If they are really jecs injectors then they would probably be great, however you have no real way of testing.

Why dont you find someone to highflow your stock injectors once you need to get it done?

Its cheap, easy and proven not to be too bad tune wise etc.

Hi,

Yeah ... I'm really torn ..

Used ones I would not like buying since you never know if they're actually working alright.

(They're also hard to find)

New Nismos are double the $$$ ..

The seller claims his items are brand new, best would be to ask him for the model (number), so I can do

some research.

If it's too good to be true, it mostly isn't ;)

Ohhh ... Hi!

You aren't Stao, are you?

I was meaning to talk to you (people?) anyhow regarding this:

R33 Turbo

As for the injectors .. I would not buy any high flowed for sure, but the seller said 'New' ...

Otherwise I would not lose to much time thinking about it and just bite the bullet and buy these:

Nismo

Buy brand new injectors. I throw all mine out (800cc high flow) and replaced them with brand new set. run heaps smoother and getting 2x the amount of mileage out of the same amount of fuel.

I've had hard time figuring out the cause of my test car's roughness, it turned out to be the injectors.

JECS supply OEM parts for Nissan, most of 550cc or 800cc JECS injectors that I've seen are high flows. I've been recommended by my tuner about the new ID injectors which works extremely well. I've also used brand new Power enterprise and Nismo injectors in other test cars that worked exceptionally well too. Generic highed flow injectors are unlikely to have as much droplets per spray compare to purposely built aftermarket injectors, so personally I would buy brand new purposely built injectors.

Turbo wise, every thing you need to know about high flows, different combinations of wheels and housings, installations, tuning, trouble shooting, latest ideas, innovations and solid data of each every one of them are all in our high flow thread, Its been indexed, please have a read and feel free to post up any questions.

Hi Stao,

I will PM you after I had a read .. (I already had some reads :))

As for the injectors, so what you say is that these are possibly 'New' high flowed?

Geez .. I think they're also just delivered in a plastic bag, so probably 'origin unknown'

I really would like to save, but on the other hand having 'dodgy' injectors might be a loose end

when trying to tune your car.

And till today I always bought quality .. Tomei (pump, cams), Trust (downpipe) , HKS (boostcontroller) ... and Nistune :)

Close your eyes and pay for the Nismos. Brand new set of genuine Nismo 740cc could be had for about $750.

I got my set, still unused but I feel comfortable with knowing what they are. JECS make alot of oem parts for Nissan. Made by JECS for Nissan Motors.

Highflowing smaller flow injectors is dick shit.

I tried to look for ways to save money when modding my car. Sure I saved but no where near what I liked it to be. I bought and sold alot of generic shit which I didn't feel comfortable with. Now Ive got a nice clutch, sexy turbo, reliable injectors, reputable ECU, quality exhaust, genuine intercooler, top of the range boost controller. It cost a little more but it will go alot further.

True, it's not worth saving on these crucial parts I guess.

Just out of interest:

$750 sounds like a good deal .. what is the source for these?

Thanks!

I'll never know why people skimp on injectors, maybe because they are small parts so people don't feel like they're getting much for their dollars, but they are probably the most important modification to get right during a turbo upgrade. You'll waste a lot of dyno time trying to figure out flat spots and fuelling issues if you get it wrong.

Keep shopping around eBay and be patient...sets of 555s come up for around $450-$600 second hand all the time.

From memory some turbo Subaru's had 550cc side feed high imp injectors

No reason to think they are high flowed....well actually they are...how do you think injectors are made?

they arent cast with little holes in them, they are all drilled by the factory, so a 270cc side feed that looks like that will have them same pintle with smaller holes drilled by the factory than a 370 or a 550

The chap I bought them from was local. I paid $650 for the set if I recall correctly. Brand new in the boxes. I checked the packaging I got from him and he bought them for more from some performance place in QLD, I can't remember the name(a while ago now) it was sunny something or sun something performance something or rather. They are up and queensland. With these injectors and alot of boost, I get about 45 - 55% injector duty, so alot of headroom.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
