Does anyone have any comments, I have heard opinions that twin holes are not as good... I'm assuming this is because the 2 spray patterns would collide and condense the atomised fuel?!?

The reason I ask is because is have the option on 700cc single feed or 800cc twin feed and am wishing to go the larger as i don't want to run the risk of running too close to 100% duty cycle.

Also does anyone have any opinons on porting rb26 heads?!? I have seen a lot of conflicting evidence to if it is really worth it or not...

cheers simon

From the best of my knowledge:

Twin spray injectors should be a better setup as long as they don't spray a solid jet of fuel rather than an atomised spray.

The biggest advantage with going twin spray is that if they are set up correctly they will spray the atomised fuel directly down the intake ports to the valves.

The biggest problem with single spray setups is that fuel collects on the sides of & in between the ports & is therefore no longer properly atomised. It very much comes down to the quality of the injector & how well it's set up more than anything.

Not 100% on this, but from what I know that's the key points

My Rb20 had GTR injectors (single pintle) and although it made decent power the tuner was not happy with the tune at anything other than WOT. I thought it drove fine.

Its over my head, but somehow he pointed at the injectors as the culprit, which had just been recoed and were in good working order.

So in went a set of quad orifice bosch items from APS that were designed for the xr6t and rated somewhere around 500cc I beleive.

He told me that with these in it was so much easier to tune and gave a result he was happy with.

When I got it back, it was as he said it would be and was a smoother running tune. Where I noticed the diference the most was at cruising speeds with very small throttle openings, it was much crisper to respond with the new items and economy improved by approx 0.5L/100km.

After all that, I couldnt say if one is better than the other as I am not technically adept enough to understand the workings of each but in my own personal experience I had positive results switching from the single pintle type to quad orifice type.

The tuner was also adamant that the older style pintle types were robbing me of drivability and I was not charged for the new items.

this was discussed a while ago

i think spray patterns means jack all and doesnt add any value

Hmmm kinda doubtfull about that myself. I've heard stories of a mate of mine with motorbikes also & it was the diffence between it running properly & barely at all!! Motorbikes are genrally pretty highly tuned sensitive beasts so I'd say it becomes more important the more warmed up your engine is when it comes to power output.

Better mixed fuel & air burns much faster. You can ignite petrol just poured on the ground & it just burns, spray a fine mist of it into the air though & then try to light it & ........... Be somewhere else if some idiot actually tries this!!!

Would be interesting to see if anyone has actually done some back to back dyno testing on this.

ive found that using disc type injectors instead of pintle syle (as std) will result in strange idling and interesting cruising...

What kind of 'disc type' injectors did you have? It is important to know that even though the outlets of these types of injectors can look the same, they can spray very different patterns depending on what kind of engine they are designed for.

Spray patterns can vary in with & direction that they are sprayed. Injectors like the standard type on an R33 GTS-t for instance do spray in 2 pairs (many have 4 holes in the outlet, 2 hole ones are also common but there are other variations than this) ie 4 holes in the disc spraying into 2 directions for 2 ports. Others however like say a VT commodore, have what appears to be basically the same setup but only spray in a single direction.

The biggest advantages from these types of injectors in my experience, are that the give a better directed spray, while actually atomising better than direct pintle outlet injectors. They can vary in spray width and in the case of twin spray setups also spray angle. If you are using the wrong type of injector for the application it may not work quite so well.

I was under the impression that the disc/ball style injectors had better atomization, and could stay at higher duty cycles for much longer than standard type injectors..?

6 Holes should have better atomization, than single or twin holes.

i had a set of rc branded lucas injectors to suit a 7mgte, had 4 holes in the cap but it was recessed back into the injector body a touch so i think thats perhaps why it ran so strangely.

to quote someone from another forum:

"i hate lucas injectors. they suck. BUT, i would put lucas in before i would put rochestor. heck, i would WALK to avoid putting rochestor in my car. i would CUT OFF my legs, and get a wheelchair before i would put rochestor in my car. i would let chuck norris roundhouse kick me in the balls if i put rochestor in my car."

-i just realised that has nothing to do with the topic really

lol, well whatever i got them new for stupid cheap (200$ usd) and they do work...just behave strangely sometimes.

heres a good website on basic injector info... http://www.sdsefi.com/injectors.htm

never been a fan of domestic style (rochester) injectors, they always seemed big and chunky, plus they tend not to have many import applications.

Mmmm not a real big fan of lucus injectors they tend to actually collect fuel on the side of the outlet due to them being set back so far like you said. Not a big rochester fan either. Newer design Bosch & Jecs injectors are probably the best I've delt with. Not so sure on some other aftermarket stuff.

denso injectors are the only way

sard

blitz

hks

(most jap stuff)

even the rx7's are denso's...

Toyota, Mitsubishi & Mazda use Denso

Nissan & Subaru use JECS

Honda & Suzuki different brands again (Can't remember the names barely ever saw them)

It's interesting that you pointed out about RX-7's having denso's. The injectors they use in particular on earlier models I did not like as they seemed to be very prone to broad varyations in flow between individual injectors & sometimes variations in flow of the same injector while they were running! This was especially bad under light loads. Good way of confusing an ECU. Rich no lean rich no no lean no Rich AHHHHHH.

It is a brand I did forget to mention however & they are good, but seem a bit more prone to developing problems too (leaks, dodgy spray patterns etc). They're newer high performance stuff I can't comment on.

I'm using FC RX7 550s

I had them cleaned and flow tested before I installed them

Before:

143, 138, 139, 138

After:

140, 140, 140, 140

I'm not sure what measurement they used, I actually only found out that the RX7 ones didn't have great quality control until after I bought them, I must have just bought a good batch of them.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
