The only free time I've got to do this is after hours or weekend, which makes it hard for me to get them flow tested

5 out of 6 injectors have never met a fuel rail before before so no real point in cleaning it.

Although one was installed/ used for "photo shooting purposes" by the guy who sold it to me, I've put that one on cyl 1 for in case

Thanks Scotty but unfortunately I'm in Sydney

that said once I get this sorted and get some cash flow back again I will need one of your famous intake pipes before I visit Toshi

did too many things in one go and haven't been able to drive the car for almost 3 weeks is a pain

Lol

I'd love to but I don't think I'd be able to handle the amount of custom work required to convert them to top feeds

In saying that I'd be interested to see how you go with those Siemens

It is pretty easy to get the short 40mm Xspurts in there using a proflow/Aeroflow rail kit. All you need to do is shorten the supplied rail spacers, or I should be able to make you some standoffs soon.

Why didn't you try swap injector 1 to cylinder 2 and injector 2 to cylinder 1 to see if the issue follows the injector or if it stays on the injector channel?

Also interesting to see the Nismo injectors have jacked up price since I bought mine. That's interesting.

Scotty- am planning to go down that route if the spare injector I ordered still doesn't fix it

Sarge- yeah thought about that, just trying to avoid having to pull the rail out again in my apartment carpark and make the area smell like petrol

plus some of those "senior" residents are quite power trippy here, they can get quite annoying

Lol

they are amazing - there's no custom work to fit shit.. unless you call running new fuel hoses & mounting an external reg custom.. didn't have to relocate anything at all.. I even bought plug and play adapters so I didn't have to hack the harness.

Now to the fun part, the car idles so well I decided to lean it out to 15.7 AFR (gasoline scale) - I'm on E85 so it's ok.. however still no signs of popping and farting.

Man new age injectors are just magnificent!

I've measured up the spacers and shit and will pass the dimensions to scotty_nm35 to mock up on his test kit.. taken heaps of photos too

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
