Opinions on injector upgrades needed!

-Engine rb30det VCT HEAD around 300-350rwkw

Just picked up the long motor from the engine builders and before slinging it back in I need to sort out my fuel delivery issues.

To get around the expensive side feed problem I have had a fuel rail built to suit the more popular top feed injectors but am struggling to find out what injectors will do the job cheaply. I have worked out that they will need to be around 550cc to flow enough for the power output but I'm having issues with compatabilty with the Apexi PFC. It likes high impedence Jap brands and the common Bosch 363(low impedence) apparently don't work to well with the PFC. I have heard RX7 S6 secondary injectors work OK but they are proving expensive and hard to get secondhand. Anyone have a proven setup that will suit this setup?

go to the SARD 700CC bolt in injectors - sell your rail.

The rail is costing me nothing and sard product is very expensive. My intake manifold doesn't know if the fuel is coming from a $50 injector or a $200 injector and I would rather spend my budget on upgrading my rods to race items and ceramic coating my forgies......but...... sards would be nice and easy if I had the bucks...

Anyone else have a proven solution?

Simple, use low impedance, top feed injectors and put a resistor in series with them to bring them up to high impedance. I am using the usual S5RX7T, which are rated at 550 cc's, but actually flow around 565 to 570 cc's at 36 psi base rail pressure and 625 cc's at 45 psi.:(

Aha , the Kid is in the house. As always, cheers for the input. My Tuner (ex apexi japan trained) tells me that he has had probs making low imp units work nicely with the PFC (specifically Bosch 363's which can be bought cheap/flow around 550cc and are a common performance upgrade). Within the PFC you can tell it what injector setup you have, what have you told it when you use those s5 rx7 units? are they primary or secondary units? shit it's frustrating not knowing....

I am not a rotary expert, but I think the S5RX7T had 4 X 550 cc injectors. I got mine off a well know rotary race engine builder a couple of years ago, we went though 8 to get 6 good ones.

I believe you would have problems with just low impedance injectors. but the resistors should fix that. As for settings, I didn't tell the Power FC anything, I just tuned the maps. The default injector lag is 0.528 milliseconds at 14volts.

I believe that Rochester make high impedance top feed injectors, so maybe try them. The Electromotive ECU (popular in US racing) runs peak and hold which likes low impedance, so they should be cheap and popular over there. With no import duty (free trade agreement, good on you Johnny) they are even more economical.

Hope that helps:cheers:

why are you cutting corners for a big power motor?

i'd be using the normal rail with nismo 700cc injectors and then you know 100% they will work without any problems at all as they are tried and proven.

im not even using an adj reg and ive got no problems

go to the SARD 700CC bolt in injectors - sell your rail.

So, in spite of Sard injectors known for being hard to fit (not a drop in, even with collars!), hard to tune (non-standard injector lag) and as side feed injectors, generally a pain in the ass to remove and install (pintle caps off of the shelf are they?), you recommend them do you? They are the cheapest of the jap side feeds and it shows. If you *had* to go side feeds, the nismos or hks are a far better choice.

Rails cost nothing and theres a far greater range of top feeds. I don't blame the_tonkau for going this route.

Thanks for the imput guys! Spending big bucks doesn't always mean the best solution as many tuners of modded cars know all to well. Lets say I find a cheaper way around the touch your toes/bend over cost of expensive side feed injectors, I'm sure alot of the people on this forum would be able take advantage of this cheap solution. Isn't that the idea of this forum? to share idea's and solve problems economically?

Keep the idea's coming team!

Cheers

Another idea is to get a company like AVO to high flow stock injectors also. Apparently you can get stock rb25 370cc jobs up to 500cc........

Yep, but they charge more than I can buy new 550cc Rochester injectors for:cheers:

Well guys, in the end I went down the route of reco S5 RX7 injectors (high impedence 550cc top feed) for $300 and had a mate from Mullins Engineering in Bayswater make me up a new fuel rail. Looks great and from the research completed, should work great. Next issue is trying to make the rb25det plenum fit under the bonnet (r33 S1 gtst) after the rb30det went in! wish me luck lads!

cheers

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
