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

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
