hi i bought an engine and put it in from SSS automotive and i didnt know u should put ur old injectors in the new engine or get the new 1's cleaned since they would have stuff dried out in them. nehow i was told the old petrol has dried up and now since they have had new fuel in them the old stuff went sticky and blocked them

neways i got a dyno and they told me my injectors are playing up and need cleaning...

so i was thinking im taking the head of my car tomorrow and i wanted to know is there some way i can clean my injectors when i take them out at home,

cause it would save alot of money??

are you sure of this? i mean engines and injectors run for many 100,000kms without any cleaning or changing etc and they work fine

oh i forgot to say when i had it dyno'd they took out my fuel filter, it must have been that old the filter broke off its casing and all the stuff in it must have went through into the injectors

Yeah cleaning injectors is no problem if you have your own ultrasonic cleaner, maybe a jeweler could do it cheap their their ultrasonic cleaner, done by pros who does fuel injectors your looking at about 20-40 per injector cleaned.

Show me a 'pro' that uses an immersion ultrasonic cleaner to 'clean' fuel injectors and I'll show you a 'pro' to run a mile from. Using that type of cleaner WILL result in damage to the injector pintle valve (it's a type of wear damage and the technical term is false brinelling)

A 'pro' that knows what he is doing will use a dedicated injector cleaning bench in which a special cleaning fluid is passed through the injector as it is cycled using a dedicated controller (ie very similar to the job the engine ECU does). At no time is the injector body immersed in the fluid.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
