G’day,

I’m looking to get some more power out of my R33 GTST soon (about 260rwkw) with some bolt ons and I have a couple of questions for those in the know. I’m still in the part collecting stage.

With regards to fuelling, I’ve done a bit of research by rummaging through old threads and I’m leaning towards some top feed Bosch 1000cc injectors with an aftermarket fuel rail. I’ve chosen to keep the stock plenum and I just want to make sure that I’ve got the right options down before I order.

I was thinking of getting the fuel rail kit from EFI Solutions: https://www.efisolutions.com.au/top-feed-fuel-rail-kit-rb25det-r33-c34 and a set of Bosch 1000s from Goleby’s: https://www.golebysparts.com.au/products/bosch-1000cc-980cc-1150cc-fuel-injector-e85?variant=29908789297261

For injector length, I have chosen 3/4 length 14mm and for connectors & adaptors, I’ve chosen Nissan JECS to Bosch Injector adaptors. Are these the correct options to plugin to the factory harness and to clear the stock plenum? I just want to be certain before I go and place and order only to find out that when I install the injectors, they don’t clear the plenum and I’ve chosen the wrong adaptors. From what I’ve read, I’m pretty sure I’ve got it right but would like confirmation. From what I’ve read, I think that I’ll need an aftermarket FPR or will the stock one be sufficient? If I need an aftermarket one, what would you recommend? I’m also thinking of getting a Walbro 255 from Goleby’s. Is there a better choice? Keen to hear some advice. Cheers

You will need an aftermarket fuel reg (gfb, turbosmart, aeroflow. What suits your budget) and would recommend a walbro 460l pump just to future proof the setup. Ensure you do a new relay and wiring of correct size for the fuel pump.

Thanks mate, I thought so. Budget for the injectors and related components would be roughly 1K. I'm trying to do a relatively cheap bolt on build but without lacking in quality. I've been looking at a Turbosmart FPR800 which would be around $200. Anything cheaper/better? Will probably grab a Walbro 460 instead over the 255 since there's not a huge difference in pricing between the two.

I'd buy the whole injector kit from efisolutions, so you get the correct nozzle adaptors to suit the injectors and their rail.

Also you have to split the intake plenum to fit the taarks fuel rail.

I would too but the Bosch 1000s that go with their kit are out of stock, which is why I've thought of going to Goleby's for the injectors. Not sure what you mean by split the intake plenum for fitment of the fuel rail. TAARKS claim that it's a 100% bolt on kit. Do you have a recommendation for a bolt on kit?

 

I also saw these "plug and play" Raceworks injectors on ebay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Set-New-1000cc-BOSCH-Fuel-injectors-E85-OK-for-R32-R33-R34-RB25DET-Skyline/171812524122?hash=item2800d3105a:g:b~0AAOSw7fJgRxkm

Anyone had experience with these?

You need to remove the top half of the intake manifold to fit the rail and injectors on then reinstall the plenum. Yes it's "bolt on" but there will still things that have to be modified.

Is that all he meant? I knew I'd need to do that anyway and replace the old gaskets while I'm at it.

You can still buy the injectors from golbys, you just need to make sure you get the correct nozzle adaptors to make them fit.

l would ring efisolutions and ask what nozzle adaptors you need to buy to reach 3/4 height injectors.

You can buy a wiring specialties plug and play injector harness, makes things easy. https://www.wiringspecialties.com/wsrbinhabrne.html

Borrow an Asian mate or your missus with small hands. (I'm Asian myself, so can be casually racist in this post 😂)

You can do it with the top part of the plenum still on.

And agree with everyone, get the full kit from EFI Solution. FPR800 will be more than enough and I suggest against the Walbro 460L on small setup. You'll be heating up the fuel and also have issues with the stock setup returning the fuel fast enough.

I'll give EFI a ring on Monday and ask them when they'll have the injectors that go with their kit back in stock. As for the harness, I don't want to stuff around trying to get stuff out of the USA but thanks for the suggestion.

I probably will just wait for EFI to have injectors back in stock so that I can run their full kit. Looks like I'll be going with the FPR800 then. I hadn't begun to think about potential issues with running the 460 with my setup. Thanks, will likely be going with the 255 then.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
