Hi everyone,

As the topic states i'm just curious to know wether 550cc injectors are essential to reach the goal of around 250rwkw? Alot of people tell me that its better to get them but i've been offered (quiet often) sets of 440cc S15 injectors new and used. I'm just wondering if i can get away with the 440s and a fuel reg as i'm going to get it tuned pretty soon.

My engine mods are:

GT2876R

Power FC

Fuel pump 040 (or any other suggestions?)

full exh.

I/C

EBC

Z32 AFM

Also i'm only planning to run under 1 bar around 12-13psi.

Thankyou all in advance and I apreciate any input... :)

I've heard from both SK and Hitman that stock injectors and fuel reg are good upto about 240kw. However with a GT2876R it would be pretty silly :nyaanyaa:

Yea thats true, but i suppose you need to look at the condition of the standard injectors aswell if your making that power. When I buy injectors they'll be brand new as much as 2nd hand ones are tempting but i just wont want to take that risk on the motor.

Has anyone heard much about the SARD 550's at all? They are going cheaper than usual at the moment for a decent injector and i'm sort of considering buying them, otherwise i've found brand new set of S15 440s for a couple hundred cheaper but just not sure. Thanks again for the input everyone, all is apreciated.

I am making 252rwkw with stock injectors with out a problem. I have sold (pending payment) my 555cc injectors and will buy again when I do a rebuild for the next stage.

Thats pretty good dude, but yea i just don't know my car well enough to trust it with standard stuff when its going to be making that sort of power. I suppose every car is different and react differntly to certain things you do to it. But no chance i'm using my standard injectors when i go for the tune.

i would rather have them in the car to be honest, but the tuner did not want them in, said to do it next time and i need the money for other things now...

Don't know how you'll go getting 240rwkw @ 12-13 psi. I would've thought you'd need 15psi plus. 440's will do it fine - I've got 550's and 250 rwkw and they're only at 60%.

Cheers

Yea well you never know what happens on the day of the tune, besides who knows exactly how much kw cars push most dynos give you a higher figure than what your car really has.

For example, I tuned my car with my safc @ chasers, i only had full exhaust system, fmic, bleedvale @ 12psi (that didn't even hold boost properly), pod filter and thats about it, the dyno sheet said 214.9rwkw, now thats hard to belive....

Every cars differnt but i'm just saying if i dont get upto 240kw on that much boost i dont really care anyway, i'm not after a power figure i just want everything to work the way its set up to... And with the turbo i've got and the setup i've got i just want everything to complement everything else. I just want to be on the safe side really, but seems like 550s will be the safest choice ey...

Thats why shootout mode was invented, so I would have the same power readout in Canberra as someone in Sydney. Because things like different atmosphere and temperatures and the like.

So how can it be deadly accurate? A lot of people i've spoken to have said its rare to get a place to dyno your car that will give you a 100% accurate reading... is this true?

DD Shootout Mode doesn't improve accuracy so much as it improves parity between different dynos.

Ahuh... so how do you get a 100% accurate reading? or is it impossible cos theres 2 many factors that could effect it? wheel spin and all that shit?

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
