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

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
