Hi ppls.

I've ran in to an injector problem and have had to get another set cleaned up and the old set that are stuffed ripped out.

I am after a place in SA that do a good job for a decent price.

Let me know if you know of some one and have had experience with them.

I think his name is John, cleaned my GTR injectors and got them flowing within 2% of eachother. He gave the terminals a clean as well, made sure everything was 100%

From memory it cost me less than $150, I think it was about $130

:) Chris

got my injectors cleaned at sprints fuel and carburettors

on bridge rd, next to the hyundai car dealer.

Cost me about $120 including new o-rings.

hope this helps.

had the car in tilbrooks cause the car was leaning out.

Thought it was the fuel pump, but replaced that and

still found that i had the same problem. Then borrowed

a standard set of injectors from tillbrooks and got them

cleaned and the car still ran lean when i put them in.

So they think my computer has been chipped, but my

car was stock when i bought it so i have a problem

that no one can figure out.

That's why i got my injectors cleaned.

the fuel pressure reg is now been squished to hold pressure.

this brought the fuel map down .3. From 12.3 to 12, tilbrooks

said it wasn't the problem, its got everyone scratching their heads.

if i don't sell the car i will be putting an ajustable fuel pressure reg

on the car, will see if this makes a difference. I will also be checking

the computer for a chip. :P

i had my vl turbo ones done at mildren race engineering.

they are a bit more expensive than some places (because they charge extra for o-rings or new pintle caps) but they did the best out of the 3 places i've been to.

i had two other sets for my previous cars cleaned at other places (one near city dismantlers and one in lonsdale) and both times after the clean the cars were harder and required more cranking to start, which is apparently an indication of leaking injectors (and the puff of black smoke one of them blew after every startup confirms that).

I went through these guys to flow test, clean and re-flow test some injectors I might put into my FJ20, I requested a before and after so I could see the difference of what the clean did, they also replaced the pintle bits and o-rings and another rubber that sits near the top of the injector in the price, $25 per injector, extra if you need them to take them out of the fuel rail for you.

The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that they couldn't tell me how many cc/min the injectors are good for! Which to me seems a pretty basic thing, they do however give you details on how fast it flows a certain amount of volume, so from that you can work out the approx cc/min of the injectors based on the pressure they feed them at.

It's $20 per injector if you only want them cleaned and flow tested.

Cheers,

it was worth the money for the peace of mind i suppose, turns out they werent badly blocked or anything. the spray pattern is just hand drawn so in my case it didnt show any difference. however the flow rates were all the same after and they did vary a bit before.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
