Going by some quick research, so long as you have quad pintle injectors like HKS/Nismo/Apexi then you should have zero problems with idle and fuel economy. It seems the RX7 and SARD injectors are the non-DOHC friendly types and thus you get what you pay for. It seems people with SR20s have had no problems with 740cc quad pintles!

joel mate rx7 ones are fine the spray is pretty much a stream as you say but this is due to the pinttle cap hole being to narrow you need to use toyota ones and drill them out slightly but the patter is quite narrow as opposed to your nismo quad pinttle varieties, but 550cc is small so the differences will be quite small....Also some of the earlier rx7 injectors will actually require you to bore the hole in your head slightly larger so be carefull what you buy if you go down that route. Personally i could never pay the ridiculous prices asked for by the jap brand injectors its bloody daylight robbery.. i use holley injectors in my car (110lbs= 1180cc Units), cause they are cheap, never fail, and alot of the product range is designed for methonol so the seals are alot higher grade but you will not get you your misty spray with these they are pretty savage but very effective!!!!

the rochesters are the same as the holly design they have holes that seperate the spray to give a finer spray pattern but are still single needle or pintle design i will post a pic of the design!!!

Hi Joel, I have a set of 555cc nismo injectors in my RB20. I actually had them checked for flow before i installed them and the results showed that they all flowed Exactly the same amount - 600cc. So yeah, im happy with them but i can't comment on fuel economy as i had a bigger turbo and stuff put on at the same time :D

Generally bigger turbo's under normal driving conditions result in better fuel economy as you tend to be on boost less.

Note the normal driving conditions. :D

Has the fuel consumption changed dramatically even with the mods or?!?

Fuel consumption has got a lot better now that i'm running the stock ecu chipped, especially for highway cruising compared with the microtech that i previously had.

I am lucky to get 300km/h to a tank now with 550cc injectors and GT30 turbo, and thats driving to work and back everyday when my car rarely sees over 80km/h or 4000rpm

One shot at "300km/h" per tank... nice effort mate :P

LOL above

Hey I have YELLOW 555s

Can the colour give an indication on what injectors i may have cause i have no idea

Cheers :D

Well they won't be nismo ones because they are pink, so i dunno....

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
