Hi Fellas,

At the moment, I have nismo 555cc injectors. I currently have 311 rwkw but will be putting more boost in the car soon to get around 370 rwkw and I will need a slight fuel upgrade.

My tuner suggest putting a fuel pressure regulator on the car rather than get 740cc injectors, what do you guys thinks?

WHat are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

First difference is price I guess, injectors are $900 where as FPR is $160.

Is there disadvantages associated with running a FPR?

THanks fellas

The NisMo 555cc should be good for between 260-330kw. My belief is that you are running them close to their full potential. Go the 700cc if your budget will allow you to eat.

The only disadvantage with an FPR is that sometimes heat will cause them to crap out. This of course depends on the brand. The Malpassi rising rate FRP's are known for this. Keep it away from your exhaust manifold (The fuel lines are in the intake side) and you should be good.

You can, generally, fairly safely increase the fuel pressure to the injectors with an adjustable FPR. But keep it sensible.

By increasing the fuel pressure, you get a much better spray pattern, and therefore better atomisation of the fuel in the mixture.

So are youu saying that with a FPR i wont be able to reach 370 rwkw?

Not with the 555cc's.

But for high power applications FPR's are a must.

While the pump provides fuel flow, the FPR will hold a given amount of pressure at the fuel rail. This is of course limited to the fuel pump used. The fuel pump must be able to supply the amount of fuel required by all the injectors in wide open throttle (WOT) conditions at the maximum boost level anticipated. A 20% safety margin (that is, the pump can supply 20% more fuel than is actually required) is often needed to avoid overheating the pump or a momentary lean mixture (and possible damage to pistons, valves, or rings). If the fuel pump is not up to the task, then the pressure will not be present at the rail, thus limiting the injector efficiency.

As the fuel pressure can impact on the amount of fuel discharged throughout the injector cycle it is vital that this pressure is kept constant and with this aim excess fuel is sent back to the fuel tank through the fuel return circuit located within the regulator.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
