Guys,

i have bought autool injector cleaner.

would you use carb cleaner to ultrasonic cleaning as I think water is risky

how often will you change the fluid inside of the machine/ fuel injector cleaner?

would flow of 10% difference be maximum limit for differences between injectors?


If the injector doesn’t leak under machine test then can one assume it won’t leak inside engine?
finally, mine is top feed. Would basket and oring fit almost most top feed injectors?

Neither. You must use a suitable solvent. Carb cleaner is too volatile & will evaporate out of the bath before you can even use it.. There are specific products for use in ultrasonic cleaners for fuel injectors.

Every time I used it.

Depends. Do you care about blowing the motor up? 2% would be more the sort of area you'd want.

Maybe. Depends on where the leak is. The top and bottom sealing points don't transfer from the machine to the manifold and fuel rail. Only the injector (& its o-rings) does. But if it doesn't drip through the injector, then at least that is good.

Nope. Many different sizes.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
