please help this is driving me nuts lol.

I'm upgrading injectors and I can't get it to fit. I bought a raceworks r33 rail kit, and xspurt 1000cc injectors. First I tried fitting it with the injector collars but the stock plenum fouls on the top of the rail. So then I tried plugging the injectors straight into the rail (without the collars) and it still wont clear the plenum! I'm sure that I've seen heaps of people using the raceworks rail and xspurt 1000s so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any advice? Supplier said he sells many of these exact kits to fit r33s without issues. pics below.

To fit the injectors under the stock plenum I believe you require 1/2 length injectors.

This guide was written by an SAU member :)

ah bugger I was told this kit would go straight in. In that case does anyone sell the shorter spacers that go under the bolts to mount the rail?

It doesnt look to me like I can shave the plenum back enough to make it fit.

You'll need a new rail if you want to use those injectors or go half height injectors and use that rail but you'll need to cut down the spacers.

Or refund it and get what you were oringally promised.

I done this before with a cheap rail, it can work, it isn't easy and in the end we talkin bout a few mm of it fitting.. it probably will require some custom welding of shit/shaving to make it work

Should have just gotten 1/2 height injectors to begin with lol

Here is one i prepared earlier lol..

You can see the pipe underneath was removed and brass fitting installed uptop to make that hose easier to get on, and some shaving near that welsh plug, a fabricator can do this easy or if your local you can have this one...

yeah the seller is exchanging the injectors for the 1/2 height ones instead, and I'll just have to take some careful measurements and get the spacers machined down. I dont want to be grinding and welding on the plenum when I know that there are kits that fit straight in and I don't want the rail too close to the plenum anyway

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
