whatever do u mean by basic.

If u want to run the power relaibly, i would suggest nothing over a 12.1 afr ratio, and maybe add a little toluene when u are gonna punish the car. THen the car should be fine. However if the car does run lean, it is very easy to crack ringlands which many forum members have lately. good luck.

Realistically how much power do you gain by running a 12:1 afr over a 11-11.5:1afr.

10-15rwkw?!? Bugger all.

The extra fuel helps things stay just that little bit cooler.

Keeping the combustion temps cooler prevents detonation (cracked ring lands).

I have no idea when it comes to tuning. From what I have seen the stock RB25DET's tend to crack ring lands up around the 250rwkw+ mark. If It was my car running that power I would ask for a slightly richer afr. 11-11.5:1

1 Bar is nothing for the stock internals even at stock CR, 265 is fine too. Merli was running more boost and more power with totally stock internals for some time without dramas.

It all depends on the tune, you can destroy stock internals with alot less than 265rwkw.

I would highly recommend you dont take any short cuts though, ie, do your injectors!

sounds good, make sure you have a good intercooler (no doubt you already have one), and good management. A conservative tune doesnt mean you wont have power. Hopefully your tuner will go for around 11.5/6 AFratios at peak torque, and 12s thereafter.

You wont know for sure until you get the turbo fitted and on the dyno for a tune - this seems to be where gremlins will raise their head in the first instance, then on the road, until you have them all ironed out. There are so many variables, it would be near impossible to highlight them all. I have found the issues I have had, others havent. and vice vesa.

Timing is another matter. If you have a power fc, you can actually make correction across the range when driving should you run into trouble. If you detect detonation on the street, just pull 1 deg of timing across the range, and monitor closely. I deg seems to make a huge difference to knock when you are at the threshold where the power fc starts to warn of problems.

I have managed to keep my engine in one peice with over 300kw on stock internals with just a head gasket to drop CR to 8.6:1 - but I am running around 1.5 bar and up to 1.7 bar regularly.

Best advice I can probably give is look at what they do in japan, then copy it exactly, without taking any shortcuts - they have been tuning these engines for so much longer than in Aust, and they tend to perfect things to a fine art. All the R&D has been done by them - with proven results.

What other mods have you got? what turbo are you running? what fuel are you using?

      ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...

      Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
