After Cleaning And Flow Testing Injector Car Performance Drops....

Hi All,

You've probably read my other stupid post about me hooking up the fuel lines backwards and "thinking" that the place who cleaned my injectors fried them.... Anyhow I've assembled the fuel rail, plenum, throttle body with new seals and gaskets... And the car starts.

The Good News

I've noticed it starts easier, plus idles much nicer with no idle hunting and also the motor is heaps more quiet.

The Bad News

Feels like the car is 2x slower than before, I can't feel the kick when the boost hits. I've checked for leaky vaccuum lines & other air lines that go to the AAC, etc... no leaks... and the boost still registers 12PSI..

What is going on?

So in your opinion, you think it's running more rich?

that is fairly common from what i have seen , that cleaning your injectors allows them to flow more ..

flowing more for any given pulse of the injectors would mean that more fuel per pulse, which would be more rich, as the ECU doesnt know how much its flowing, only how long its pulse is.

so yes, it would be running more rich

I'd say get some management as Chris said :laugh:

You've hd it running leaner than normal... now its just running as normal and needs to be leaned out again in the correct fashion.

See how it goes after that... shouldnt be an issue i reckon

But leaning out is asking for trouble right?

Well I might get a re-map done again on my ECU and see how I go from there....

just get a quick recheck of the AFR's ona dyno

if they are good now, means they were bad before.

You probably should reset your ECU after cleaning the injectors so it can re-learn the set up. It can take a couple hundred kays to settle in.

Also it could be that you were actually running closer to normal AFR's because the injectors were dirty. The actual reason could be that the O2 sensor is kaput & the system is running over rich because of it.

Look for lots of black crap on the bumper around the exhaust after a weeks worth of driving, a good indication it's over-rich.

It's not running rich, my bumper isn't that dirty...

I think what Craved said was correct, because my injectors were so dirty the car was leaning out hence giving out more power...

I'll throw is on the dyno when I got money, so broke now

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
