it's time for me to upgrade my injectors, the factory ones are now at max flow. So what i am after is some first hand experience with aftermarket injectors... What's worked? What's failed? What should i steer clear of?

Current mods that you may need to know are:

T3/T4 turbo

PowerFC

Malpassi Fuel Reg

FMIC

running 15psi boost

I dropped in a set of nismo 555cc injectors into my car, and the Sard ones were cheaper but needed collars to fit, which took the price up to the same as the nismo ones!.....the nismo one drop straight in with no problems!....easy!

not only that the sards require a plug rewire. Nismos would be much better as they are a true drop in replacement. The only thing that i think they dont come with is new o rings, and its highly recomended to change them while their out so you dont get a leaky injector down the track.

because you dont need to control the fuel pressure with an aftermarket pump on, cause you have a/m management needed to control the injectors. Does that make sense. I think it does.

I kept mine on just for the ability to keep monitoring fuel pressure....im lazy though.

what injectors are you using on your cars michael? i was think of going the Nismo 740cc injectors, talking with a few people, we think the 555cc wouldn't allow for enough future growth.

i've also heard that the Sard injectors aren't the best nozzle

Shane in my r33 I have 550cc SARDS and in the race car we got 850cc SARDS. I think the basic equation is that its 1HP to every 1cc, so going on that 550hp @ the fly is the max, call it 500hp to be safe. Thats about 420hp @ the wheels.

I think the price difference is almost nothing for the 740cc nismo items, might as well go them if you think your going to come up short with the 555cc ones.

Whats the t3/t4 you have rated at? Unless your changing turbos in the future that will tell you how much you should allow for.

Hi Shane. I know it's a bit of topic, but could i ask at what power did the stockies run out at.

Im upgrading the turbo and just wondering what roughly the 370cc will do. :)

i had it tuned to 225rwkw, then we downtuned it to 215rwkw to try stop the pinging. they are still maxing out...

from my googling during the week, i found that 370cc is probably only good for 210rwkw.

As usual it's all in the numbers...................

210 rwkw + 65 rwkw for losses = 275 rwkw

27 rwkw x 1.34 = 368.5 bhp

Pretty close to 370 cc = 370 bhp.

550 cc = 550 bhp

550 bhp / 1.34 = 410 rwkw

410 rwkw – 65 rwkw losses = 345 rwkw

That’s at standard fuel pressure (34-36 psi)

You could use the adjustable FPR to raise the pressure to 47 psi and you are looking at just over 625 cc of flow

625 cc = 625 bhp

625 bhp / 1.34 = 466 rwkw

466 rwkw – 65 rwkw losses = 401 rwkw

47 psi fuel pressure + boost, say 25 psi = 72 psi

Which is well within the range of a Bosch fuel pump (044 for example).

I wouldn’t use a Walbro though. Plus I would STRONGLY suggest using new fuel hoses and clamps for that level of fuel pressure.

:O cheers :O

:huh: cheers :)

i currently have a Walbro pump on, i'm on my 2nd one in under 12 months. the latest one has been on for 3 months and has already started to shit itself... a Bosch 040 will be going in ASAP.

go the nismo 740cc, they only work out to be $50 more (will it was in my case), that is like $8.30cent more pre injector :rolleyes:

what ECU are you running? someone mentioned to me that PowerFC doesn't really support big injectors all that well

Thats a lie...shoot whoever told you that :( If there is a problem its more then likely the tuner, remember a good tradesman never blames his tools.

And the powerfc in the race car is running the 850's perfectly fine :(

Thats pure bullshit dude :(

As stated, shoot the person that told you that :(

I ran 740's with a PowerFC, idle was as good as when the factory injectors were in there

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
