If you are using that Walbro 450L pump. Make sure you have an 2nd earth attached. Or very low fuel pressure.

By the way Another 5 x O 1200cc injector seized up on my car. lol

Asked my tuner to test fuel pressure but had all ready swapped out the fuel filter and said he is now making progress :)

Fuel filter was about 8 months old so my bad in not replacing it for the tune lol

Nek minute still not behaving.

Tuner stuffs around with more of his time your money.

Eventually puts pressure gauge on.

Eventually checks / re does pump wiring.

He is richer. You are poorer.

If you are using this fuel pump:

$(KGrHqVHJBcFBUUDMsuFBSbLZJsTnQ~~60_12.J

You must run two earth. You can just Tee it from the factory wiring and connect it straight to - terminal of your battery. It will then work.

Blocked fuel filter maybe? Just want to curl up and cry lol

It takes 2 seconds to bypass the filter and see if it's at fault.

If you run that pump off the stock wiring at all you are mad. Run a dedicated earth and fused power through a relay using decent gauge wire. 20 amps is a LOT of current.

Great news :(

I really regret buying mine now, these injectors are just horrible there's just no control at minimum pulse width. It's impossible to get a lean idle or cruise with these as it will just refuse to supply the right fuel.

On E85 my cruise and idle is about 13.5 to 14 AFR any leaner and the car refuses to drive smoothly.

Once I've got some cash flow, the Five O injectors are coming out.

No more garden hoses - I want a nice cone spray pattern!

I killed nearly 2 sets of stock Nissan injectors running united 85, id imagine the five 0 injectors would be the same not suitable for ethanol. put bosch 1000cc in and no problem after 18months.

Must be just united as my nismo 740cc have been on caltex eflex for 3+years and haven't failed and they are the same design as the std side feeds

But they're not re-manufactured like the Five O Injectors, I've had it with the shit spray pattern. They refuse to go any leaner than 13.5 AFR on E85 (gasoline scaling) and maintain a stable idle. On cruise I can't go any leaner than stoich without stupid pops and farts.

On E85 I would like to lean cruise in the 16 AFR region, but with these injectors - forget about it!

They either spray fuel like a garden hose OR they don't... I have no idea why the American forums rave about them - I'm moving towards the idea most of the positives are from member who do not do any tuning themselves thus aren't totally across the technical constraints these injectors pose.

After my rudimentary injector test using glass bottles, I can contest the spray & pray pattern is atrocious!

Let's see what Mr Tax man feels like this year, either a massive fisting (no new injectors) or he rewards (going top feed, the works)

I may be swapping my nismo 740cc's for top feed soon if your interested John?

Not completely sure if I'm going to do it yet, but the 740's would probably be lucky to have done 5000km at the moment.

Thinking about getting EV14's just because my tuner says he would be much happier tuning with them

Looks like Im the only one left with five0 injectors that havent died yet lol I ordered 1 Spare now incase they do ever die while im at the track. So even on e85 you still having idle problems? Thats strange

My idle with 740s on 85 is around 0.91-0.93 L which is ~ 13.5:1 . I haven't yet tried to go leaner idle or cruise (~ 1.01-1.03) on United yet .

I think a bit higher than standard base pressure would help if the injectors aren't too crudely made and close in flow .

Rolls option is EV14s but 740s are alright on E85 IMO . I was told to avoid Nismo SF550s like the plague because their short pulse performance is supposed to be terrible , worse than 740s not better .

I only have idle issues once I try and go leaner than 13.5 on idle.. on cruise it will sit close to 14 and far and piss a little around 13.8 AFRs seem to be ok.. but I don't want it that rich.. I'm just wasting fuel and ruining my economy..

On 98RON - forget about it.. car idles and cruises in the 12 region any leaner and just misses farts & pops..

Potato man, go leaner!

I've got my friend's S15 cruising at 16.5 AFRs and he's getting consistent ~400km per 45L (when the red light goes on)

I may be swapping my nismo 740cc's for top feed soon if your interested John?

Hey Cal, thanks for your offer however if I'm taking out the rail it's never seeing my intake manifold again :)

I'm adamant on top feeds, Siemen DEKA ones seem to fit the bill and requirements - they have a 30 degree cone spray pattern and come in short form which will clear all my plenum woes.. however Proflow / Aeroflow fuel rails only support 3/4 length top feeds. Once I find out the exact requirements/way to fit 1/2 length ones I'll convert soon enough.

These Five O injectors are pissing me off - ironically they work a treat on my friend's S15.. but yes, they're smaller at only 1000cc and are feeding a hungrier cylinder so it works out well.

Yeah I figured you might be having the same views as me if upgrading lol, but anyway. Doesnt hurt to put the offer out. Thought it might also push me over the edge to order the injectors if I had mine all but sold lol

Have just been talking to a friend about five-o injectors and he hasnt had problems with ones he has supplied yet, not problems that were injector faults anyway. So maybe there are just some unlucky people here? lol

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
