Can anyone tell me if/what is Hi Flowing standard injectors ?? I'm guessing that they are bored out a bit and given something for more oomph. ??

Are they as good as replacing std injectors with say Nismo or Sard injectors ??

Thanks in advance,

Have you been reading Zoom mag? I saw an article in there where it states that Paramout performance in QLD (07) 4659 9711 did this to ford injectors, taking them out to 550cc from a mere 180cc. Unfortunatley, the process is stated as being 'a bit of a secret'. It would be interesting to see what they can do to a set of stock Nissan 370cc squirters!

I wouldn't recommend this approach if you can afford to purchase properly sized injectors. With most injectors it is possible to replace most of the parts to make them hi-flow, but the cost heads toward that of buying aftermarket Bosch ones.

Aslong as the injectors are flow tested to ensure that they are providing the stated flow rate then they should be fine, but you have to weight whether the risk is worth the cost saving.

If you have a GTS-t then this appraoch would have the added benefit of not needing to replace the fuel rail, for top feed injectors.

Brendan,

I went and spoke with Jim from Croydon Racing Development and he also recommended hi flowing my stock injectors rather than replacing with an aftermarket injecter like the Nismo 550cc.

His reasons being its alot cheaper, the stock injectors can be modified to run 650cc and they are individually balanced.

Nick,

Thanks - Mark has a guy working for him now that does this - and has done to mine - I believe mine are now flowing at 610cc .

I know I am a bit of a guinea pig, but like you say, cheaper and better - The car should be on thre Dyno on Friday !! Let's see the results !!

Merry Christmas !!

Hi Guys,

I was discussing this option with some of the tuners I know, and they said not to do it. An injector is build as a sealed unit, therefore the only way to get more fuel out is to bore the nozzle. The nozzles are specifically designed to atomise the fuel as it leaves the injector, creating a fine spray of fuel mist. The reason for this is that it provides a greater A/F surface area, which aids in a cleaner burn and therefore better power delivery.

If the nozzles are bored then the fuel will squirt out in a stream, and not provide the optimum fuel delivery. I know a few people see this as a cheap alternative to expensive after-market injectors, but I would wait and see the results before jumping on board. If this was a good option then I think we would have seen the Japs doing it, or it would have been mentioned in an Import car mag.

This is just my opinion, if anyone wants to try it then cool, just let us know how it performs and the cost of the hi-flowing.

See'ya:burnout:

$100 per injector? Is that high impedence, side feed? If so please let me know where, as I was looking at second hand 550s, and the cheapest I have seen were over $200

Steve

EDIT: first heard of the high flowing in a Zoom mag, where a guy was getting 413rwkw using high flow injectors.

Ah, top feed - just wish I was doing the plenum, then it would be a different ball game. When you recon in the cost difference between the side feeds for use with stock plenum, against the cost of top feed with a modified plenum, the cost isnt a huge difference.

Have heard it is damn near impossible to get top feeds under the stock plenum (why in gods name didnt they give the gts the same plenum as the gtr).

Steve,

I always hated the GTS-t plenum design, therefore I changed it as soon as possible. It gives me the added advantage of a range of top feed injectors at resonable prices. You can always have my factory ones and hi-flow them once I get my new injectors put in.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
