heya,

got a quickie for ya's

Installed 6x 550cc Siemens injectors into my rb26dett

The injectors came with 2x orings up top and 1 grommet down bottom.

For installation, does 1 oring go inside the fuel rail when slipping in the injector, and the other oring sits outside? ie squeezed between fuel rail & injector?

creates an inner seal inside the fuel rail with oring

creates an outer seal between injectors and rail.

is this correct? or is only 1 oring used (inside the fuel rail)

I have the seimens 550s. Mine came with a large single o-ring at the top, a couple of which leaked after a short while. When i pulled them to check they had torn. Replaced all six with the factory o rings pushed down to the bottom of the mounting area, and they have been perfect since.

thank you.

I used a little bit of degreaser on the orings to help slide them in ok.

One oring at the top inside to create an internal seal, another lowered onto the injector body to create an external seal where the injector body meets to fuel rail

orings were the same size tho. no big deal. once tightened down with the 2 fuel rail bolts it seems ok.

Havent fired it up yet, working on fuel system atm

(surge tank, braided fuel line, external 305lph walbro, internal gtr pump, + just finishing off radiator upgrade & oil filter relocation kit)

awaiting a $15 gtr remap chip, then will try firing up the engine

thanks again for the advice

quickie

with the injectors installed being 550cc, and dead stock ecu...

the car "shouldnt' start, right?

it may start but be very very rich. If it doesn't start it would have already fouled the plugs.

careful with the grease used, it must tolerate petrol. pulled my fuel rail off the other day and the injectors were siezed in place, the grease had broken down.

next time just wd40 for me

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
