Don't be dericulus ! For a $185 ?

I got the BMW M8 Competition F93 Auto M xDrive

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

@PLYNX asif you would have bought a BMW  

 

Remember how I said nothing goes to plan with the R33? so spent a few hours at Birrong trying to start the stupid car, we got it going with start ya bastard. Car had injector pulse, spark, registered RPM, you name it! Everything was working as one would assume.

Both scratching our heads, then he got one of the workers to pull them all out and put then in an injector bath. Surprise surprise, every single one seized.

Amazing right? These are about 2 years old, have had like no more than 5000km on them and yep.. dead!

Anyhow, more money to burn - picking up a brand new set of 6 tomorrow.

yeah I had a set of seized injectors pissing me off last rebuild too. No e85, just a bit of moisture in the system somewhere along the line

[BK]

Same here, had this happen across all the GTRs with 700, 1000 and 1550cc types. Are you sure they are infact seized or just stuck ? How long were they cleaned for ? I have had all different sets injectors which once cleaned for 30mins + unstuck themselves. Sent them to be ultrasonically cleaned and tested and they come back pulsing and flowing fine.

You have the Bosch EV14 1550cc yeah ?

@Duncan I think having the cold side out of the car and sitting on a bench may have contributed to this.

@BK I "could" take them to an injector place however burning time (and money) leaving the car in the shop, so easier to get a new set. Will try clean/service the old set, then sell them to recoup costs.

And yes they're the 1480/1550/1650 (at 4bar) as everyone calls them.

This is making me nervous now, my car has been sitting in the garage for a month now with the two fuel lines that come from the tank just sitting with nothing but a plastic bag zip-tied over the lines as a cap. The injectors are out for servicing but it's going to suck if the fuel absorbs water or something and damages the injectors as soon as I get the car back together.

Yeah fair enough, but I bet there is a high chance to unstlck them and they will not be compromised. I know Bosch and ID actually recommend you to submerge them in fuel when in storage to prevent this (not that I've ever done or seen anyone do that). I have the same EV14 1550cc in the blue 32, but Denso EV1 700cc and 1000cc in the other two - all stuck even from 98.

It's just weird when they do that after sitting and sticking because everytime I've sent them away, (to Adelaide mind you, not just down the road) they clean them first, then flow test them - and then EVERYTIME report there's nothing bloody wrong with them ! Grrr !

It just seems to stick them, not damage them and is completely random. I've had my 33 sit for 2 years without starting it before and not stick. Water getting into fuel and damaging fuel pumps is more likely - I think I'm on my 4th Nismo pump in the 33 in 18 years as they do fail from sitting.

You won't have an issue, as serviced injectors generally would have some lubricant applied.

And once everything is installed and then primed you theoretically should have a closed loop system.

And I'll be off to shed tonight to put some bags over my hanging fuel lines...

Oh no I made a mistake !  I wouldn't buy a 2021 BMW M8 Competition F93 Auto M xDrive !

Its the 2021 BMW M8 Competition F92 Auto M xDrive I was after ! ! ! 

Don't need four doors . . . . . 

But you, in the end, are correct. Got house buying priorities first at the moment

[Piggaz]

After sitting so long isn’t it just a “thing you do” to flow up and check the injectors before dyno time? Doesn’t take much variance between them to upset a “highly strung” setup. 

🤷‍♂️

You don't get to post anything in here without a GT-R update and some onboard footage of you banging gears. 

Thanks

Yeah normally I would, however these injectors probably has seen less than 5000km of use - lesson learnt nevertheless. 

Other than that, DBW works, closed loop idle worked well with a can of start ya bastard sprayed into the throttle 😂

On stands, no rego, hot side off and a thick layer of dust. Might come back to it in 4 years.

Building a house. Pushingcash towards that, don’t really have the time to take a toy for a drive at the moment. Last time it was registered I drove it like 3 times.
Life changes, priorities change. It’s a toy. 🤷‍♂️
 

Back to johnnies car. No need to stink up his thread with my dribble.
