Nah haven't...I get my shit done at Petroject...who are now Logicar...standard sort of price ~$35 inc. GST for reconditioning and flow testing.

Note that there is a difference between simply cleaning injectors (some mechanical workshops will just run injector cleaner through them or ultrasonically clean) and reconditioning them with new seals/filters/O-rings.

Resurrecting an old thread just in case anyone else is googling the same.

I just had a set of injectors flow tested by Injectorsonline in Springvale VIC, good quick service at the right price, recommended. Worked great by post, too.

I got a quote from someone else at almost $40 each to test and service, which doesn't really make sense with a second hand set...

It does if you're buying top shelf injectors - basically renders the injectors new, all things equal.

Did injectorsonline replace o rings, filters and end caps?

Injectors online is same as expert Injector clean isn't it.....same address.

also here's a

Tip for fresh players...only ask for an injector test...as its only about 8$ each and quite often they don't need cleaning...I mean I had 6 tested and only one needed to be cleaned...all up cost me about 60$..If you ask them to clean them all they will whether they need it or not.and charge accordingly...I mean why pay to clean injectors that aren't dirty...

Spot on Artz, I was after just a flow test, not cleaning. I'm sure the price would have been different for a full clean.

Birds, I got them to visually inspect the supplied o-rings, all good.

If you're putting new injectors in, I'd be replacing the o-rings since they cheap as chips and even ones which look good could be on the verge of breaking down...

The time/effort involved to replace them once they're in the car is too much :P

As Simon said...O rings are like timing belts...they can look as good after 10km as they do 100,000. Considering they are like 50 cents each, it's worth doing for the peace of mind IMO. Hopefully you don't have any issues.

Always rmemeber too people, if you're installing your own injectors, put a rubber safe lubricant like Vaseline on the O rings so they seat properly in the rail and manifold.

I didn't think Vaso was safe to use on rubberz... KY's the go. :P

Considering that the clean and test is half the price of new injectors in some cases, I know which way I would be going... Xspurt 1000's please. :)

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman 路 Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera 路 Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
