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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
