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

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

Is there disadvantages associated with running a FPR?

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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
