You don't really need to upgrade the reg. Generally they get used in combination with stock injectors to squeeze a bit more out of em. As you are upgrading your injectors then i think it's not really nescessary as your new injectors will be able to flow more than enough for your power goals without additional base fuel pressure.

I have a set of RX7 (460cc) non turbo injectors in my RB20DET. The tuner said these are to big for my application. He told me he dropped 1msec on the injector cycle and the car wouldn't idle nicely. It is therefore running overly rich on idle and low revs. I am going back down to CA injectors (anywhere from 320cc-370cc dunno). Is this a wise move? They are bigger than stock so they should be able to support ok horsepower. I want at least 300rwhp(225rwkw). I have heard that the stock RB injectors with aftermarket reg and fuel pump can achieve 250rwkw. Oh yea I have a microtech LTX 12, bosch 040 and malpassi rising rate...thoughts?

Big injectors and idle probs arent typically an injector problem, but the ability of the ECU to control the injectors.

I dont think the LTX12 should be having any trouble at all controlling 460cc injectors... they arent really that big.... perhaps the tuner is struggling with tuning the idle of the engine full stop and is looking for something to blame.... Id try another tuner to tweak the idle and uit should be fine.

Hijack my thread!! hahaha

OMP, i would recommend you grab a second opinion from a well known import tuner in your area. As Roy stated, your LTX12 should have no dramas controlling the 460cc injectors provided it has been tuned correctly.

I've got the SARD regulator with bigger injectors. Not running higher base pressure, but I like the peace of mind that I have a reliable fuel reg heheh. Dont think I need it tho, even on full song my injectors are still on holiday...

OMP- i'm running 550cc injectors on my RB20, ECU is AP Engineering PFC. Injectors have gone up just over 100%, but my tuner has done an awesome job with the staging, idle, etc - tuning work. Running a HKS GT2530 turbo, and I only run around 1 bar of boost so we're probably talking about a similar power range, tho I'm probably making less power heheh. I don't think they're too big - with careful tuning, even have excellent fuel economy!

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
