Recent thread on mail order fuel injector service??

[IdahoDoug]

Cannot find this thread to save my life. Doesn't come up with searches on injector, fuel injector, etc. Someone posted a site that does complete service for the injectors and the site had pictures of the post service testing, etc. I'm thinking about doing this while my family is out of town but cannot find it. Anyone?

Also, has anyone pulled their injectors? Wondering what all HAS to come off as the FSM is not clear on this point.

Doug, I think this is the thread you were looking for. Unfortunately the pics are gone from the old mud forum.

Doug I beleive you basically need to get the upper half of the intake plenum off. Once that is done you can remove the fuel rail and the injectors. There is a site around somewhere descibing this process that was done for a SC ping problem. Sorry I casn't remember where I saw it.

George has it wonderfully described for all.

That's the one.

I didn't follow the previous thread, but here is another one. People from www.pirate4x4.com are happy with their service.

Here's a response I got from the owner of cruzinperformance.com regarding cleaning injectors and his thought on fuel conditioners. Sounds like a nice fella.

<snip>

Thanks for the compliments (on his site). I like people to understand what they are paying
for and with the internet, the best way I found to do that was to put
together a step by step pictorial. It isn't "all encompassing" for all
injectors however it does at least give a basic description of what the
processes are.

Actually, if your injectors ('96 FZJ80) are the standard "top feed" style like what is
pictured on the website, the cost is only $12 per injector for flow testing
and cleaning plus whatever the actual return shipping cost is. This
servicing includes replacing the o-rings, pintle caps and inlet screens. A
copy of the flow test data is also emailed to each customer after the
injectors have been serviced.
Injectors with "hose ends" (such as what are used on Jaguars, some Porsches,
VW's etc) add to the cost because the hoses need to be replaced during the
servicing of the injectors.

As for "fuel system conditioners", I have a "love/hate" relationship with
most of them. They do a good job of cleaning the fuel system however
generally what happens is that they clean not only the injectors, but also
the fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel lines and the fuel rail. The debris that is
dislodged ends up in the inlet screens of the injectors and plugs them up.
The end result is that they bring me lots of work so that is the "love" part
however I "hate" what they do to the fuel systems.
The only "additive" I will ever use in my own vehicles is a can of "dry gas"
once a year to aid in the removal of any moisture that accumulates in the
system. I also use Stabil in any of my vehicles that are stored for lengthy
periods of time to help keep the fuel from becoming varnish in the system.

Thanks for inquiring about my services. Let me know if you have more
questions or need additional information.

injector flow rate

Does anybody know what the stock 1fz injector flow rate is? Just curious...

[IdahoDoug]

Excellent, thanks! That's just what I was looking for and more. Juan's write up is excellent.

Scott

~305 cc/min.

this can vary from anywhere around 295 and up to 310. One thing that the RC Eng did was balance the flow rate among the 6 injectors so they were all within +/- 2 cc/min

Mine were badly clogged and two of the 6 only drizzled so when I got them back all balanced and spraying fine mist with the blower it seemed to make a huge difference.

Actually this is George's writeup, I was the beneficiary of his expertise.

So, between these two companies, who would you go for?
http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html or http://www.rceng.com/prices.htm ???
I guess Cruzin Performance because they're cheaper and they do the same job anyway? Anybody tried them out yet?

 

[RavenTai]

I would like to know the answer to that as well. I have looked at both sites seams like they use similar methods. (ultrasound bath wile pulsing the injector)

Slee uses RC engineering despite the higher price; they seam to have a good reputation elsewhere also.

A few have used cruzinperformance and seam happy with them https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=30450

Cruzin Performance

I used his service and the job was done in a efficient and timely manor. You had better call to see what his schedule is, it books very fast. Ipaid extra for the next day USPS. Not much for a faster delivery time. Here is the web page for my individual injectors. Please ignore my address.

Jeremiah, I fixed the webpage link for you, so it doesn't show your address:

You can now edit your original posting and use my "fix" instead.

And thanks for posting that info! It seems that your injector looks very clean, and may not have really needed the cleaning after all. But I guess I'll have a different story, for my FZJ-80 here in the Philippines may have been experiencing less-clean gasoline for the last 10-years.

Thanks Drexx for the fix!
Yeah not really much change from the begining. A little history is that I used 3 bottles of Techron fi cleaner in almost back to back tanks about 4 months before I sent them out, I look for the cheapest gass ie Costco and only used regular 87 octane. Pretty clean compared to others. I also replaced the HG and the valve guide seals at the same time all in prep for the Blower that is due any day now. The backs of the intake valves had very little deposits as well as the areas that the injectors could reach with the spray. The area before the injectors were sludgy if that's a word. Back of the exhaust valves and the exhaust ports were plenty dirty, don't know why..Tops of the pistons had the usual black flakey crap. Cleaned the crap of all of the valves and ports gave me the cheapest P&P in history! 3 cans of break clean! and 2 small wire brushes...
