Hey guys.

I'm looking at new injectors soon and I had a hunt for a bit of a power/injector sizes thread but couldn't find one.

I'm not exactly sure how to do the workings out so I thought I might ask somebody to put together a little table.

Criteria:

powers of say 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, and so on up to say 500 rwkW

Injector sizes to suit.

I guess you could have the graph in both stock fuel pressure and a resonably raised fuel raril pressure.

Injector duty should not exceed 90% for safety.

So, who can do the math?

BASS OUT

Have a look at the link, tell me where I'm going wrong, because it did sound a little strange.

What is the Standard Fuel rail pressure of a Skyline, and what is a resonable pressure for raising too to keep safe on all types of injectors?

Steve.

Using that calculator, I use the following figures

Desired Horsepower = 422

Number of Injectors = 6

Brake Specific = 0.65

Max Injector Duty = 0.90

System Fuel Pressure = 40 psi

I get 557 cc per minute for like 200 rwkW (460 hp at fly)......

Is this right, doesn't sound it.

Please explain where I'm going wrong.

try using 0.60 BSFC, also fuel pressure you are showing is a bit low.

Base pressure at atmo for nissan OEM regulators is 3.05kg, if you are running 1 bar boost to achieve 422hp, the pressure will then be 4.05kg, or (multiply 14.5 x 4.05) 58.7psi = 427cc injectors required.

If you were using 1.4 bar boost, 63.8psi - 409cc injectors required.

There is also a calculation on that site to work out extra fuel flow for given injectors when you change the rail pressure.

btw, for a 6 cyl turbo engine, the 'approx' rule of thumb is what ever the bhp you are after, get the same size in injectors

Oh, and be aware that different injectors are rated at different pressures, SARD and HKS rate their injectors at 3kg (at idle) vs stock 2.55kg at idle.

Also, Sard and more so HKS seem to under rate their injectors that I have seen.

I was putting down 320+rwkw with sard 550cc injectors with OEM fpr, and never saw 80% duty cycle - this was running around 1.4 bar boost. Sard rate their 550cc injectors at 510cc with oem fuel pressure.

I was under the impression tha Nismo, HKS and others (not Sard or PE) were made by Denso in Japan...Am I wrong?

My sards are made by denso, I was under the impression that they made most, if not all injectors in Japan.

Just like NGK make all their iridium plugs - greddy, hks, nismo etc

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
