I'm currently in the middle of a turbo swap and am upgrading my injectors at the same time. I've purchased second hand cleaned/tested Denso 550s, they have the same impedance as the stock injectors.

I've already consulted this thread while attempting to get my stock injectors out:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/140970-injectors-how-to-removereplaceupgrade/

However it is for the R33, obviously having side feed injectors and a different arrangements of hoses etc, all my searching has only produced guides on changing injectors in an RB26 or wiring GT-R injectors in a GTS-T.

My main problem is I cannot crack the allen bolts on my throttle body regardless of how much force I apply, seems silly to use allen bolts instead of hex bolts in such an important spot.

Is it essential to remove the throttle body? I've already removed and cleaned the AAC and all piping has already been removed due to the turbo swap.

Also I did not relieve the fuel pressure before I started work on the car, will this be a problem? Should I pull the fuse and run the car dry even though I currently have no exhaust manifold on the car? I would have to re-install the AAC to do so wouldn't I?

The fuel will just spray out no big deal as for throttle body removing it will make life a lot easier but it is possible to install injectors without removing tb make sure you put injectors in the rail before install as you may damage the o rings

Just pulled the injectors out of my 32 but i took off the top half of the manifold to get at the injectors and fuel rail, heaps of room now, also i suggest that you fit new injector seals while you have things apart

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
