damn i just called jim wolf, and for the nismo side feed 550 cc injectors are 200 bucks a pop. so thats goin to be 800 in injectors alone. however they said that 550cc will only get you 300whp. i doubt that is true. he was trying to sell me 740cc injectors for 250 a pop. so thats 1000 in injectors alone. argh. what would you guys do?

Christ that's a lot.

550s will be good enough for 350whp easy.

Isn't there any way of logging to see how "open" the injectors are? With DSMs, you could see if an injector was at 85% duty cycle, or if you were maxing it out at 100% duty cycle, for example. Aren't there any basic loggers for 240s?

you can use an mdm techtom to veiw pulse width to find duty cycle.

you can get nismo injectors brand new for about $500 either 740's or 550's from places like enjuku and phase2. if you look around the forums you can find them cheaper. i jsut got a set of 550's for $350.

550's COULD do 400rwhp, but i would only go that high with race gas and a very reliable setup. 350rwhp no problem, which is what ill be going for

i only have 480's in right now. one of my 550's wasnt working right so i sent it out to hopefully get fixed.

im est. i'm around 310rwhp. i've HEARD the 480's will max out around 320rwhp. i reach almost 92% duty cylce with them currently.

For the record, do not rely on JWT for tuning advice. They'll you you're own car if you let them. They're a bunch of thieves on pricing too.

+1 on shopping around.
