Sard 650cc Injectors

Pic 1: Sard 650cc injectors

As per my blog post about my Nismo 480cc injectors here and here, I need to upgrade to higher cc injectors as the ER34 is maxing out even on the Nismo injectors.

So what's out there that is available as direct plug and play with the ER34 OEM fuel rail? Blitz has a set that churns out 525cc while Sard makes a 650cc replacement. While having Blitz injectors may sound cool and all, but with just 45cc increment over the Nismo, it will definitely not cut it. So I guess the only option for me now is the Sard 650cc injectors.

Sard 650cc fuel injectors are top-feed, high impedance and an excellent upgrade if you have upgraded your turbine and are gunning for a bit more horses. The set of 6 injectors comes with bolts and spacers designed to use with the OEM fuel rails so it's just a simple case of taking out the old and putting these in. If you're wondering, these have a latency of 1.50msec.

I might not need the full 650cc of flow but in the event that I do anymore upgrades in the future (which I have absolutely no plan :P), at least I do not have to worry about injector capacity again.

With these new injectors, the injector and latency correction in the Power PC will need to be adjusted as per below:-

New Injector Correction
Old Size / New Size X 100
370 / 650 = 0.569 X 100 = 56.9%

New Latency Correction
New Latency - Old Latency
1.5 - 0.528 = +9.72 msec

Nismo 480cc injectors (16600-RR710)

As per my previous rant post here, the ER34 is maxing out it's stock 370cc injectors at around 5,000rpm. That is indeed not good at all.

There are a lot of choices for replacement out there from the ever popular SARD injectors of various cc to the offerings from HKS. There are also slightly cheaper alternative injectors from Deatschwerks that I have seriously considered some time ago.

Deatschwerks have a very competitively priced 440cc, 600cc and 800cc injectors for the ER34. In the end, I've decided on something "out of the ordinary". I opted for the Nismo 480cc injectors (Part No. 16600-RR710). Besides the ER34, these will also fit the CPV35, C35, Z33, WGC34, and WGNC34. If you're wondering, these retail for JPY13,500 per injector. Yes, it is costlier than the bigger cc SARD variety.

What is unique about these Nismo injectors is that instead of a single or dual spray nozzle, it has 4 spray nozzles per injector. Yeap, so in summary it is a top feed high impedance 4 hole spray pattern injector. As you can expect, with 4 sprays, you'll get very nice atomisation. These are pretty hard to come by. I've yet to know of anyone using these in Malaysia. Rare stuffs! :P

Why just 480cc and not go for higher cc injectors like the offering from SARD? Well I reckon I do not need such a high cc injector. It's good to have but afterall, my horsepower aspirations aren't that big. It's not, well, a GT-R so my power level will be pretty much conservative in a way. These should very well suffice for my needs. On the plus side, the uniqueness and exclusivity is great! These will fetch a darn good price in the market.

Hey, that gave me an idea! Should I sell these off and get bigger injectors from SARD? Hmmm ..... :P

Sard 265 per litre Fuel Pump

Pic 1: SARD Fuel Pump

How many of you guys knew what SARD stands for? I bet most if not all would never have guess that SARD actually is an abbreviation for Sigma Automotive Racing Development. Now that is something new eh??

Anyway, back to the purpose of this blog entry .......

Fueling and power comes hand in hand; well of course with the exception of those eco friendly cars. Gasoline powered cars running bigger capacity injectors or additional injectors, especially coupled with bigger turbo or higher boost requires good and steady fuel supply. This is where the fuel pump comes in play.

SARD made a myriad of fuel pump catering to different needs or state of tune. They have a 130 l/h, 165 l/h, 265 l/h, 280 l/h and many more different varients. All of them are high performance in-tank type pump that provides steady fuel pressure and keeps supplying enough fuel in any engine rpm. The one I have in my hand is the 265 litres per hour SARD Fuel Pump. Well, although I don't have upgraded injectors (yet!), I reckon I'll still need the SARD fuel pump to supply the excess fuel demanded by the ER34 when my upgrade project starts happening.

So yeah, here ya go with some pictures. :)

I have for sale SARD fuel rail delivery pipe and SARD 1,000cc injectors (195500-3650).

The SARD fuel rail delivery pipe is made from aluminum with gold anodized finishing. The fuel delivery pipe provides an easier installation of larger volume injectors for high horsepower engine which requires an increase in fuel quantity.

To complement the above, I've also SARD 1,000cc injectors (195500-3650) for sale. These are low impedance top-feed injectors. Great as replacement for factory RB26DETT 444cc injectors. The injector are made by DENSO for SARD thus the DENSO stamp on the injector body.

This combo is a must if you are aftering higher horse power. Will only sell as a set. Let me know if you are interested.

Why silicone hoses must be blue in colour?

Sigh....it happened again. My boost sensor hose has split its ends. This time round, I decided once and for all to get replacements instead of trimming and reusing the current hose.

Went searching around for tougher silicone hoses from the local speedshops. Found those offerings by SAMCO and SARD but all of them are blue in colour! Why must silicone hose be blue in colour? Can't it be black like what a hose is supposed to be like? Aren't blue a bit on the riceboy side of things???

Anyway, since there's no silicone hoses in black, I got the normal black rubber hoses and replaced mine.

Now my boost meter is back in function. :)
