Hey guys, i think i've got an injector problem.

I've noticed a stain lately on one of the intake pipes just under injector 1 in my engine bay - wasn't sure where the stain came from as i thought that petrol wouldn't stain and could be oil related (although the injector did look a little wet).

Upon degreasing the area, i noticed the stain coming back. Today i was giving the motor a rev in the engine bay and looking closely at the injector....on light throttle i could see a very fine mist coming from about the middle of the injector, and then a small sort of bubble sitting under the injector.

I have some photos attached here:

What should i do with this? Can i repair the injector, or should i go ahead a buy a new one as i know they're not deer for the standard RB20DET injectors.

Is it safe to continue driving like this?

Anyone have any RB20DET injectors for sale? (Standard injectors are red ,they are a JECS injector and

the number on the side is A46-000001)

Thanks in advance,

Steve.

Yeah it will be the injector leaking from the body o-ring between the plastic top and metal body.

It’s an unserviceable part and will require replacement ASAP if you wish to prevent a fire hazard.

Either get a new one or get a s/hand one and get it ultrasonically clean before putting it into your engine.

From memory the rb20 injectors are a 270cc high impedance type.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
