Hi,

As topic suggests I need the 13b turbo 460cc spray pattern changed to the same pattern as what the rb20det 270cc injectors spray at.

Does anybody know where i can get this done, or if i can get this done. Any one with experience with injectors or have had it done before. Also is it cost effective. i got the 13bt injectors for free..

Thank you in advance..

Daniel

bhadve,

reason to change pattern is because they were one direct squirt and were not atomising properly causing all little problems like not idling correctly..

They were in a rb20 with 242rwkw which has a few issues, changed injectors and problems went away..reason why i acquired them...

Thanks for the response, i might do what you suggest though i will look at other alternatives such as changing the pattern first..my plan is about 250rwkw out of an rb20 so I dont want issues straight away..

Cheers Daniel

I dont know was not on my engine...

I know it was tuned to the best it could be at the time. It was determined that certain issues were occuring due to the injectors having the wrong/ or a diferent spray pattern. This is as much i know of. I may be able to get a dyo chart for th specific run...

Thanx for the replys, though I am still curious to see if any one knows if it is possible to get the spray pattern changed???

I will give a few workshops a call during the week, just wanted to see ig anyone had feedback first...

Cheers

Advantage: They're cheap. Just make sure they are high impedence.

I'm not sure how you'd go about trying to change the spray pattern.

I found the s4 550's took a fair bit of tuning around idle and light throttle to get it smooth on my old rb20 but other than that they worked fine. I had them cleaned and a couple of pintle caps swapped as some were cracked when i bought them. As long as you don't expect to just chuck them in, adjust the injector correction value, and drive away they are fine.

The s6 ones in my rb25 were just chucked in, correction set and then a bit of light tuning in the idle region with an O2 sensor jammed in the exhaust and driven for a few weeks before getting the proper tune done.

A mate also installed a set of NA s5 injectors on his CA. Again, no problems. I'm pretty sure they were low impedence though, which is why you should check.

as far as i know you can't change spray pattern, unless of course they are dirty and can be cleaned to rectify the spray pattern fault. otherwise your stuck with what the injectors spray from factory/design.

some injectors spray better with more or less fuel pressure, you need to experiment on the bench to know what works best.

spray pattern should only make a difference on idle if you run full sequential injection timed to inlet cam opening duration, if you had an ecu that uses non sequential it will make two tenths of stuff all difference becauses its sprayed onto the back on the inlet valve and the hot valve helps it atomoize anyway.

The spray pattern of the rx7 550cc (Part # 195500-2020) is rather crap compared to the stock injectors.

When I watched them being cleaned and tested I noticed that they were more of a squirt than a spray.

Up side they are cheep and high impedance.

Down side is my idle is a little erratic.

When I watched them being cleaned and tested I noticed that they were more of a squirt than a spray.

Did the "squirt" fan out about 5mm when it just came out of the tip of the injector, then go into a solid stream? If so, they are meant to do that. When I got my injectors cleaned (RB30), they did the same thing. The guy cleaning said that is normal. When they are operating in an engine they are only on for a short amount of time, so the fuel doesn't get a chance to turn into a stream. Also, the air stream going past the injectors doesn't allow the fuel to get past the fan shaped spray.

GTR injectors FTW...

the spray pattern is perfect and they are easier to tune with due to the idle issues with the 550's and you can pickup a set for around $250

Yeah I tuned my brothers R32 with R34 GTR injectors and it idle better than it did with the stock injectors.

So yeah I am chasing a set atm.

Nah they were spraying lots of huge droplets everywhere rather than a fine mist.

Sorry I was being a little vague with calling it a squirt. :P .

mztrbo, why would you put in a set of injectors that had problems in a friends car? get them cleaned and tested etc.. if they are fine after that then put them in, from what ive heard many times again the "jet" at the base of the injector is different on the rotary injector due to the fact then when it sprays fuel into a rotary it has a shorter time to put in the right amount of fuel.. hence they squirt rather then atomise properly.

dead32,

first reason I got them for free?

Second reason, the car is not going to be a daily driver so ive already accepted the fact that it will idle like crap, the car it was in was tuned to idle higher then normal about 300-400rpm higher from memory and still use to hunt.

Thank for all th replys guys it has helped substantially..i think im not going to worry about changing spray patter, I have not even called an injector mob yet so that shows the lack of inititive...

Ive actually just purchased an rb25, so no more rb20...

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
