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.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
