The guys name is John Hurley,

6 Little Rundle St

Kent Town

08 8362 4906

For the life of me I just cannot remeber the name of the joint sorry. Make sure you let him know that you want the injectors flowed and rated comparatively, ie 1 to 6 and ask him to mark the injectors properly, I had mine engraved with a number so no confusion:)

EDIT: tuning will most probably be done by D1 Garage (www.d1garage.com)

I removed the rail and tried lightly tapping the pintle with a socket and malet, but the plastic pintle surround shattered. I think the surround was there to help the spray pattern.

Did you cause any destruction using a hammer on the pintle? I'm not replacing injectors, just removing and cleaning.

No damage, except to the platic things. I was told by the mech that was helping me that they are quite cheap to replace.

Doesnt hurt to saturate the injectors with a bit of CRC as well:) But even then the little buggers just dont want to come out until I used the hammer.

B-Man, leaving them in the rail is just a chemical clean which works but isn't the best way to clean injectors. I'm removing them to have cleaned ultrasonicly and replace worn seals.

A friend came over and managed to pry them out of the rail with a wide flat head screw driver. Took a while to get the technique down but they popped right out once he had it figured out. Most of the plastic things survived too :). But they are cheap to replace.

Good to hear you got it sorted, how much did the little plastic joeys end up costing each?

I may have spoken too soon. The injector cleaning place I went to said pintle caps to suit our injectors are hard to find. Not too big of a problem though, the pintle caps are just there to secure the lower o-ring, they don't affect spray pattern at all.

The injector guy ended up modifying pintle caps from another injector type to suit. It looked like it'd do the job but a couple of the injectors popped out when I tried test pressurizing the rail at home. It may have been because I didn't screw the injector caps back on, but I think the injectors should make a pretty good seal with the rail even without the injector caps on. Any one know?

I now officially hate side feed injectors.

Don't damage the pintle caps when removing your injectors, there are no replacements available! It probably won't matter if you are careful though, half off mine were broken even before I removed them from the rail. Found a new injector guy who's trying to make custom pintle caps for me. Hopefully these ones will seal properly.

The pintle caps are the little plastic bits that 'claw' around the bottom of the injector right ????

What affect does broken pintle caps have on the injection system, pattern and flow ? ??

The reason I ask is because ALL of my pintle caps were broken when I pulled my injectors out to take a peek !

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
