I'm starting to put plans together to up the power in my R33 gtst. It has/will have a bunch or normal mods - bigger turbo, FMIC, boost controller, full exhaust, nismo fuel pump, Power FC etc.

The thing Im unsure about is that of fuel injectors. I had planned to go Nismo 555 as a step up from standard. I'm not planning to chase high power with my car, I'm just planning to make the most of my mods and get it tuned so its comfortable and reliable as my daily, but still has the power that these mods allow. That said, I'm wondering what life would be like getting the next size up injectors; 740s?

What's the difference in Nismo 555 vs 740?

For standard fitment, are they side or top feed?

and

Is a fuel pressure regulator something I would need in my modifications too, or is it unnecessary?

740cc man, 555cc you'll run out of injector very quickly.

I'm running 875cc stainless steel top feeds and at 343kW I'm already sitting at 87% duty.

Go top feed man, if you use half height injectors they will fit underneath the stock plenum easily without any silly spacers ot deleting hoses like other homo kits.

The difference is 185cc.

555 would be fine for up to 350kw ...I bought 550 Deatschwerks but today I would buy something more modern like a set of ID750s from Scotty. Get in touch with him and he will give you a good steer.

Get a more modern ECU if you can afford it too - otherwise Power FC will be fine.

For the price of nismos you can get conplete kit with everything you need to fit top feeds into r33 its what i just did 1000cc xpurts 40mm length ,rail,aeroflow reg,fittings,hose all off Scott.

Not a big fan of the 740cc side feeds, we have tuned heaps of both the 555's and the 740's and the 740cc injectors never tune up anywhere near as nice, they don't idle as well, and the cruise isn't as nice.....WOT is no different but the rest is.

If it was me and needed anything bigger than the 555's I would be doing a top feed setup with Bosch 1000's

I've tuned with the 740s before on a SR20 but not on a RB and didn't have real issues.. but taking note that per cylinder a SR uses more fuel than a RB hence idle/cruise might have been better as it required a higher duty cycle

Take the majority advice dude, ditch the Power FC and go for something a little more modern(adaptronic, haltech), go with the bigger injector. I use 740cc Nismo injectors which are great. I've also used the 555cc nismo injectors. I had no issues with either car idling with my Power FC. My 740cc crack about 60% injector duty cycle so I have headroom for E85 but I will be cutting it OH SO CLOSE.

If you're gonna do it, plan it properly and do it right. I started modding my car years ago. Injectors have really come down in price and there are some more options for ECU's. The real pro's of a modern ECU are you can add inputs for mafless setups, flex fuel, other sensors etc. The pfc is a brilliant ecu but its outdated. A larger resolution can also give a tune far more detail and it can make the car feel just that much smoother.

If I was building my car today from scratch, none of the parts I have in there now would be used. They're good for their time and back then more affordable than what is available now. I also was lucky, I picked up my nismo injectors pretty damn cheap. Even cheap for todays prices. They've got up since I bought them.

With that said, I love my car :D

FYI;

Nismo 555's are Side feed, and drop in to your standard rail. yes you will need a reg, anytime you change your fuel system from stock, as you will need to re-calibrate the pressure. ID1000 or EV14 injectors are top feed and require custom rail/collars.

sounds to me your pretty much doing teh same thing i did, on my first round of mods, with a very similar parts list. in which i have my old pfc and tomei z32 for sale atm, which got me up and over 500rwhp.

as for the comment about the 1000's being cheaper, not true. sure the injector itself is but its all the other shit u gotta change that adds in the price, and will ultimately cost you more. the nismos drop into the stock rail/lines etc job done. the bosche 1000's need a rail, collars, custom sleeves machined, .. then lines, and fittings and a decent return.. and u still need a reg either way.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
