is it worth it?

Probably no, GTR injectors (444cc) are the better choice ($200-$300 for a set), they are top feed and just bolt straight in, and just require a resistor pack because they are low impedance

No it is not worth it. When you highflow an injector, most of the time the spray pattern goes to shit and it can mean death for your engine....especially when you start pushing the hp.

It's an extremely stupid idea and the cost of new injectors is not that bad. What's the cost of a new engine?

And I don't think RB20 injectors are able to be highflowed anyway.

rb20 injectors cant be done properly, we get CREATD to do ours (R33) spray pattern is the same as stock so there is no issues there. Of course highlflows have there place, but not in all.

Got any more detailed info of that Trent? (r33 items?).

Not saying i don't believe you, but have you got any spray pattern photo's under various pressure's from base, +10 & +20?

Not that i would use them, just for everyone else to see a bit more indepth information to help with decisions :action-smiley-069:

i'm pretty sure if you wanted to buy some (speaking to prospective customers) CREATD would show you in real time in the test machine like they did for me, i was 100% against highflows until i saw their work...

There are time and places high flows should not be used i and i whole heartedly agree but for guys on a tight budget where 250-270rwkw is the target on a highflow or chinese turbo i cant see a problem, unless the person selling them is pushing them as "the only" solution.

To me running the best brand injectors then using a cheap ecu to control them defeats the purpose, in fact using a decent ecu with highflow injectors yeilds better results.

I suppose what im saying is that everything is relative. Relative to budget, application and execution.

Its too easy to get hung up on the one particular thing, when really the whole setup should be considered more important.

Well ye real time - but not everyone is in the Northern burbs of Melbourne :action-smiley-069:

Would help to dispel a bit of conjecture on the topic.

Perhaps if someone uses CREATD they could get some further pictoral information to add to a "high-flow injectors 101" style of thread about the topic?

Just gets other users from interstate/overseas some useful information to their decision in the overall scheme of their setup/budget.

Try it and see how you go.

Don't point the finger when your engine goes bang.

We test, flow and clean injectors every day, injectors are made to a tolerant, there designed for there intended purpose not to be modified.

When you drill and change the design of the injector the pin-til end can get damaged which will upset your spray pattern = fuel mixture into cylinder.

We have seen a lot of "hi-flowed" injectors that when RETESTED fail.....

ive been running hi flowed injectors done by my mate for 2yrs now, just shaved and recapped rb25 injectors 350rwhp 20psi and 60,000kms later 9ltrs/100km on highway.. never had a drama..one thing tuner said figures change slighty on idle cause the spray pattern is never the same.. but u get that who cares :D

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
