No I wouldnt recommend this. Sometimes people get good results, sometimes not.

If you dont mind gambling, and you feel lucky go for it.

If you dont mind spending a little more (and tey arent that expensive at the moment, even new) and want the peace of mind knowing that you have a reliable know good product - with better resale value, buy proper aftermarket injectors.

what tricks do you have up your sleeve to lower the duty cycle? My injectors hit 97.7% duty cycle the other night ;) Its going in for more fuel pressure and a tidy-up tune tomorrow..

even with duty cycle so high, the AFRs are fine and theres no knocking. Why do people say dont go over 80% duty cycle? (it only seems to go into the 90's on cold nights)

Hi Sly33, all engines need a richer mixture to accelerate, so if you are driving along at 97% and put your foot down there is no capacity left in the injector to add fuel, so the engine will either bog or only accelerate slowly. That's the bad news. The good news is the 97% injector duty you see probably happens as you are accelerating and using that extra fuel. You have to check injector duty at constant throttle (not accelerating or decelerating) to abide by the 80% rule.

Also when an engine is cold it needs a lot richer mixture, if the injectors have no cpacity for this richness it will run bad when cold. Same when you have the air con on, turning the power steering, hi beam or running that mega stereo.

Hope that helps

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
