Injector cleaning/balancing

OK - I'm taking the inlet manifolds off (as many of you know already wink.gif), and I'm contemplating getting the injectors ultrasonically cleaned & balanced (I'd upgrade but a) stock turbos so no point, and b) I can't afford a grand on injectors!)..

 

Do people have any preferred places for this? Is it worth risking damaging them getting them out of the fuel rail to get it done? Or just leave well alone?

 

Cheers,

Az

Go for it Az, it's a cheap job to get done and you will then know they are up to job of what will be asked off them, Smithy

OK.. So - has anyone had this done and can recommend a reliable place? (that wont tell me they're all stuffed if they're not etc etc)

 

Ta,

Az

Does cleaning your injectors with ultra sonics work. Is it any good. Whats the going rate for it.

 

Stuart

Yes, yes and I dunno I'm waiting for someone to tell me who to talk to smile.gif Lol...

 

It's (AFAIK) the *only* way to break down hard deposits..

Az,

 

I do Ultrasonic work for a living but unfortunately only on 4-6 ton Aluminium plates, could always get a portable hand set and do them, no problems

Az,

Knowing your luck you'll just clean off the shite thats holding them together !

What about your nearest Lucas centre? They're fuel injection specialists so I'd have thought that they offer that service.

Is that an offer then Matty? wink.gif Mind you, you wouldn't have the gear to balance them...

 

Tim - good idea.. I'll check the yeller pages!

 

Andy - Thanks... Er... Yeah more than likely! Ah well, that'd be a good excuse to go for 555's/720's wink.gif

OK.. No.. you've got me worried now.. Maybe I won't do it.. Aargh.. Decisions!

I wreally hrave had enough of mocking asians i am lrealing this disgusting forum frown.gif

Hi Az, I've been recommended by two people of have them U/S cleaned.

 

However, since I'm getting uprated turbos and have to avoid pre-detonation at high boosts, I'm considering the extra expense of buying the GTR 555's. so....(question for the wider audience), how do I tackle the ECU's MAP for the stock injectors?

 

Also, on the Mine's website: (http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/merchandise/electronics.html), they have uprated Air mass meters. Is it recommended to replace the stock one, and get the ECU remapped to suit?

Get a grip!!

 

Am only having a laugh, and before you say it nope I am not racist, I have asian, Pakisatni, black and chinese friends and they rip it out of me just as much as I rip it out of them, it's called having a sense of humour.

 

I have just had mail from Ali (one of my asian friends) who signed of by calling me 'Pale Face', I know he is only kidding. If everyone was able to laugh at each other instead of taking offence the world would be a much happier place.

 

It's only racist if you make it racist, which I don't.

Timmy,

 

LMFAO........(crying)

 

Nakagima,

 

Don't make something out of nothing, it's the easiest thing in the world to do, read the posts, and have a pop back, it's all in good fun!

 

Like I said, NO offence intended.

Simon - mind if I ask how much the GTR 555's are costing you?

 

BTW - you'll need a different fuelling map in the ECU for 555 injectors.. I don't know of anyone who's gone to an uprated MAF, but I do know a lot of people run either dual POP/single MAF or dual POP/dual MAF (both require special ECU maps)...

 

JWT do maps for all those setups BTW..

 

Az

...an' I just like doin' da MAF!!! ROFL! Aiiiiiii!
