Leaking Injectors....

Covered a million times on here before and i have done a search as well..

But basically my new r33 gtr skyline's injectors are leaking from around 3 of them, 2 being at the top of the injector and the other from the bottem..

One of the ones that leaks from the top (nearest to front of engine) just pours out constantly..

Whats the best solution to curing this? car is stock with stock injectors.

Should i just take it to an injector specialist in bunbury (although i dont any) can anyone reccomend anyone? so they can clean and put new seals on (hoping that they are not cracked) and clean them...

Or should i just buy later injectors off a r34 gtr???

GTR injectors will always leak eventually. If you bought new ones, take them back for a refund. If you bought second hand ones, then buyer beware. If you buy another set of GTR injectors, they will ALSO leak eventually. They all do, there is no way to fix them.

Before ditching them, though, check the top and bottom seals to be sure it is the injectors fault. Usually they leak from the small holes near the top on the side when the car is running. They will not leak when the car is not running.

They would leak when engine is off due to fuel pressure left in the pressure side of the fuel system.

Once the pressure has escaped it should stop. If it's definately not the orings and it is the injectors, might be a good time to get some new injectors (bigger) and a tune to suit?

If you turn the key to the on position and you start getting leaks, then try replacing the o-rings first. Replace both top and bottom. You can get these from any injector cleaning place or mobile guy or from Nissan at approx $1 each I think (I don't know exact price as I buy them in bags of 200)

If the injectors leak from the small holes on the side near the top, then they are fubar and you will need to buy new ones.

For a basic street car, just get some siemens ~500cc and a Nistune or something equivalent. If you are after something more serious, talk to your tuner or mechanic more about the size they recommend and the brand they recommend.

Just turned the key to the on position (without the engine running) and straight away fuel on 3 of the injectors started to leak fom the top down does this mean it will be the o rings then?

If its right at the top near the rail then yeah, probably o-rings. If you're not sure, just change them anyway because they're cheap and its an easy job. Search the DIY - i did a write up. Interestingly, i had to remove my rail recently and just pulling it out and reinstalling it was enough to kill 2 orings FFFUUUUU.... Probably should have pulled all the injectors out of the rail and re-lubed them.

Well today my injectors coem from america..

Anyway used the guide on here to fit em all is well on idle..

As soon as i just drive normally it has a miss like its trying or should i say nearly running on 5 cylinders, put your foot down and that goes away although on full boost boost it does leave a cloud of black smoke which it didnt used to do...

Anyway my question is does this mean one or more of the new to me std gtr injectors aint flowing enough??

Should i just take em all of again and get em flo tested or could this be somat else?

Note it didnt miss like this when the old leaking injectors were in...

What boost are you running? Are the replacement injectors new or used?

Black smoke = rich mixture, which you'd expect on a stock ECU, especially if you've raised the boost.

I also think so.

Just tried this out then and i can hear a leak coming from the first injector, I cant really tell weather it's coming from the top or bottom though.

I cant visually see or smell fuel but just a leaking air sound?

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
