seeing tho top feed injectors are easier to get hold of and tend to be a tad cheaper is it worth going one of these top feed conversion rails for r33 or should i just stick to the side feeds

Its not cheaper if you take into consideration that you need a forward facing plenum, I found out the hard way that a top feed rail simply does not fit on the standard plenum :rolleyes: lol

Hello!

I have recently bought (via EBAY) such a kit .. (so top feed conversion)

It came with the fuel rail, spacers, nice Bosch injectors, and connector pigtails.

The whole kit was about GBP 330 and came from the USA!

The fuel rail looks alright too, but I suspect made in China. (?)

I have not fitted it yet so I can not tell if it works.

You also will need a fuel pressure regulator since the OEM one is attached to the OEM fuel rail.

In addition you need to think about a set of fuel hoses/connectors since all the metal piping will be gone when you remov ethe OEM fuel rail (from fuel pump to rail, and return line from regulator)

I can upload some pictures .. (once I'm at home again)

I am not familiar with the whole mechanics, but why would one need a different plenum to go top feed?

Any help appreciated (before I start)

(Has anyone done this before??)

Hey mate,

Basically because the standard plenum curves back over itself, there is a height issue between the bottom of the plenum (where the injectors sit) and the top of the plenum.

So by using the forward facing plenum, it allows you to use top feed because there is no height restriction.

The injectors I had were fairly large so prehaps it MAY be possible to squeeze in there with smaller ones, but I wouldnt call it ideal lol

I went side feeds, cause its easy. Just pull the old ones out put the new ones in.

Only problem is not having any aftermarket side feed fuel rails to pretty things up

are you making over 400rwk? factory fuel rail is pretty darn good.

That said (as we find the limit of side feed injectors quickly on ethanol) the new company i develop for has a rail program i hope to implement with the short style bosch ID injectors in about 2months to fit r33 and S14 S15..

yeah the stock fuel rail just looks a bit out of place with a Greddy/Copy Manifold. Thats the main reason I want an aftermarket fuel rail. Circuit Sports make an aftermarket side feed rail but apparently it doesnt fit with the Greddy plenums.... Bit of a shame but oh well lol

There was a standard rail sold on here a little while ago, guy had it coated candy red, looked pretty good :thumbsup:

Hi!

OK .. that makes sense ..

From what I gathered my fuel rail (the new one) should plug right in.

My top-feeds one are only about 1cm longer compared to the side feeds.

We'll see .. (I will report)

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
