Im using top feed injectors in a rb25det (side rail) inlet plenum.

Ive had a few problems making power and im chasing up any potential issues.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...l=missing+100kw

One that has come up is the injectors dont sit deep enough into the flow causing inefective atomisation.

Has anyone else come accross this?

Please post pic of yr setup.

cheers rob.

or get a top feed rail to suit the injectors?

Im curious how you fitted top feed injectors into a side feed rail? You must have modified the crap out of the rail?!?!

he didnt, pic from his other thread - top feed rail.

i dont think that the injectors being set back into the open in each runner would cost you 100kw from low atomisation.

Chasing up any and all possiblites at this stage...

If injectors spraying onto the walls and dribbling into the cyclinders then I would assume that would make a huge differance to combustion???

why dont you sell the top feed, then buy some side feed injectors that are suited to your rail. Problem solved?

Looking into it... but will have to find injectors and plugs, and new fuel rail then modify to suit my fuel system etc

will be easier and cheaper to mount mine a little better. just after a few ideas on how other people have done it...

cheers rob

Roba - you know how far in teh injectors sit into the runners?

i did see a post with pics regarding the injectors and how far recessed they are from the air path.

your looking at up to 60psi of rail pressure, unless you injectors arent pointing directly into the air stream i dont see how it would dripple down to the inlet valves.

have you checked that the injectors are perpendicular to the injector hole face?

Im running rx7 550cc top feeds in a side feed manifold. You need to get an 18.5mm (what i had on hand) drill bit and drill out the holes for the injectors.

From memory i nearly drilled right through, it does not matter if you do tho. Then you can push the injector further into the manifold. the stock o-rings will not fall in as they are like 30mm. With the manifold off you can see the pintle of the injector is just sticking out a mm or 2 into the flow.

I did this after i saw a mate with same setup as yours, under boost the o-rings were moving up the bottom of the injectors and i thought there was potential for fuel and boost to leak

Im using the rb25de intake and have top feed gtst rail (r32) and top feed injectors but they dont want to fit into the rail as the o ring seems to fat. Can i replace the o rings or does it just take a lot of work to squeeze them in there? The 25de ones pull straight out relatively easily though...... any advice??????

put the 25de o-rings on the new injectors. Or buy some new o-rings from nissan, i have rx7 550cc and with rb20 o-rings on them they are still really tight in the rb20 rail. I lubed them up a little with a little bit of new engine oil and made sure i didnt pinch the o-rings when i out them into the rail.

Once they are in, you can pressurise the rail to 60psi and they wont fall out!

Um no good, tried swapping the injector o rings but they still wont fit at the rail or the plenum.

May have to sell and buy something else. Any suggestions or offers for replacement injectors?

The current ones are 670cc's so nothin smaller than 650 i suppose. Have to be top feed.

yeah they must be they are only a fraction too big. Could i get the fuel rail and runners machined to fit them or is it better to just get different injectors. Had a look on trademe and the other sard injectors to suit gtrs have 14mm o rings top and bottom.....

Anyone who has top mount injectors to fit 20det/25de intake setup around the 6/700cc mark for sale please message me.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
