I only got a increased boost kit from them. Which turned out to be some
rubber piping and a metal T'piece for around £60-70!
Phoned them twice 1st guy was helpful 2nd guy was NOT.

Iam just wondering were iam going to get a 5th injector kit etc from now?
i have been told that running 12p.s.i from 4000rpm up the silvia's injectors are working flat out, more boost/power requires more fuel hence the 5th inj
they used to sell.
They used to sell the cosworth intercooler kits or a front mount type with a
radiator relocatoin kit.
Also a copy of the factory bootspoiler in fibreglass etc
I think P/R also used to race silvias years ago hence all the parts/knowhow.

who are p/r, i would not bother with the 5th injector kit, i had one, it was overfueling a t25 at 18psi and i had the full spec engine that i'am running now, they used a ford cold start injector with a metro oil pressure switch, it came on at 5/7psi, i'd say if you had to use one, have it come on at about 16/18psi through to 22psi on a t3, this would still overfuel, but would protect it up the top end and cool the pistons, i have mine set up to run rich up the top, this is what andy @AMT engines has done, so that i can run a flat out top speed run, this can bugger the plugs up, in japan they run the 300zxtt that rich that they have to change the plugs after every run.

The cold start injector never seemed to add much fuel in my opinion, it only gave out a fine little queer mist. If its designed to enrichen an engine a bit at 1000rpm, I doubt it has much ability at full throttle at 6000rpm. The 5th injector was a waste of time, it did nowt for me.

Why are you having it run so rich at the top end Shaun? You lose power when its too rich.

its not mega rich, but if you where to run full out on a top speed run for a mile and a quater, its better to run richer to cool the pistons, a lot of the top tuners run rich thats why you can see them poor the black smoke out on full boost, i do more long top speed runs against scoobys than the old traffic light grand prix's against nova's,its just sensible to follow the proven methods

Do you know what ratio you are aiming for?

s13eater · #6 28-12-2005, 17:54

its 11/6 at the moment but i'am having anthor map made up to run 11/1 for top speed runs.

11.6 isn't too bad, normally the top speeders aim for 10.5
