They are sitting in a box about to go in in a few weeks, will report in my worklog when I get it tuned, could be a while as it has to pass a defect inspection and still needs some parts.

Bought them mainly because they are bolt/plug in and are the same colour as stock, also I have not heard anything bad until GT piped up.

:cheers:

see another thing I dont understand is why, if these are made from new stock would they not go to the extra little effort to make a few more holes in the nozzle if it is so improtant for atomization and all..

I was looking at a set of 550s the other day, I thought were nismos 555s but they had a 10 hole spray nozzle where Nismos only have 4..I think they were subaroo injectors or somethign

Now this should make car run/idle great smooth and economical, but would the improved atomization be enough to compensate a lack of fuel should I hit 500hp..

I guess I could bump up rail pressure but............:unsure:

they were the same price as nismos anyway

I imagine making extra equal sized holes would be quite difficult to reliably do all the same size etc. Would probably mean a higher percentage don't pass their quality control. That or it may not even be possible for them to drill extra holes due to the material etc.

HHmmm, I may be wrong, And please let me know Guilt Toy and I will keep my mouth shut and retreat back to my corner, but I think everyone is missing the big picture.

Now im no expert, but this is what I do know about injectors.

No 2 injectors are the same, Even out of the same batch, out of brand new boxes there are always slight variations. These may be flow rates at certain pulse widths or voltages or pressures.

It may be one injector operates correctly at 1.123 ms where another needs 1.204 to deliver a good spray pattern at idle. Now any good tuner will have a bench tester to check these things before they go any where near your car. Even brand new injectors need to be tested, I have literally tested thousands and have sent many back because of poor or inconsistent flow rates or poor injector latency.

Now...... If an injector dies, fails completely is that bad? No its an unfortunate event.... if there is no bang in the cylinder, there is no heat. If there is no heat then its not lean and nothing melts.

However, what If an Injector at 6500 rpm, at 75psi at 12.6ms flows 10% less than his 5 friends?

Now, if you are tuning with individual cylinder temps/AFR's then this will become very apparent, and something can be dome about it........ but what if you not?

Actually, this is a little test for all you budding tuners out there. Next time you are road mapping your Power FC, Jump on the brakes, get your engine up too a few pound of boost, watch your AFR's then pull 10% out of one cylinder....... and what what happens too your AFR's......... They will go from 13.2:1 to probably around 13.3:1.

Now if this is the case, then at full noise who is too say that your "safe" mixtures of 11.8:1 are not

1 - 10.5:1

2 - 13.3:1

3 - 11.5:1

4 - 10.1:1

5 - 11.7:1

6 - 12.8:1

Hands up who knows what cylinder is going to die first? You guessed it..... old mate number 2, but your mixtures where 11.8:1 they where safe.

The thing here is not always to go for the best cheapest quality you can find, they are the ones that haven't been tested, that don't get put into specific batches so they are as similar as they can be.

For the sake of even an extra $350 it may save you an engine just to know that they are right. And even then get them tested any way.

I haven't even touched on the spray pattern quality and its effects on flame propagation and heat dissipation yet. That's for another day.

Gasket leaks can also cause similar symptoms, I had a bad air leak on cyl 3 and 4, luckily my tune was super rich at ~10.5:1 so it wouldn't have been more than ~12.5:1 on the other cylinders.

But yeah, good advice, and also why I believe the deatchwerks to be a good injector because they already come with a complete bench flow test report for each cylinder. Though because I am super anal I am considering getting them bench tested locally as well, might be some useful information for this thread anyway.

Anyone recommend flow testing in Adelaide?

even after this post he is not going to change his mind. "people" need to learn the hard way. (including myself, been there done that)

I just have one thing to say, the injectors should be of the highest quality as possible.

great post Hyped6

So why are DW bad then?

:ermm: ouch...

You are right though, its the old "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink" syndrome that I suffer from frequently..

BUT...truth is I was still sitting on the fence about the whole thing and when I read Hyped post this morning and it actually made the difference and I fell off the fence.

Also with postage (which I miscalculated) the DWs werent working out as cheap as I had hoped either..Plus there is the hassle of buying form overseas etc..

So because its my last purchase on this build and as you say one of the most important, a couple of hundred extra now after all I have spent should be the least of my worries..

I rang my injector guy to see what else he could offer and now have some special planned just for you...;)

Its a little over the top, but the price is right and the equipment is good so...Stay tuned!!

:thanks:

I didn't get charged for postage, they billed me for the injectors and sent an invoice for shipping but never charged me for it. Took 1 week to get here.

If the DW have the same spray pattern/nozzle, they come with injector flow tests and lets just assume that a local flow test also matches this then what is the issue?

They bolt in and look stock which no others do and they have the same spray pattern etc, if they flow identically then it seems they have two pros, cheaper, look stock over everything else and no cons?

I am really quite confused where you are coming from GT. How does the quality differ from bosch etc? What evidence do we have that there is any difference what so ever?

So of the 10 people I counted using these injectors in this thread, 10 are very happy with them and have no issues...

So 100% positive feedback from people who use and own them? Interesting

^^lol..

JFTR, my change of mind wasnt due entirely to doubts on the DWs, though I did hear "made in china", but what isn't these days

I Would still like to see some proof they are no good as well..

I just had other ideas that prevailed eventually... :thumbsup:

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
