Injectors Clicking Loudly

[BJM 24]

I have ordered new injectors from USA but going to be a few weeks. But my injectors are clicking really loudly. Just wondering is it safe to drive with out it ever leaning out? it has stock turbo on stock boost.

Ticking louder than normal?

Ie - has this just started?

Injectors generally do make quite a bit of noise if you have a quiet exhaust etc, even more so.

Mine have always ticked sounded like lifters at first but I used the screwdriver trick to find the noise led to injectors apparently they all do it

Constant tick. Yer I did the screw driver test too it's way louder than normal I know they tick but I can hear it from the drivers sest

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

mine are pretty loud

Ok does anyone know if they are preventing fuel flow by ticking loudly?

[BJM 24]

Cause I don't want to lean my motor out

Them ticking just means they are working in my opinion

Correct, no ticking=bad

Ticking=good.

I've also noticed, bigger aftermarket injectors are usually louder.

its quite annoying, here I was thinking mine were just getting old and dirty...

do the dyno dynamics injectors tick loudly as well....

[R31Nismoid]

I can hear mine from inside the car easily.

Mine are almost new as well.

If you are worried, get it on a dyno and have it checked etc.

If you are near sydney, pop past and I'll check your mixtures for you,

I think you'd struggle to damage a stock setup though.

seen many RB's thrashed with severe fueling issues, when the engine are only making stock numbers it often doesn't hurt them to run lean.

If the injectors are a problem, a miss fire, or loss of power would be quite noticeable.

I'm in WA thanks thou guys it's running fine but I have just put the motor in the car last week. Never heard it do loud they may be aftermarket then I havnt actaully checked yet. I assumed they were broken with the loud ticking but guess not think I'm going to pull them out anyways or is their a way I can test them in the car? With out putting the car on a dyno

[luvpsi]

Is it stock ecu if so they will be fine or it would be misfiring and lean popping

[luke gtr]

If you don't want to dyno the car, pull out just the injectors, and get them flow tested at a place that does injector cleaning and testing.

[GTR_JOEY]

It's just the solenoids in the injectors goin on and off,

It means they are working, nothing to worry about

That is what I would do if I was paranoid about it.

i just started my car for the first time with ID1000 injectors and you can notice the clicking noise big time
