Injector duty


Recommended Posts

Guest KILLER-T

Hi Meggala the car has 228 kw and had the rev limiter set to 6500 rpm on the dyno because i was a bit worried about blowing the new engine but i have had it for a while and i have a bit more faith in it so i have lifted the rev limit to 7500 rpm and thats why im asking about the injectors. So 85% is ok hey would a fuel reg help me get a bit more out of it

Yeah put a adj fuel reg in then wind the boost up abit more.

Thats what im gonna do altho cant boost it much more with the standard guts maybe 16psi wid dat turbo i have.

Cheers

Heya Macka,

Isn't 16psi a bit too much without forged pistons? I know with the PSI hybrid turbo Brett was saying not too push it too much over 14psi without having forged pistons......or say bye to the engine after a while kinda thing??

Macka/25GTT,

I have already warned Macka against running too high boost, but in his quest for more power he will push his engine to its limits. I wouldn't run more than 14psi, and I'm getting my forgies in soon, so I can tell you the total cost of pistons plus fitting.

KillerT,

I use a fuel pressure regulator, and it will extend your fuel system for a bit more power, but it is not the best way. Save up for some bigger injectors and fuel pump if your planning on more power, don't run past 90% duty cycle.

See'ya:burnout:

Hang on fellas.....

U cant just jump in and point the finger.

skylines high compression means that 15psi is about max for the engine...causing stress on alot of stuff with the high combustion pressures

I have a decompressed head running 8.5:1 and retarded timing.

Alot of skylines are running 18psi on standard pistons if u are looking out for them!

16psi would only be for the drags I run 12psi day to day anyway so the risk is GREATLY REDUCED!

You run 16 all day it aint gonna last long for sure..

Hi Macka,

We're not having a go, and I know that is what you told me before, but even with lower compression there is the chance. If it was me I'd go for it, but if you do blow a piston then the results could be very expensive. We're just looking out for your wallet, which could suffer the most.

Yes 16psi could run fine for many years at the drags, or the engine could go bang, less likely but it is a possibility.

The main reason we siad not to do it is cause we don't want oil down on the track.(J/K):)

Do it, run 16psi, it's the only way to prove your right.

See'ya:burnout:

Why does everyone automatically think larger injectors are required at the limits of duty cycle.

Why not increase the pressure behind the injector. Higher pressure will cause more fuel to be injected at a given duty cycle.

I've read somewhere of someone who tried larger injectors (on a Falcon, I think), and found that the fuel delivery was pretty poor because of the required shorter duty cycle. The car actually lost power. Refitted the original injectors and upped the fuel pressure and picked up power.

Hey paul......

If shes gonna blow on 16 shes gonna blow on 14, 2psi isnt alot.

I have to wait till me head mech comes back from England before i start getting too serious :) If a piston blows now i just throw a cover over it for 6 months :)

Let us know what sort of price you get your reg for Adam id like to know..

cheers

How much are the fuel pressure regulators worth? and are they an effort to fit?

Macka can you notice anything bad at all with the injectors at the moment? if not just for longevity go the fuel pressure regulator? just a suggestion.. could save you some $$$$ injectors could be close to maxing out but depends on how many more mods you wanna do i guess as to whether or not go the bigger injectors??

Yeah we are just trying to help you dude.... quite sometime ago at the drags i did see a white skyline that had turbo probs and smoke coming out of it,, the owner looked upset at the $$$ he would have to spend to fix it..... if i remember right the owners name was ummm....you:uh-huh: i just don't want to see that happen again to your pride and joy...

I have a Malpassi rise rate fuel regulator, approx. $220-240. There are more expensive ones, but for 600hp or less this is fine. They are easy to fit, most difficult bit is the mounting bracket.

The regulator will extend the amount of power your factory fuel system can support, but I'd still recommend bigger injectors and fuel pump aswell. I can get cheap 550cc injectors for you Macka, if you want.

When running higher horsepower 300+rwhp, then the pressure regulator is recommended so that there is not drop off in fuel at the rails, if this happens then bang, you engine has detonated.

Was that those bosch ones?

Ill try and push the envelope with the reg first Cheers Paul.

Dont forget the clutch isnt going to last on mine either :) but for now it seems to be hoilding up just a bit spongey! :burnout:

I'd recommend the twin over the singles any day. They are easy to drive and will bite hard with the extra power your planning on sqeezing out. A single 5 puck might last at your current power, but in the furture it would die a lonely death.

There is no reason that you cant run more than 16psi on an rb20, remember these run less compression than the rb25. Its all in the tuning, if there is no detonation the engine will be fine.

I am in the process of fitting a bigger turbo/intercooler/injectors and will run probably up to 18psi with it depending on the power it makes.

just so you guys know jms run a decompressed rb25 in their red car and that makes over 300 rwkw on stock internals the gtr runs similar compression and will hold 1.5 1.6 bar of boost the stock pistons are very similar to the rb25 ones. so 1.3 bar with a big turbo should be fine but not to drive with all day every day but when you need it. macka you knwo your stuff dr drift told me about your car I was to heard some times :mad:

cheers

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
