Opinions on injector upgrades needed!

-Engine rb30det VCT HEAD around 300-350rwkw

Just picked up the long motor from the engine builders and before slinging it back in I need to sort out my fuel delivery issues.

To get around the expensive side feed problem I have had a fuel rail built to suit the more popular top feed injectors but am struggling to find out what injectors will do the job cheaply. I have worked out that they will need to be around 550cc to flow enough for the power output but I'm having issues with compatabilty with the Apexi PFC. It likes high impedence Jap brands and the common Bosch 363(low impedence) apparently don't work to well with the PFC. I have heard RX7 S6 secondary injectors work OK but they are proving expensive and hard to get secondhand. Anyone have a proven setup that will suit this setup?

go to the SARD 700CC bolt in injectors - sell your rail.

The rail is costing me nothing and sard product is very expensive. My intake manifold doesn't know if the fuel is coming from a $50 injector or a $200 injector and I would rather spend my budget on upgrading my rods to race items and ceramic coating my forgies......but...... sards would be nice and easy if I had the bucks...

Anyone else have a proven solution?

Simple, use low impedance, top feed injectors and put a resistor in series with them to bring them up to high impedance. I am using the usual S5RX7T, which are rated at 550 cc's, but actually flow around 565 to 570 cc's at 36 psi base rail pressure and 625 cc's at 45 psi.:(

Aha , the Kid is in the house. As always, cheers for the input. My Tuner (ex apexi japan trained) tells me that he has had probs making low imp units work nicely with the PFC (specifically Bosch 363's which can be bought cheap/flow around 550cc and are a common performance upgrade). Within the PFC you can tell it what injector setup you have, what have you told it when you use those s5 rx7 units? are they primary or secondary units? shit it's frustrating not knowing....

I am not a rotary expert, but I think the S5RX7T had 4 X 550 cc injectors. I got mine off a well know rotary race engine builder a couple of years ago, we went though 8 to get 6 good ones.

I believe you would have problems with just low impedance injectors. but the resistors should fix that. As for settings, I didn't tell the Power FC anything, I just tuned the maps. The default injector lag is 0.528 milliseconds at 14volts.

I believe that Rochester make high impedance top feed injectors, so maybe try them. The Electromotive ECU (popular in US racing) runs peak and hold which likes low impedance, so they should be cheap and popular over there. With no import duty (free trade agreement, good on you Johnny) they are even more economical.

Hope that helps:cheers:

why are you cutting corners for a big power motor?

i'd be using the normal rail with nismo 700cc injectors and then you know 100% they will work without any problems at all as they are tried and proven.

im not even using an adj reg and ive got no problems

go to the SARD 700CC bolt in injectors - sell your rail.

So, in spite of Sard injectors known for being hard to fit (not a drop in, even with collars!), hard to tune (non-standard injector lag) and as side feed injectors, generally a pain in the ass to remove and install (pintle caps off of the shelf are they?), you recommend them do you? They are the cheapest of the jap side feeds and it shows. If you *had* to go side feeds, the nismos or hks are a far better choice.

Rails cost nothing and theres a far greater range of top feeds. I don't blame the_tonkau for going this route.

Thanks for the imput guys! Spending big bucks doesn't always mean the best solution as many tuners of modded cars know all to well. Lets say I find a cheaper way around the touch your toes/bend over cost of expensive side feed injectors, I'm sure alot of the people on this forum would be able take advantage of this cheap solution. Isn't that the idea of this forum? to share idea's and solve problems economically?

Keep the idea's coming team!

Cheers

Another idea is to get a company like AVO to high flow stock injectors also. Apparently you can get stock rb25 370cc jobs up to 500cc........

Yep, but they charge more than I can buy new 550cc Rochester injectors for:cheers:

Well guys, in the end I went down the route of reco S5 RX7 injectors (high impedence 550cc top feed) for $300 and had a mate from Mullins Engineering in Bayswater make me up a new fuel rail. Looks great and from the research completed, should work great. Next issue is trying to make the rb25det plenum fit under the bonnet (r33 S1 gtst) after the rb30det went in! wish me luck lads!

cheers

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
