hey guys,

recently bought a rebuilt HKS 2530 turbo to go on my RB20

im just wondering what injectors i should use,

ive seen people using GTR injectors but id like to get some brand newies instead

ive been told sards need to wired in and i cbf'd with that soooo any recommendations?

also will be installed with a pfc tune if that makes any difference..

cheers in advance for any help

and yes ive searched all i can find is people using 2530's on their GTR's

Just use the some GTR injectors slacker, get them cleaned & flow tested first. They drop straight in, only extra bit of work you need to do is the resistor pack but even a 10yr old girl could do that

They will flow plenty, more than enough for the power your 20 will put out so no point going bigger

Do the correction on the PFC & your set to go for a tune

if you dont want gtr injectors go with nismo 555cc, collars should fit straight up and you'll have no problems. also i'm assuming u have upgraded your fuel pump for the demands of the turbo? cheers h

CA18DET injectors, i believe they are 380cc you can get them almost free, they fit straight in and they do not need resistor pack (correct me if im wrong), just get them flow tested to make sure they are working fine. Will need full tune however and new o-rings are recomended, source from nissan

Off the top of my head I believe CA18 injectors are 340cc & are still low impedance injectors (same as RB26 injectors) which means resistor pack is still required if running them on an RB20 as RB20 uses high impedance

As far as I know, S13 CA18DET run a resistor pack standard similar to the GTR, that's why GTR injectors are a quick easy upgrade for CA18's

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Corrected...ca18det injectors are 370cc...

cheers guys

ive been reading rekins thread of him installing gtr injectors and he seems to be having trouble with them fitting straight in (he needed to trim some of the plastic off) why would this be?

do r33 gtr injectors drop straight in or just r32 gtr?

Yes all rb GTR injectors will drop in (you will still need ballast resistor), the R34 ones are natural metal colour, not painted black like R32 &R33 GTR ones, my advice try and find newest or best condition ones you can, one of my GTR injectors first time round started to leak even after getting cleaned and tested, ended up having to buy another 6 because no one would sell me a single or pair, all 6 were cleaned & tested again with new rings, pintels & baskets.

Nothing you can do to repair a leaky injector and a leak wont necessarily show up during the cleaning process, if i had to pay for labour twice it would have been cheaper to buy brand new nismo ones off the shelf.(not to mention cost of lost fuel driving the car around for 2 months before i could get a day off to get it fixed)

Don't waste your time with the red rx7 ones or sard injectors, they have crap spray patterns that don't atomise the fuel properly, leading to crappier fuel economy over nismo ones, but i am sure others would argue that point.

TOTALLY AGREE.

Been having ongoing issues with my GTR injectors cause they were old. I had them all cleaned and tested, and have had issues with 2 of them so far.

Lucky for me, I have been able to find individual ones, but it has been a pain in the ass troubleshooting and fixing them. I think I have taken the injectors in and out about 6 times now.....at least I have gotten good at it now ;)

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
