some tuners may reccomend bigger injectors because they cost stuff all more and allow plenty of room for future growth

which brings me to my actual question, is there any difference btween 550s and 740s apart from the flow capabilities.

I'm not sure what i mean exactly but are smaller injectors more effective ?, efficient ?

The difference between 550's and 740's is that to make the most of the 740's you need a built motor. If you dont intend on doing this in the near future, just get the 550's, better tunability, idle quality, cold start. If later you need to upgrade dur to wanting more power, you can sell the 550's for stuff all less than you paid for them.

How much did it cost you to get hi-flowed?

I got mine done as a sponsor type of thing with creatd, so price cant be said.. but you can give them a call the number is in my sig, tell them i referred you and speak to Rob.

These injectors visually look stock.. but their are precisely 720cc on each injector, tunability is great aswell. These were used on their white drag r33 gtr with 440AWKW and ran a mid 10 quarter mile.

My brothers 180 uses them aswell, does not miss a beat and is heavily drifted non stop.

There have been a number of threads with suppliers/prices and so on.

Just search with "hi-flow" "injectors" and you'll be right

Personally i wouldn't use hi-flowed injectors.

Cheers mate!

I think i'll take the safe option and grab a set of spankers. lol. No point cutting costs.

and why wouldnt you ash? i got my set for WAY cheaper than a set of sards or nismos.. give me a solid reason why u wouldnt use them?

i can give a solid result using them and a tomeii pump with a stock reg when my car is tuned.. using these injectors which cost me stuff all.

also look up the white gtr that they ran, 10.5 with over 400kw and traction issues, used these injectors from day 1..

the EVLR34 gtt uses these, made 350kw on c16 040 pump and an internal gate 3540 .82

all of these cars are safely tuned with a rich air fuel ratio..

and why wouldnt you ash? i got my set for WAY cheaper than a set of sards or nismos.. give me a solid reason why u wouldnt use them?

And by your own admission you didnt pay anywhere near close to RRP for them :(

I dont have access top flow test, spray test and so on.

So for the what, $150-200 difference (talking RRP here, not mates rares), i'd rather go with something used the world over.

Thats just me, i used to skimp on $100 here, $200 there and paid double many times.

So until i see flow testing, spray pattern testing etc etc for my own viewing, i'll go with the know.

Thats just how i am these days as im not modding on a tight budget anymore

im not modding on a tight budget.. iv seen the flow test on these injectors.. and they flow a shitload, (i cant say exact figures because i dunno wtf im looking at) but yeah.

"And by your own admission you didnt pay anywhere near close to RRP for them" meaning?

well you said you got your set WAY cheaper... that really has nothing to do with it as you didnt pay close to retail.

So when your talking normal pricing, there is only $150-200 difference.

Have you got any spray pattern comparisons Nismo vs Flowed?

Just a flow bench doesn't convince me.

if you wanted to, you can compare them.. and they will be very close between eachother.

$200 is still 200 doesnt matter what it is.. 50 bucks is a diff story.

Nismo's and Sards are easier to get your hands on, but bang for buck.. Cant go past a set of highflows.. (i dont mean that in a cheap and nasty way.. eg. slide highflows)

if you wanted to, you can compare them.. and they will be very close between eachother.

$200 is still 200 doesnt matter what it is.. 50 bucks is a diff story.

Yeah, but by the time you pay to test them flow/spray and so on (for my piece of mine)

Suddenly the $200 saving isnt $200 anymore for peace of mind, where out of the box Nismo items im not worried at all

Its each to thier own in this one i reckon. Just personal choice.

Detonating a motor due to a sticking high flowed injector, would seem completely ridiculous in hindsight (im aware 99% of mod'd units work fine)

For ~$100 / brand new injector, any debate at all between High Flow <-> New SARD/NISMO, is pure craziness when dealing with something that represents such a critical single point of failure.

just one thing as far as selecting size of injector... i went for 555cc nismos. i have heard from plenty of tuners that you shouldnt get any bigger than you need as the larger the injector the most 'unstable they are and low rpms' and are harder toncontrol...which makes sense to me...just something to consider...

like most things bigger is not always better...

^^^^^ thanks for that waffles, i was worrying about the roughness during low rpm, so id say 800cc are too big for me then :banana:,

im running 210rkw on 13 pounds, so 555cc is more than enough if i want 250-270rwk with a GTRS then..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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"
