Skyline r33 fuel injectors guidance

Hi guys my car fuel consumption is so high it's doing 250 per tank 55 litres means 20 litres per 100 km . So had oil nd filters changed mechanic said spark plugs r ok .

so now I am thinking to replace its fuel injectors. Currently looking on eBay but confused which ones are good for me. 750 cc nd 550 cc company brand my4 . Also can someone tell me do I have to change other things to replace the injectors on my car . What's the factory injectors info like (what cc or brand ) etc . Can I use the same coil pack for new injectors as it's already on the car I mean factory coil pack or I have to change coil packs too according to new injectors? Thanks guys hope to get some good information cheers

There are a number of things I'd check before replacing injectors dude:

  • Oxygen Sensor
  • Intake/Filter - check for blockages
  • Temp Sensor
  • AFM - might need a clean
  • Thermostat
  • Vacuum leaks

All of these things are far cheaper and easier to address than injectors. Have you done the basics? Low tyre pressure combined with old/thick oil can actually affect fuel consumption pretty dramatically. Are you running good, 98RON fuel?

Maybe try a reputable fuel system/injector cleaner too.

You can't really change the injectors with the stock ecu. You could get them cleaned and tested. Did the mechanic actually pull out a spark plug to have a look? By the time you have gone that far one would normally change the plugs anyway. If you look in the DIY section you will find a guide to changing the plugs. get new ones gapped down to 0.8mm. Give the coils a good clean and if you see any burn marks where they have been shorting you should ideally replace them with OEM or Splitfires (or at least spray or wrap them with insulating tape).

If you can go through the list in the previous post. Dirty air filter is a top suspect. There is a DIY somewhere on how to clean AFM. If you want to know how to do something Google the question first and you will usually find the answer. If you don't usually do your own work get a few tools and start now or your Skyline will keep you poor!!

This is a great list!

 

Before doing anything related to the injectors check all these things above first. Also put in new spark plugs, new fuel filter and new oil. After doing all the things listed above start writing a log and the come back with those results and we can help further. Have fun!

Hi guys it's temp needle never goes up it always few minutes to come normal level so it's can't be temp sensor or thermostat. Um just gonna change its air pod which not much $$$$ and will clean AFM thanks. But whenever I start cold engine like next morning it's turn up but after couple of rounds it's goes off . But day time it's alright just 1 round nd runs smooth. Any idea why ?

There are two temperature sensors, one for the dashboard gauge and one for the computer to operate the fueling tables, so yes it still could be the cause of your issue.

O2 sensor

Computer Temp sensor

and bad/ stuck thermostat.

They are your most likely culprits.

Thermostat is a likely culprit. I'd say change it either way.

This is incorrect, as missleman said there it 2 senders. If the sender for the ECU has died it will be reporting full cold temp and as such the ECU will compensate by adding lots of extra fuel as it thinks it is in very cold conditions. The temp sensors are on the inlet manifold near the top radiator hose. The dash one is the single pin and the ECU one is the two pin plug.

Thanks for your advice guys 

I clean the AFM 

had look on oxygen sensor it looks ok 

spark plugs on the way to be replaced 

had look on temp sensor not sure they working properly but looks ok too

but I can tell yah my car has bad starting in the morning. Daytime it's ok but morning time it takes 2 push or I have to accelerate to help engine turn up . I am really confused if it's temp problem then it shouldn't have starting problem. Looking to hear you again please 

At this stage I would stay patient until your spark plugs arrive. Put them in and see if that fixes your issue, as it may well be them.

After that, I would start by replacing the O2 sensor, temp sensor (2 pin) and thermostat. Sensors can be got for around $40ea and the Thermostat around $50.

We've given you the advice mate, just have to follow it :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

Hi guys um back with same issue I have replaced spark plugs nd splitfire coil packs but car still sucking the fuel same way nd in the cold morning still has same bad starting engine just stall sometimes it seems like motor has breathing difficulties but not sure what it is any suggestions please. It's r33 by the way um posting pics very soon it's got front facing plenum, front mount inter cooler apart from that it's a stock car. Sucking fuel more than 20 litres per 100 km don't know why

    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
