first.

For the stock fuel pump, realistically anything over a stock turbo it should be replaced. Hell even with it's given age it should be replaced. Read this thread regarding the stock fuel pump, few good explanations there:

For the injectors people say different power levels since some qoute stock fuel pressure limits, others bump up the rail pressure to squeeze a bit out of them. As a rule of thumb, I think people see a high injector duty cycle around the 220-230rwkw mark. As I have said, some people say different things. But for your power goals you gotta change them anyway, so just go for something around the 740 mark if you are planning on over 300rwkw. Personally I wish I had gotten the Nismo 740s over the Nismo 555s for the extra head room.

Fuel rail don't bother at the power levels we are talking other than if you wan't a nicer looking one.

Now for the power goal, are you talking with the nitrous, or without? Because that is going to be a big difference in recommendations.

In essence you have all the right ingredients all ready to go on the car, just comes down to turbo choice.

Remember though, at the 300kw mark the RB25 bottom end is at a high risk of letting go.

+1 on everything except the last sentence

Stock Rb25's are ok to 500hp at the wheels if revs are kept to sensible levels

And providing you get it tuned by someone who knows what the f**k they are doing

Thanks, For the advice on the fuel, With the nitrous i was think 300rwkw before nitrous (maybe 475HP with nitrous), I have to replace my head gasket because It has popped a water channel out under the exhaust manifold (not really sure why there was pressure in the water channels anyway)

I reckon I will probably get a set of forgies ready so that i can eventually go over the 500hp mark when the time comes

lol at "won't" instead of want.

do a search . go read the dyno results thread

Fixed mother f**ker :yes:

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
