Hey guys, I'm looking at upgrading my injectors and just wondering if PWR are a decent brand. To be honest, I haven't heard much of them, but apparently they use injectors made by Denso? Doesn't Denso supply a lot of OEM injectors? That should mean it's ok, yeah?

The reason I'm asking is that I have been waiting 2 months for my Nismo 600cc injectors to ship from Japan without success. The workshop has 700cc PWR injectors (I believe TL700) in the garage that are ready to go, and asked me do I want to go ahead with these (they are actually cheaper). I don't think they need to modify the fuel rails or anything - I believe it's a direct fit.

Thanks.

Power Enterprise are very high quality. Equal to or possibly better than SARD, HKS etc but no evidence to prove that of course. I spoke with Power Enterprises a few days ago at AutoSalon and saw some of their other products including the injectors. They have the injectors made to their spec by Denso so manufacturing quality is second to none, as far as development goes, they have an extremely good name in injectors.

PWR ENT also do Kevlar Timing belts which are 700 times stringer than factory belts. Just in case you were wondering.

How much are these PWR 700cc items worth out of curiousity?

I have also heard good things about PWR stuff. Good quality with reasonable pricing.

Ask R31Nismoid, he's a forum trader so he'll be able to get you a good price on them

rubbish...they are all made by Denso...no brand is better than the other. P.E. were blowing smoke up your arse saying that they get them specially made to their spec.

Heller44 you are spot on my friend.

When I checked the denso part number on my 700cc sard's the same number corresponded to P.E. and a couple of others as well.. Looks like more putting a new box around the same product.

This is old news. Denso have always made injectors for a large number of different companies but each company can specify design characteristics if they wish.

Which is what I said. They are made by Denso for P.E to P.E specs.

Pintle cut angle, travel distance and impedence are just a few things that can be changed when designing an injector. I never said P.E is better. I said possibly better. That all depends on the application it's used in and the characteristics put into each one. Not all injectors are just an 'off the shelf' denso item. While companies like HKS may be happy with the design Denso is using for their off the shelf item, they may not and want to make some changes based on their research.

I can email Denso to confirm this if you really want me to.

How much do they sell for?

Im about to sell a set of sard's (700's) and wouldnt mind knowing whats a fair price to put on them :P

If they are in good nick and not too old you should be able to get $500-$600 for them only because it will cost $1000 for new ones. When the dollar gets better you might only be looking at around $400

if you could do that that would be great.

Ok I called Power Enterprise in Japan first but no one spoke english there so I called them in the USA. Please go here http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/products...ector/index.htm and read the top of the page. Co-produced with Denso EXCLUSIVELY FOR POWER ENTERPRISE

I am still waiting for a call back from Denso Australia on an english speaking contact from Denso Japan who I can email. Would you like more proof or are you happy to accept that I am correct?

I would prefer you fly the Japanese dude over so I can have him tell me to my face that they are different before I believe any of this waffle.

Where do you get off taking you information from a company's corporate display at Tokyo Auto Salon?

Sheesh.

you have come up with nothing...what have you proved?

it actually says co-produced with Denso (denso make the injectors PE the packaging and marketing)...exclusively offered by Power Enterprise. Its clever wording Daniel..all PE need to do is make the box they come in and they can say co-produced...easy way to make people think they are getting something better...when actually its the same thing everybody else is producing. I have friends in marketing who tell me this is an old trick they use all the time when competing against an identical product.

ill buy a few of each and test them to make my own opinion. I would never believe a sales/marketing jibe as gospel...and only a fool would. These clever marketing campaigns suck some people in as it improves the companies market share in these tough times.

I bet the 700cc units are identical in spray pattern and flow to the SARD 700cc units.

What's to say SARD don't use a similar or the same design for their injector?

I will get confirmation from Denso as it is clearly the only way to convince you. All I am saying is they are not just an off the shelf Denso Injector. They may be the same as a SARD or HKS in their design but you wouldn't know unless you pulled them both apart. Spray pattern will only tell you half the truth and only a fool would believe that a comparison of spray pattern was going to reveal anything conclusive

hahahahahaha you get funnier with each post Daniel.

give up pal.

make sure you get the plugs with them as they are not the same as sards :D

    • 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"
