Can anyone tell me if/what is Hi Flowing standard injectors ?? I'm guessing that they are bored out a bit and given something for more oomph. ??

Are they as good as replacing std injectors with say Nismo or Sard injectors ??

Thanks in advance,

Have you been reading Zoom mag? I saw an article in there where it states that Paramout performance in QLD (07) 4659 9711 did this to ford injectors, taking them out to 550cc from a mere 180cc. Unfortunatley, the process is stated as being 'a bit of a secret'. It would be interesting to see what they can do to a set of stock Nissan 370cc squirters!

I wouldn't recommend this approach if you can afford to purchase properly sized injectors. With most injectors it is possible to replace most of the parts to make them hi-flow, but the cost heads toward that of buying aftermarket Bosch ones.

Aslong as the injectors are flow tested to ensure that they are providing the stated flow rate then they should be fine, but you have to weight whether the risk is worth the cost saving.

If you have a GTS-t then this appraoch would have the added benefit of not needing to replace the fuel rail, for top feed injectors.

Brendan,

I went and spoke with Jim from Croydon Racing Development and he also recommended hi flowing my stock injectors rather than replacing with an aftermarket injecter like the Nismo 550cc.

His reasons being its alot cheaper, the stock injectors can be modified to run 650cc and they are individually balanced.

Nick,

Thanks - Mark has a guy working for him now that does this - and has done to mine - I believe mine are now flowing at 610cc .

I know I am a bit of a guinea pig, but like you say, cheaper and better - The car should be on thre Dyno on Friday !! Let's see the results !!

Merry Christmas !!

Hi Guys,

I was discussing this option with some of the tuners I know, and they said not to do it. An injector is build as a sealed unit, therefore the only way to get more fuel out is to bore the nozzle. The nozzles are specifically designed to atomise the fuel as it leaves the injector, creating a fine spray of fuel mist. The reason for this is that it provides a greater A/F surface area, which aids in a cleaner burn and therefore better power delivery.

If the nozzles are bored then the fuel will squirt out in a stream, and not provide the optimum fuel delivery. I know a few people see this as a cheap alternative to expensive after-market injectors, but I would wait and see the results before jumping on board. If this was a good option then I think we would have seen the Japs doing it, or it would have been mentioned in an Import car mag.

This is just my opinion, if anyone wants to try it then cool, just let us know how it performs and the cost of the hi-flowing.

See'ya:burnout:

$100 per injector? Is that high impedence, side feed? If so please let me know where, as I was looking at second hand 550s, and the cheapest I have seen were over $200

Steve

EDIT: first heard of the high flowing in a Zoom mag, where a guy was getting 413rwkw using high flow injectors.

Ah, top feed - just wish I was doing the plenum, then it would be a different ball game. When you recon in the cost difference between the side feeds for use with stock plenum, against the cost of top feed with a modified plenum, the cost isnt a huge difference.

Have heard it is damn near impossible to get top feeds under the stock plenum (why in gods name didnt they give the gts the same plenum as the gtr).

Steve,

I always hated the GTS-t plenum design, therefore I changed it as soon as possible. It gives me the added advantage of a range of top feed injectors at resonable prices. You can always have my factory ones and hi-flow them once I get my new injectors put in.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
