Hey Guys,

Has anyone ever had problems with after market injectors? I have just had some 550cc SARD injectors installed and now the engine wont fire. It is definitely the injectors not working as the spark plugs are firing. If I spray a little brake cleaner in the inlet it fires a few times suggesting no fuel is getting into the cylinders. This is the first time I have ever upgraded injectors so is there anything “special” I should know?

Thanks

SARD had a bodgy batch of injector clips that basically need modification so they'll seat properly and make enough of an electrical connection for the injectors to fire.

If you have spark you have injector pulse so it's probably that.

Call Hioctane.com.au if you need an explanation on how to do it but my first place to check would be the clips.

Note: They look and feel like they connect but they're not actually touching enough to work.

I concur about the clips...i had same problem on cyl 6..took me a while to work out why she was only running on 5 cylinders. The little wire clips werent in all the way to make contact when the plug was clipped in.

A senario......

You have everything assembled, crank the engine a few times, i assume you get nothing apart from the starter motor turning the flywheel. You then remove the spark plugs, what is the condition of the tips?

1/ Clean and dry - lack of fuel; injectors

2/ Black and fouled - Too much fuel; ECU tunning

3/ Clean but wet (with fuel) - No spark; Coils, plugs, module, ignition, etc.

Tell us which option, above, is occuring.

Ash is correct, new injectors need a complete and full re-tune of the ecu, as the standard injector setting would have too big a time pulse thus flooding the engine with fuel.

possibly look at pulling the plug off all together and plugging the wires directly into the injector pins, also check to see if they are pulsing, should be able to feel it through the body the injecter, or if not, grab a screw driver and pop your ear ont he end to listen for them clicking

I had the same problem. were the injector plugs supplied with the injector? if so they are not contacting. Have to machine the lugs off the injector so you can fit the plugs 180 around. its weird i know but trust me, will fix problem.

Thanks for all the help guys, its really apprecaited. I will look into it today and see what I can do.

let me know how you go.

After looking at it and speaking with my mechanic I recon you are spot on. This weekend when I have time I will do exactly what you said to do and I will let you know how it all goes.

[it will be the problem, i only know because i spent a day trying to figure it out, but i had changed computer at the same time so i wasnt sure what it was, finally removed plugs and plugged harness in directly. All O.K.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
