Just picked up a set of Sard 550cc injectors off a mate.

Bought the sard set due to a convenient price not

as a result of the Nismo vs Sard debate on my other thread... :P

Now like the other thread has anyone used these and

fitted them on themselves?

So far im aware that the O-ring set that comes with

them is no good.

Is there any other issues or dramas anyone has come across whilst

installing these injectors.

Collar set looks odd but hopefully it bolts onto the fuel rail.

Any help with this will be much appreciated.

I'll write a DIY in the tutorials as soon as I get a

chance to fit them on.

Cheers,

Bill

Hmm thats weird cause a lot of ppl have told me that cams and injectors can be tricky and would be better left to a tuner to install them

Its depends on how much mechanical knowlegde you have.

Im a 3rd year Aerospace Engineering student and I have been

playing with turbos since I was young.

My moto is: If someone else can do it, well so can I.

No one is born with knowledge...you attain it.

With this mentality anything is possible!

Kind regards,

mr aerospace engineering

I have them installed

the o ring is shit doesn't even fit - not on mine anyway....I had fuel pissing out everywhere...

I adapted the OEM o-rings...works a treat. They are a bit noisy but I only have stock ones ot compare them to...I run over 250 and they never get over 80% duty.

Great...who sells new OEM rings?

As nissan apparently only sells them with the injectors.

Not too keen on re-using my old rings.

Give him a break. I've done the injectors before, and they're piss easy.

All you need is a brain and common sense. e.g. ttake this off, then what is the next logical step. Then do this etc etc.

Shit, fuel is pissing out, obviously i'm gonna turn the engine off.

For f@#$K sake fellas I have done

it before on a CA18 with top feed injectors.

Its my first time to do a RB with side feed injectors.

& I don't believe this "DIRECT BOLT-ON" crap that goes around.

All I ask is for is other peoples anecdotal experiences in

issues they have come across, not a step by step guide.

This has turned into a Comedy Show. ;)

lol agreed mate. Good luck getting a straight answer :P

ive fitted several sard injectors to rb25's. 550cc and 850cc types. I used the orings they provided and had no dramas at all with leaking fuel. No dramas with fitting the collars. The only thing that wasnt bolt on was the plugs. Every set i did had to have the plug cut off the injector loom and rewired to suit their plug. However ive been told that this has changed recently and their plugs are now straight plug n play with the std loom. But i dont know how old your injectors are.

Fark it was hard work....im just a dumbarse fabricator...what would i know about mechanics???

P.S You dont goto workshops...cause they are just as bigger dumbarses as anyone else...haha even mechanics and mechanical engineers. It's really quite sad.

Honestlly

I paid the extra $$$ and bought Nismo 550's this time as they are true bolt in...

I used Sard in the past on my first 33 and they leaked everywhere, none of the injectors sealed and I could not get the OEM rings on without breaking them... I ended up selling them and buying a fuel rail and top feed injectors, it was a bit of a nightmare to be honest...

yes as Col said already...if i was doing it again i would have gotten nismos also. A true straight bolt up set.

yeah I reckon if I was doing it again I would get the NISMOs...but as I got mine for free, including install etc I went was the Sards...and eys the plugs needed changing also..

They work fine once the o-ring issue was sorted out...dunno if they just gave me the wrong ones...kinda ghey for 600 dollars.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
