I have had similar issue's with the ebay use injectors. Up to 30% out on a pulse test. Cleaned and reflowed they came up fine.

Injector service guy thinks they put some form of lubricant in for storing and sending and the libricant isnt breaking down so getting clogged.

Yeah they do, Every injector should be tested out of the box.

Firstly, most manufactures put shipping wax in them to stop oxidisation.

Secondly, if they don't, then oxidising occurs and that needs to be cleaned out.

Its the complete failing of injectors after they have been used that is a common problem.

Particular injectors that are treated in certain ways cause them to stop working.

Also you have to be careful with fuels that absorb moisture out of the air. They can very easily cause congealing in the filters.

This is worst case......... If one of your injectors flows 10% less..... Bang goes your engine.

If the injector stops completely then there is no fuel to make the bang to case any heat, so no dead engine.

seems like im on the right path....

a mate has some "bosch indy white" 1600cc injectors, they are low impedance/11mm top o-ring so should be direct fit, are they worth grabbing ?? his willing to give em to me for pretty cheap (of coarse im going to get them ultrasonicaly cleaned and flow tested before install plus new o-rings)

A true friend wouldn't do that to one of his mates

So even though they are listed as "cleaned and flow tested" it's best to get them sent out locally and cleaned again

Herd the new deatschwerks rb26dett injectors are good too

Even just tested. If they are ok, don't clean them unless you want too.

Its much easier doing that than pulling an engine out to replace a ring land.

Indy blue and whites are rubbish to tune with. I really don't think people know just how good the latest ev14 style injectors are. I wouldn't consider anything else if your looking at 1000's or above.

yeah its funny we all used to used them now i hate them... :P

Yeah there is a bulletin floating around from bosch saying the injector filters should not be used in E85 applications unless they are constantly monitored.

We find only the cars which sit for long periods between race events get congealing but it depends on setup, those with stupid over the top fuel systems (and super hot running engines like the real late model stuff) seem to suffer the worst as the extra heat in the fuel makes things worse.

The 2000's are still fine. You just need to look after them.

We have one car that is maxing them out with 130 PSI fuel pressure............ We are just going to fit another 2 injectors and keep tuning.

How ever we are looking at alternatives at the moment. Preferably something about the 3000cc mark.

The 2000's are pretty hard to beat at the moment.

I see you have joined the dark side Mike lol..

hahahah yeh i think he has alex, i dont wanna give inn, dos anyone know what kind of gains il get outta e85 on gtss twins??? lol i dont think its worth my while. making 320rwkw on 17-18psi now and going back up for some touch up so may get 330kw if im lucky. . im not power hungry, just very curious. lol

Has anyone found any difference using a wider spray pattern injector with e85?

Cheers

I've always wanted to tried the evox ev14 injectors as they are dual spray, only problem is they are only around the 550cc mark. You can get whatever spray angles you want if you have a good contact at Bosch motorsport. But like some of the coils I've priced you will pay through the ass.

I've made over 350rwkw, on multiple xr6t's, on the Bosch 968 440cc injectors on 98oct fuel but both alpha and delta angles for that head are perfect. That was on a fairly conservative dd dyno. That's a bsfc of around 0.4 which is off the chart compared to most engines!

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
