Hi ppls,

I'm after a set of new ~550cc injectors.

I figure I could get a set of RX7 V 550cc injectors for a decent price but I would then have to have them flowed & tested which bumps the price up close to that of new injectors.

Another thing that concerns me with the RX7 injectors is the spray pattern.

'Apparently' they have more of a squirt than a fine atomistation.

The squirt is fine for performance as it works well to get the fuel in but for fuel economy it is not the best.

Has any one got these Injectors and have kept an eye on the fuel consumption before and after the install?

I am looking at possibly importing:

Sard 550cc's (~600-700)

Nismo 555cc's (~700-800)

or possible even go to the HKS 600cc (~800-900).

I have no idea on the spray pattern of the aftermarket injectors and if they are indeed setup to squirt or atomise the fuel for good emissions/fuel economy. For all out power the squirt type injectors are apparently the way to go.

I can find RX7 5 injectors for around $300 or so + $200 for flow & clean. Thats ~$500 which is pretty close to the price of bran spankin new injectors.

There is a guy up here who reckons he can highflow existing rb25 ones to 780cc.. Says not by simply enlarging the actual nozzle size which can cause spray issues, but replacing the whole pintle? Says they have been tested with excellent results at high HP with no issues (of course he would say that)

It sounded dubious to me.. What issues would there be with this? Is this guy talking out his butt?

I am willing to spend the $$.

Mid January is when the injectors will be needed so I've got a little time to do a little bit of research in to what is good.

I want some thing that not only does the job but does the job better.

My 32 is a daily driver so I prefer to have good fuel economy.

At the moment the 3ltr on the rb20det ecu nudges 500km's to a tank on occasions and never gets any lower than 430km's per tank, exactly the same as what the RB20DET used to get. I want to try and keep that fuel economy.

Providing the injectors are atomising the fuel correctly I don't see why a larger 550cc injector wouldn't provide the same fuel economy after the PowerFC is all tuned up to suit the 3ltr.

I would never think about highflowed injectors, they make me nervous.

I have a problem trusting peoples abilities.

Can any one throw around their fuel economy figures?

larger injectors always mean bad fuel consumption....;)

More power = more fuel needed....as you know Joel :rofl:

My RX-7 550's use about the same as std economy when off boost, but like said above, dont expect std fuel economy with some big guns installed ;)

I'm more concerned about the spray pattern and atomisation.

That is what affects fuel economy.

550cc's aren't that large and should still be able to atomise fuel well.

It appears there are also injectors that the spray pattern is designed around 2 inlet valves etc.

what bout some vr4 injectors or injectors from a 7mgte supra engine?

for the vr4 injectors you have to bore the rail a tad for them to slip in and i believe you have to do the same for the 7m ones.

you may have to run a dropping resistor pack for them, but its another alternative should you choose aftermarket injectors.

yeah there both side feed, purple top sr20's injectors are 370cc injectors, s15 red top injectors are 480cc

a certain knowledgable person claims single pintle injectors are the only ones hes seen to have issues, ie sard.. and recommended to go for 4 pintle ones, ie nismo

logically thinking i would assume the 4 pintle ones would have better spray and atomisation over a larger single pintle injector

I hi flowed my standard injectors to 660cc. No real difference in fuel consumption. Power from 380rwhp to 420rwhp with ease. Never had trouble with them. Now there making over 450rwhp.  ONly difference noticed was at idle.

What Idle differences did you notice?

I got the Nismo 555cc's and noticed that idle sounds a bit rough every now and again

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
