Hi All,

Injector issue so time to change out.

Was using S15 side feeds which served their purposes well, sprung a leak.

Would rather purchase new as I have had a decent run out of them.

Looking at going JECs 550s or higher.

I know this widely debated but I don't want to go to a top feed rail.

Regardless I know I am up for a re-tune so was hoping to hear any recent feedback regarding them before I take the plunge.

Old reviews have a mixed bag of feedback regarding them.

I am in the same position as you being a 33 engine. 

You are still looking at around $900+ for some 'decent' side feeds like nismo. You are looking at the same cost going topfeed, and the injectors are new tech.

"JECS" 550+ etc as far as i am aware are still highflow injectors. They market them as standard jecs, because that's what they are, jecs injectors... that have been highflowd.

Completely understand how they market them as Jecs and then they are high flowed etc, also understand that they are "oldish" technology, the same "oldish" technology that 33 owners were using 4-5+ years ago.

Considering I was running S15 side feeds I am hoping for recent feedback of any members who have recently installed / used and had them tuned.

As I am running a Nistune board I already anticipate a new tune will be on the cards also.

 

I upgraded to 550 Deatschwerkls which i believe are actually highflowed stockers and they work ok but I think you may be able to get the better new tech injectors to fit in the sidefeed set-up (not 100% on this) but check with Scotty.

I tried JECS 550's - it was shithouse. Tuner was so angry and the car just idled like a bush pig. I chucked the whole lot out and went top feed setup.

Take my word for it and don't waste your money on a side feed setup!

Were they second hand? Did they get cleaned/tested? Never seen trouble like that with jecs 550s, saying that if you're buying now go with top feeds for sure

I bought them of a club member, they were practically brand new. He had the original receipts and paperwork. He had bought them from a supplier in Perth who claimed they were flow matched within 2%.

I got them cleaned and tested before I installed them. The spray pattern was awful and the injectors were not flow matched within 2% error like they promise. I seriously replaced them with a top feed setup a month after I had them installed!

It's def a mixed bag of responses of using re-manufactured side feeds that's for sure.

Its quite simple really - if they are in good cond they work. New tech ones work better. PM Scotty and see if he can supply new ones for your sidefeed rail.

Don't do it.. you'll hate yourself. 

Nismo 740s or straight to top feeds. You can fit top feeds under the stock plenum without any issues if you're using 1/2 height injectors.

Thanks Dose, I've read a few of your reviews and feedback regarding them.

Il ponder a little more and go from there.

The top feed option just means more funds out the pocket emoji23.png

More funds in the short term, less funds in the long term, & less hating of yourself

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
