Cleaning Injectors

[Roy]

Can people please list places that clean and flow test injectors... prefereably in western Sydney like Blacktown/Penrith... or anywhere you have had dealings with and can recommend

Thanks

Injection perfection (bankstown airport) seem to have a good rep. They quoted me $33 an injector, being cleaned in a bath, and then thru 1 of the pulsing machines. $33 seems abit steep?

Another place at lidcombe (search thru posts abotu cleaning) said $22 an injector.

Let me know how it goes. Im looking to do the same, though just waiting til i decide if im going to clean these, or replace with higher feed unit.

Used Injection perfection a few years ago for my BM, knew their stuff and had all the right gear.

Thats like $190....???? I hope that includes flow testing and new o-rings etc. Ill try them on Monday.

Its strange the things that stick in your mind, i thought $8 (aprox) for ultrasonic cleaning was close to the mark, so maybe $33 is for flow testing and new o-rings etc?

[benm]

Interesting... lemme know how u go Roy.

$33 per injector seems expensive - I think Steve from SA got them done for like $5 each.

Nepean EFI are at Penrith, can't remeber how much though. Are you pulling the injectors out or taking the car to them?

[benm]

ahh yes i went to Nepean EFI once with my old old car ('82 Mazda 323). He did some work their to help fix it.

[Brody]

Has any1 noticed anything after having their injectors cleaned?

I had mine done by Jamie Waterhouse (4721 7227) at peach tree... he did my whole 100,000km service (I supplyed the timing belt though) and I think it cost about $600 all up. Have the recipts somewhere but he has always met (or been VERY close to) his quotes and has also done a good job.

He once had my car for two days (Friday Arvo, Saturday and Sunday morning) looking for a problem with a miss... he eventually didn't find anything after spending most of the weekend on it (he usually only does half Saturday) and when he gave it back he said... I could not find the problem... (Pressure tested and flow tested and all sorts of things... even had the fuel pump out) when asked how much I owed him for his time he said "nothing... he didn't fix a thing."

I noticed that I got a much more smooth power delivery and it felt to me like I got a power gain. I had the injectors removed when they were cleaned.

I have also heard good reports about Nepean EFI and they are just off Batt street I think?

[benm]

Im assuming when u guys say "flow tested" they just check if the injectors are clogged etc etc ?

[B-Man]

Yeah , I see your point Ben.

Flow and pattern testing , as I understand it means: Pressurize each injector, activate it, measure the flow (in cc's) and pattern (like does it dribble or is a nice spray) [yeak OK that is not a very technical explanation]

Cleaning is seperate -

No point cleaning a stuffed injector !

[Roy]

Yeh they are out of the car, i just want to be sure that faulty injector (they are 2nd hand) isnt going to cook my engine, thanks ppl ill do the ring around today.

pm sent

[Brody]

any news?

[Roy]

Got them back today, $25 each, by my local EFI place. Im happy, im now one step closer to putting on my GTR turbo!

[Brody]

25 each with new o rings?

how did they clean them?

have u tested them? feel better?

which shop?

Few questions coz im looking at getting mine done

[Roy]

It included new O-rings and Plastic tips (whatever they are called) and were ultrasonically cleaned, and flow tested as well as checking the spray pattern.

Let me check the receipt when i get home for the name, i only know it as the blue building near the gym

As for differences in driving, ill never know, they are GTR injectors going into my Rb20, along with a new turbo and ECU. So was more a peace of mind thing for the new setup

[Majanal]

JESUS... your pushing me into buying that 3040 I have always wanted so I can keep up with ya down the main straight at EC!

[B-Man]

Roy,

Did you get the results for each test on each injector - like on paper ?? Or did they just say 'yeah they are ok'

If the former, can you let me know where you got them done ??

I need to test 6 Hi Flow pieces of shit injectors - prolly they are still stock which would explain my smallish engine issue.... Anyway that's another story....

Thanks mate,
