i have heard that a cheap and effective upgrade for the RB26 440cc injectors is a set of RX7 series IV 550cc injectors that fit striaght into the fuel rail..

there is a guy selling a set of 550cc injectors that are off a 13B turbo.. but he isnt sure what series they are from? without knowing what series, would it still be safe to assume that they would be suitable for use on an RB26 or not??

i think he said they were used on a VL turbo for a while if this helps?

thanks for any info.. :D

If they have a brown top they will be low impedence and suitable for drop in replacement.

If they have a pink/purple top they will be high impedence and will still work but you will need to remove the factory dropping resistor pack from the loom.

I cant remember part numbers off the top of my head but it really does come down to the colour of the plug as there are series 4 high imp injectors out there with low imp part numbers (i have a set) the difference is the plug colour.

cheers thanks for the info.. i think they have a brown top so looks all good, if they did happen to be high impedence tho is it a big job to remove the factory dropping resistot pack from the loom?? and after doing so would they then work exactly like low impedence injectors?? thanks agn..

they actually have purple top.... do u think its would be worth the effort to make them compatible? they are quite cheap.. or should i just save the time and effort it and look for some low impedence injectors?? is it an expensive/ inefficient process or simple??

cheers

Simple, all you are doing is chopping the wires either side of the resistor and connecting them back up.

You may need to modify the injector plug to fit the GTR plugs as the rx7 injector has an offset locating pin. All you need to do is file it flat.

Have heard people report these injectors failing in piston engines costing them there whole engine.

IMHO if your going to get injectors then get a set of SARD or Nismo or HKS or whatever bolts in. get 700cc - much better to run less then 70% inj duty with room for improvement.

I've run them for 6 months in an rb20 with no problems, it all come down to tuning. What i did notice was at idle and low revs on high vacuum i needed to add a bit of extra fuel for the car to run smoothly, otherwise no problems.

They are all single pintle top feeds after all. If we were talking rb25's it'd be a different story

The main thing is that they are cleaned and flow tested before installation.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
