I agree and get what you're saying, but only Nismo 280lph will ever be exact direct replacement.

I second this 100%. I replaced the stock pumps in my R33 GTST and my R32 GTR. It was LITERALLY a 5 min job in both occasions. Wasted a box of beers, as we only took like 3 sips :D

I’m definitely curious about going a similar route in my R33 once I have time to start messing with the fuel system. I really want to try running 997.1 Turbo EV14 injectors and a 440 lph brushless pump for an E85 conversion. I figure my comically tiny turbos should be enough of a limiting factor to get by on ~630cc injectors if I bump the fuel pressure enough. 

Why wouldn’t you just fit 1000cc injectors? They’re cheap enough, proven and any decent ecu can get them to run perfectly

(I'm guessing you are talking about the DeatchWerks DW440, I couldn't find any other brushless 440 lph pumps)

I'm also curious why you would want to fit a DeatchWerks DW440 440lph Brushless Fuel Pump, that flows less then a Walbro 525LPH and has extra wiring complexity, costs about 5 times as much, and knowing DeatchWerks, it doesn't have an internal check valve as it doesn't state that it has one.

On the plus side though, DeatchWerks has gone to the effort to put a retainer clip on for the fuel strainer, so that's nice.

I really want a split spray injector to match the two intake valves. The easy route would be the 980cc 040 injectors that are everywhere but those are single cone. I thought maybe I was wrong about that when PRP claimed they weren’t the other day but I checked again to be sure. The difference is going to be minuscule but I’m pretty sure doing the math it won’t take too much of a bump in fuel pressure to have plenty of injector headroom.

The main attraction for brushless IMO is no derate in lifespan for high ethanol use, lower power draw for more alternator headroom, and seemingly a flatter flow rate vs output pressure curve. I do wonder if the DW440 brushless will be any good or if I need to go searching for a better option. I don’t really need a ton of flow but I don’t want to worry at all about whether I’ll run out of headroom from excessive fuel line losses. Even 440 lph is likely too much flow for my purposes.

The factory injector has a single cone spray pattern so by going to the 1000cc you’re not losing anything in the way of spray patterns

It’s more about modernizing the engine where possible. Reducing the wall wetting should improve transient response and emissions. 

Hmm ok. Really seems like you've dreamed up a bunch of problems that don't exist so that you have something to solve. 

When you look around, see every other skyline running perfectly, see that they don't have split spray injectors and don't have baby sized brushless fuel pumps.... How much "more perfect" will your car be?

You realise that the majority of the time the injector is firing, it's spraying onto the back of a closed valve right? 

Are you trying to improve your emissions at idle?

I can guarantee that your transient response will not be improved by using a spilt spray injector.

Its also spraying when there is a rush of cool boosted air coming in, so immediate atomisation and swirl dispersal.

I find it strange that people get so caught up in these concepts. 

When we think about the real world drivability and performance of the car, are you trying to say that cars with single cone spray patterns do not atomise their fuel well and have drivability issues? 

Or are we trying to say something like, single cone spray pattern injectors are 99.1% perfect and by going to split spray it's improved to 99.2%? (numbers made up to express an idea, not to put a value on how effective either setup is)

Other things to think about, OEM's care a lot about emissions etc, yet how many cars end up with split spray injectors from the factory? 

Thinking about the other extreme side of things, how many big power 1000kw+ cars use a split spray injector? If there was performance to be gained here, why isn't the aftermarket developing large motorsport split spray injectors?

It's a port injected car, who gives a crap... as long as there's near equal fuel being dumped into each runner then happy days!

If we were talking about direct injected, then sure you want the spray pattern to be as optimised as possible but hey we are dealing with these rust bucket shit boxes.

There’s no real power benefit to better targeted spray. That’s not at all what I was claiming. I just want to see if I can improve the transient response in high delta throttle situations relative to the factory injectors. The 040 injectors will do better than factory purely by virtue of their much smaller droplet sizes but spray targeting helps too. The other aspect is emissions. Part of that comes from just naturally better AFR control in transients from less wall wetting but also during cold starts I would expect to be able to pull out some enrichment. Not a ton but some. Almost all of this is only relevant for low RPM where open valve injection is doable. 

As for whether OEMs use dual spray in PFI it was very popular starting with EV6 generation injectors and was refined further with the EV14s.

I wasn't going mention this because I'm not trying to start internet arguments, but in the spirit of keeping SAU as a source of truth - 

This isn't really what happens, in the scenario of a large change in throttle opening, the change in pressure causes the fuel to be forced onto the fuel film on the port wall causing the fuel film to grow momentarily. This causes the car to momentarily lean out. This is why transient throttle enrichment exists to inject extra fuel so the car doesn't lean out on tip in.

Single or split spray pattern doesn't matter because it's the pressure change that is forcing the fuel onto the port wall/fuel film.

If your curious about it, you can look at Motec M1 training material as that series of ECU allow for fuel film modelling.

Can you expand on 'improve transient response'? When you say this, I have a feeling I'm not picturing the same thing you are.

Could you explain from a driving experience, what it is the car is doing that you don't like and what you are hoping the car will do after it has had it's 'transient response' improved?

I don’t even know if things will improve but the hope is when snapping the throttle open it’ll respond better in that initial instant and require less transient enrichment. Some things are only going to be noticeable in ECU logging or staring at a five gas analyzer. Andy now at Haltech mentioned offhand in a video once that when tuning x-tau stock injectors often have far lower X constants compared to aftermarket decapped injectors.

Ok cool, I think we are on the same page. 

Just by chance, at the moment I've currently got all transient throttle enrichment turned off in my R33. There has been zero change to the cars driving behaviour. The only reminder that I have that AE is turned off, is on tip in, for about 0.1 seconds my mixture leans out and it's not even much of a lean out, we are talking like 14.7 to 16.5ish. 

Personally I only really care about performance and how the car drives. If there is zero discernible change in driving behaviour or performance, I really don't have a lot of interest in spending time / money in that area. 

Totally cool for you to want to hit whatever numbers you want to hit in your logged data though, horses for courses and all that.

Yeah I think it’s fair to say my goals are a little weird compared to most that modify their car. I still debate semi-frequently whether it’s worth it to try and do water injection to see if I can run lambda 1 deep into boost.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
