Hi All,

Injector issue so time to change out.

Was using S15 side feeds which served their purposes well, sprung a leak.

Would rather purchase new as I have had a decent run out of them.

Looking at going JECs 550s or higher.

I know this widely debated but I don't want to go to a top feed rail.

Regardless I know I am up for a re-tune so was hoping to hear any recent feedback regarding them before I take the plunge.

Old reviews have a mixed bag of feedback regarding them.

I am in the same position as you being a 33 engine. 

You are still looking at around $900+ for some 'decent' side feeds like nismo. You are looking at the same cost going topfeed, and the injectors are new tech.

"JECS" 550+ etc as far as i am aware are still highflow injectors. They market them as standard jecs, because that's what they are, jecs injectors... that have been highflowd.

Completely understand how they market them as Jecs and then they are high flowed etc, also understand that they are "oldish" technology, the same "oldish" technology that 33 owners were using 4-5+ years ago.

Considering I was running S15 side feeds I am hoping for recent feedback of any members who have recently installed / used and had them tuned.

As I am running a Nistune board I already anticipate a new tune will be on the cards also.

I upgraded to 550 Deatschwerkls which i believe are actually highflowed stockers and they work ok but I think you may be able to get the better new tech injectors to fit in the sidefeed set-up (not 100% on this) but check with Scotty.

I tried JECS 550's - it was shithouse. Tuner was so angry and the car just idled like a bush pig. I chucked the whole lot out and went top feed setup.

Take my word for it and don't waste your money on a side feed setup!

Were they second hand? Did they get cleaned/tested? Never seen trouble like that with jecs 550s, saying that if you're buying now go with top feeds for sure

I bought them of a club member, they were practically brand new. He had the original receipts and paperwork. He had bought them from a supplier in Perth who claimed they were flow matched within 2%.

I got them cleaned and tested before I installed them. The spray pattern was awful and the injectors were not flow matched within 2% error like they promise. I seriously replaced them with a top feed setup a month after I had them installed!

It's def a mixed bag of responses of using re-manufactured side feeds that's for sure.

Its quite simple really - if they are in good cond they work. New tech ones work better. PM Scotty and see if he can supply new ones for your sidefeed rail.

Don't do it.. you'll hate yourself. 

Nismo 740s or straight to top feeds. You can fit top feeds under the stock plenum without any issues if you're using 1/2 height injectors.

Thanks Dose, I've read a few of your reviews and feedback regarding them.

Il ponder a little more and go from there.

The top feed option just means more funds out the pocket emoji23.png

More funds in the short term, less funds in the long term, & less hating of yourself

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
