Shaneo Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 it's time for me to upgrade my injectors, the factory ones are now at max flow. So what i am after is some first hand experience with aftermarket injectors... What's worked? What's failed? What should i steer clear of? Current mods that you may need to know are: T3/T4 turbo PowerFC Malpassi Fuel Reg FMIC running 15psi boost Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

r33_racer Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 not only that the sards require a plug rewire. Nismos would be much better as they are a true drop in replacement. The only thing that i think they dont come with is new o rings, and its highly recomended to change them while their out so you dont get a leaky injector down the track.

R31Nismoid Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nismo 555 or 550, whatever the RB25 bolt in ones. Definately the way to go. When you do get the injectors, sell the Fuel Reg and put the stock one back on. Will get some cash back Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/#findComment-2410831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
satanic Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Why would you sell the fuel reg, I'm sorry I don't understand... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/#findComment-2410961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r33_racer Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 because you dont need to control the fuel pressure with an aftermarket pump on, cause you have a/m management needed to control the injectors. Does that make sense. I think it does. I kept mine on just for the ability to keep monitoring fuel pressure....im lazy though.

race_snooze Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 slight side track, I have had a quick search, but what is the difference between long and short injectors by sard, which say they are a drop in??

mickr33 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Shane. I know it's a bit of topic, but could i ask at what power did the stockies run out at. Im upgrading the turbo and just wondering what roughly the 370cc will do.

r33_racer Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Shane in my r33 I have 550cc SARDS and in the race car we got 850cc SARDS. I think the basic equation is that its 1HP to every 1cc, so going on that 550hp @ the fly is the max, call it 500hp to be safe. Thats about 420hp @ the wheels. I think the price difference is almost nothing for the 740cc nismo items, might as well go them if you think your going to come up short with the 555cc ones. Whats the t3/t4 you have rated at? Unless your changing turbos in the future that will tell you how much you should allow for.

Shaneo Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Shane. I know it's a bit of topic, but could i ask at what power did the stockies run out at.Im upgrading the turbo and just wondering what roughly the 370cc will do. i had it tuned to 225rwkw, then we downtuned it to 215rwkw to try stop the pinging. they are still maxing out... from my googling during the week, i found that 370cc is probably only good for 210rwkw.

AzzurrA Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 you didn't mention an upgraded fuel pump in your list of mods... have you looked at that? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/#findComment-2414760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneykid Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) As usual it's all in the numbers................... 210 rwkw + 65 rwkw for losses = 275 rwkw 27 rwkw x 1.34 = 368.5 bhp Pretty close to 370 cc = 370 bhp. 550 cc = 550 bhp 550 bhp / 1.34 = 410 rwkw 410 rwkw – 65 rwkw losses = 345 rwkw That’s at standard fuel pressure (34-36 psi) You could use the adjustable FPR to raise the pressure to 47 psi and you are looking at just over 625 cc of flow 625 cc = 625 bhp 625 bhp / 1.34 = 466 rwkw 466 rwkw – 65 rwkw losses = 401 rwkw 47 psi fuel pressure + boost, say 25 psi = 72 psi Which is well within the range of a Bosch fuel pump (044 for example). I wouldn’t use a Walbro though. Plus I would STRONGLY suggest using new fuel hoses and clamps for that level of fuel pressure. cheers Edited August 16, 2006 by Sydneykid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/#findComment-2414871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaido_RR Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 go the nismo 740cc, they only work out to be $50 more (will it was in my case), that is like $8.30cent more pre injector Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130304-fuel-injectors/#findComment-2415949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
