Rebuilding my motor and wanting to up the power to high 200rwkw. I am looking at getting some bigger injectors but i was wondering what these would do to my fuel economy as my car is a daily driver.

Questions are;

What i really want to know is it posible to have 280odd rwkw and still get any where near the 500km out of a tank that i get on long trips and 420 odd around town.

What size injectors?

I am also not sure of what turbo to run i was thinking about the GT30 just not sure how laggy these are ?

Is it possible to have these sort of figures and have something that has a bit of grunt down low cause i dont want to be waiting till 4500rpm till it comes on boost.

And last but not least are these cheap IC that just jap is selling able to flow these figures that i want .

If anyone is able to help with any of these questions or ideas that can get me to 280- 300 rwkws it would be great. :confused:

pwer only comes from the fuel you burn, so more power = more fuel consumption.

the bigger injectors by themselves would not change your economy, everything else unchanged, they would just be open for a shorter time and let the same amount of fuel through. However, your economy is greatly controlled by your right foot, go easy on the accelerator, and it'll be heaps cheaper to run....

280-300rwkw hey... that's plenty of power.. you mite need to consider going tuff internals like forged pistons and other things.

but yeah.. more powa more fuel.. your engine will always go thirsty after every grunt of powa.

750cc is recomended for 300rwkw.. and 044 fuel pump . aftermarket computer and alot of other things but most importantly.. DOH-- alot of DOH involve.

good luck.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
