Hey guys just throwing ideas around for my 300gt sedan, would 350gt injectors give me some kind of boost and would i need some sort of fuel management piggyback for it to work (my injectors are dying hense the idea)

It would only be worth doing (and i can sell you my 40,000km old injectors within the month once i go FI) if:

You get a piggy back and get a tune

if you stock injectors are smaller than our 288cc ones or 330cc (cant remember exactly)

if you have other mods (plenum spacer, pod, exhaust etc) that are increasing the air into engine and thus your engine needing more fuel (u will need a dyno to see how rich you are..)

Ahk awesome these are the things i need to know (im not overly knowledgeable) i do have a big pod filter on it but i don't know how much more air that would be giving her. Maybe I should do a dyno for a starting point?

Isn't your car a VQ30DD which means direct injection?

VQ35de injectors wont fit, they sit in the intake manifold - not the combustion chamber.

A Performance workshop you seek- and expect to pay a reasonable amount of money for small gains

Things like Intake/exhaust is where you should look.

^ what he said. The 300gt injectors are totally different to 350gt injectors, as the vq30dd is direct injected. The vq35de is not.

that said, there is no performance benefit at all with fitting larger injectors. In fact it will be detrimental. The only time you would need higher capacity injectors is if your current injectors can't supply enough fuel due to other mods, like turbo/supercharging.

a good quality aftermarket ecu with a custom tune will give some gains. But it is one of the poorest 'bang for you buck' performance mods, especially if you have no other mods. You would be best off starting with intake and exhaust. After you get your injectors sorted.

cool cool. i have a 2.5 inch exhaust and a larger air intake on her, probably just gonna get the injectors cleaned out by the workshop were i get my services etc and maybe run a dyno to see where i stand, would a higher flow cat give me a little more bang and as far as im aware they are not overly expensive

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
