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

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
