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,

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
