I've been around maxima.org for a while, just started a new name with the purchase of a new car. Im plan on doing a custom turbo setup but im having some issues on how the fuel setup should be. My main concern are the fuel injectors, I hear people telling me that the injectors are the same as 350z/g35's because of the engine code. Some people tell me that they are different, I just want to put it out there and ask, are they? Im getting confused with the different answers and I just want the veterans on here, or just people that know to tell me if they are different or not. Im pretty sure I can get some custom injectors made from a company, but instead of going through all that hassle right now, I wanted to know im 350z/g35 injectors are compatable with the maxima vq35 motor. Thanks for the help, call me a noob if you want, I just wanted to be 100% sure before I went ahead ordering parts, and order the wrong stuff and end up being screwed. Thanks.

 

Does anyone know? Or just neglecting to tell me.

 

Keep us updated.

Call DAEVEB and ask about part #'s on the injectors for 100% clarification, but AFAIK, they're the same.

per alldata. i have no idea what the difference is, and it seems that theyd be the same... but if youre running boost you dont really want 350z/g35 injectors anyway, right?

maybe the orientation of the engine and i/m clearance

 

I believe they are different. I am running 350z aftermarket injectors in my car which is a VQ30DEK. These are direct plug in for my car, but not for yours. I would look into RC injectors which come with a pig tail harness which would require you to splice into the stock injector wirring harness. Its not exactly plug and play but they are good injectors and will work fine.

 

There you have it ....
I think maybe your question was more a long the lines of "if they're the same as the Z, then the Z has more aftermarket boost support, so I could use whatever the Z uses for upgrades"


Rather than " the Z/G injectors will best suit my boosting needs since they are rated more HP than the Maxima."

 

Alright thanks guys, I guess I will give rc a call and see what they have, or just wait a few months at 5-8psi with stock injectors until they come out with some for the vq35(maxima). Thanks

 

or... send your injectors out to have them rebuilt for higher flow.

 

I don't see that happening w/ the injectors for the maxima since there are no aftermarket F/I kits available.

As for the injectors go to a local performance shop and tell the what you have and plan to do and they will hook you up w/ the right size and model injector

 

I think you can only do it for the side feed injectors not the top feed. I know for a fact it can't be done to my stockers on my 2000(top feed same as the 3.5L)

 

You don't need to wait for injectors because the FBJC100 and FBJC101 injectors are identical on the outside and can be used as direct replacements for each other, tuning aside for different flow rates. Therefore the same injectors that will work in the 350Z will also work in the A33B Maxima.

 

Well i retract my statement

I thought there was still a difference such as the connector. Not arguing w/ you i just thought i remembered a thread in the FI forum saying the VQ30DEK could use the 350z injectors, but not the VQ35 maxima. Maybe they were just going by part#

 

The connectors are the same, only the part numbers and flow rates differ. The RC 440 CC injectors DO have different connectors though. But they come with new pigtails in the Greddy TT kit, so at that point it wouldn't matter anyways.

The 2k1 Maxima uses the exact same injectors as the 350Z, this is probably why that statement was made. (FBJC100, 290cc @ 3.0BAR, 335cc @ 3.5 BAR)

 

AHHHH point taken. Yeah mine are working like a charm. I would recomend the Power enterprise over the RC's in that case. The idle is very smooth w/ these.

 

Thanks, im going to try and find some power enterprise 610cc-650cc injectors for my custom FI setup.

 

Based on the specs you've given me it doesn't really sound like you're planning around the stock internals.

 

Nope, im getting arias low compression pistons with eagle rods.

 

I was going to suggest the Eagle rods if you didn't mention them. The Arias pistons seem to be the most widely used choice and seem to be cost effective. Although I would choose Mahle pistons above anything else if they were availible.

 

Yep. You see I did do a little research.LOL. No all I have to research is and how to get it to work along friendly with boost.

 

I think you're setting your starting goals too high.

 

Ok let me forget the nx for now and just stay on the boost setup.

 

i know you can do it with top feeds... but why not yours. ive never heard that before

 

So can I tell them I don't want the connectors, I just want the injectors and then it will be a direct replacement. Or am I better off getting the connectors?
