Injection perfection (bankstown airport) seem to have a good rep. They quoted me $33 an injector, being cleaned in a bath, and then thru 1 of the pulsing machines. $33 seems abit steep?

Another place at lidcombe (search thru posts abotu cleaning) said $22 an injector.

Let me know how it goes. Im looking to do the same, though just waiting til i decide if im going to clean these, or replace with higher feed unit.

Thats like $190....???? I hope that includes flow testing and new o-rings etc. Ill try them on Monday.

Its strange the things that stick in your mind, i thought $8 (aprox) for ultrasonic cleaning was close to the mark, so maybe $33 is for flow testing and new o-rings etc?

I had mine done by Jamie Waterhouse (4721 7227) at peach tree... he did my whole 100,000km service (I supplyed the timing belt though) and I think it cost about $600 all up. Have the recipts somewhere but he has always met (or been VERY close to) his quotes and has also done a good job.

He once had my car for two days (Friday Arvo, Saturday and Sunday morning) looking for a problem with a miss... he eventually didn't find anything after spending most of the weekend on it (he usually only does half Saturday) and when he gave it back he said... I could not find the problem... (Pressure tested and flow tested and all sorts of things... even had the fuel pump out) when asked how much I owed him for his time he said "nothing... he didn't fix a thing."

I noticed that I got a much more smooth power delivery and it felt to me like I got a power gain. I had the injectors removed when they were cleaned.

I have also heard good reports about Nepean EFI and they are just off Batt street I think?

Yeah , I see your point Ben.

Flow and pattern testing , as I understand it means: Pressurize each injector, activate it, measure the flow (in cc's) and pattern (like does it dribble or is a nice spray) [yeak OK that is not a very technical explanation]

Cleaning is seperate -

No point cleaning a stuffed injector !

It included new O-rings and Plastic tips (whatever they are called) and were ultrasonically cleaned, and flow tested as well as checking the spray pattern.

Let me check the receipt when i get home for the name, i only know it as the blue building near the gym

As for differences in driving, ill never know, they are GTR injectors going into my Rb20, along with a new turbo and ECU. So was more a peace of mind thing for the new setup

Roy,

Did you get the results for each test on each injector - like on paper ?? Or did they just say 'yeah they are ok'

If the former, can you let me know where you got them done ??

I need to test 6 Hi Flow pieces of shit injectors - prolly they are still stock which would explain my smallish engine issue.... Anyway that's another story....

Thanks mate,

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
