6 x Xspurt 1000's and Proflow RB25 rail would be around $800 through me I think Mark, with all adapters.

Scotty - will that rail fit with the stock plenum? We are looking at going to E85 in the next few months, so I am interested in an injector upgrade.

I think so mate, the 1000's might be a tight fit, but the shorty 750's and 2000's are definitely no issue. I may even be able to get 1000's in the same shorter 1/2 length.

The SR20 rail kit I sell comes with a plenum spacer to help the 1000's clear the upper plenum. Perhaps you could do a similar thing to the RB plenum halves using bakelite or a similar insulating material, that way you would stop the heat transfer into the upper plenum also.

What paper filter are you using, I was told to be careful when use paper filter cause the ethanol can/does eat away the "glue" that holds the filter element to the casing

I'm using a speed flow 10 micron stainless sceen filter but the paper ones can go down to 5-6 micron which would be better

I am using twin Proflow stainless mesh filters, I haven't cleaned them in 3-4 years, since they were installed. I can't remember what micron they were...

The paper filters I have been buying were SX brand, suitable for alcohol fuels. (They have a similar 8an housing to the proflow/Speedflow style filters, and might just drop in to them.) I run the SX fuel reg in my car without issues so I knew it was good gear.

A little Googling reveals Arram as a Japanese manufacturer who make injectors, throttle bodies and carburetors.

Yeah, just wasn't much info and didn't know if these were common in rb20's or not.

Most of the stuff says 550cc, so should be all good, cheers. ;)

Hopefully it doesn't cost you too much dyno time to set them up, it can take a while to work out suitable lag times etc with unusual injectors, and you are paying good coin for every minute it's on the dyno.

Unless you have the lag time report with them? Might be worth trying to source one.

Never knew injectors even came with a "Lag time report" lol..

I was going to get them tested and flowed before I chucked them on anyway. I think they're a little old.. :P

  • 4 years later...

To save starting a new thread.....

Is the contents of this thread still relevant?!?!

As in are the ID injectors still worth paying basically twice the price or are the EV1-Bosch items closer to the mark 5 years down the track?

(Looking for 11mm units to suit standard RB26 fuel rail to get me around the 400rwkw mark on E85...)

ID1300x or 1250cc.....?!?

There are better options (than ID specifically) and have been for years.  You should perhaps PM Scotty to find out what he can do for you.

Basically, if you can get unmolested EV14 injectors in the size you need, that is best approach.  But even the ones that have been decapped are pretty good.

I had tried pming Scotty before posting but either his inbox is full or there's an SAU issue as i just get an error saying he can't receive messages, or something similar....

Cheers for the reply though....

I do have the 1250cc injectors that Kudos sell in my 'cart' but after reading a few threads on here and then googling I was having second thoughts....

Tier 1 - ID 

Tier 2 (½ the price) - Bosch Motorsport

Tier 3 (aka shit and not worth it, also ¼ the price) - Everything else

Genuine Bosch Motorsport '040' injectors with adapters for RB26 manifold would be the go. I'm sure NZEFI sell them as a kit.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
