this is wat happened, when i got my big turbo and injectors all put in and tuned, my tuner didnt put the pintal caps on the end of the injecors, which then causeed the o rings to push out into the fuel rail, which then i had back fire issues and dropping a cylinder, number 6....i took it back then he said its running fine and said i had fuel pressure problems, i then got a new FRP, put that in and then he said, number 6 injector has been modifiied and drilled out which causing it to run like shit (PE 850cc brand new)..then one weekend took out the rail to have a look at injecors and noticed all o rinngs were pushed out and no pintal caps....i then put stock ones on to get it back to the shop the next day, then drrove up and on way up number 2 injector was leaking, towed it to shop, tryed starting it then it hydrauliced it self.....then he spends 3 days on it, dryed out all cylinders, new oil, new filter, new plugs, new pintal caps, re tuned it for a safe tune, im now running 0.90 bar boost, before i was running 1.40 bar....and everytime i boost it its back fires, platters, shudders the car and flamage.....my tuner reacons "myself" f*ked the llife span on my motor and he doesnt want to boost it due to bores being a lil glazeed.........

thats my probllem, sorry for the loong story but had to give it out, so u understannd....

thanks guys...

wow

Umm....there are no words

Retracted comment due to following post.

It is true though because a workshops buisness can be affected by this sort of bad reporting, even if it may not have been their fault because we weren't getting the full story.

Once again everyone jumping on the band wagon. Were any of you there to see what had happened? Able to comment from personal experience. Considering he has named the shop I suggest everyone takes a second thought about posting about his abilities without knowing first hand what happened.

To start with: Why does your 'brand new' PE injectors come without pintle caps?

The story smells a little bit. There is more to it than what you are saying

Fair enough we don't know the story. But installing injectors isn't difficult for qualified mechanics but by the looks of it this guy couldn't even do that right and then suggest the bores are glazed is also stupid

Yeah that's true but we are also relying on the OP's description of the event. Sometimes people do not relay 100% of the information. Maybe the tuner described the possible side effects of a leaking injector?

The customer installed the injectors himself? Or maybe has done other things which has brought about the initial problem? Like supplying his own injectors that didn't come with pintle caps

Ok so there was more to the story but that doesnt change the hard facts. Is he not boosting it up any further because it has the standard injectors back in it?

Have you got to the bottom of why the injector stayed open?

If you are not sure about a tuner or mechanic go and talk to another one but just remember that they are humans and that they see and do things differently to each other. There are many ways to do alot of things, but go with the facts and start at the beginning check over everything and if it all looks ok then put it behind you. Have you checked to see if the glazing of the bore is only on the fuel affected cylinder or accross the six equally. if its the same on all six then it wasnt the fuel and it was like that before.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
