Redline for it! Very Happy

BTW, Prestone have one too! Working just as good as the Redline!

Question: If you gonna use the "ole school method" (i.e. Barr's! Very Happy

), is it possible to get residue on your plugs? Should you change / clean the plugs soon after?

after any kind of injector/carb clean it is good idea to clean/change plugs and oil and filter too

I dont mean to hijack this thread but while we're on the subject is there anywhere in T&T where you can check the spray pattern for your injectors ?

thats right larafan, woth that u only cleaning b4 and after the firing part of the injector
and inorder to prevent any gas leak you should always replace the rubber seals on the injector with new ones
you don't want a gas leak now would you, actually this is a good preventative idea, i always have brand new nissan rubber seals for my 4 injectors in the event of Wink

whats so wrong with the gunk injector cleaner from pricesmart ?
any injector cleaner, the better ones are the consistency of a light oil like the one Lucus oil produces
did anyone ever notice that an engine flush has the same ingredients or somewhat same ingredients as an fuel injector cleaner

please note I'm not saying put an engine flush in your gas tank

you could build a kit yourself. just you need someone to weld aluminum and a air compressor. make a canister to fill the liquid and the fittings to connect to the fuel rail Wink

gloves, carb choke, detach fuel rail...pull out each injector... use battery with wires to open the injector (check for +/-) and attach straw from can.....spray that mofo till it clean and the jets are sprayin full...then soak.

i do this for piece of mind...dont really trust those cleaners to fully clean out.

wat bout using bars? d mechanic spray bars down my engine throat n everytime i running up d highway is big white smoke any time i press out

Anil_Sooknanan · Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 4:55 pm Post subject:

bars and those other crap are not made for fuel injected cars. you need stuff that is safe for your sensors especially the O2

thread hijack- How are the injectors modified? I uncertainly recall reading about removing the 'nozzle' to the front of it thereby making your 400+cc injectors into 600+ However the results of this varies in cc rating by <20% among the modified injectors. Shocked

i just use bar's throttle body/injector cleaner. 20 dollars, buy 2 if it's extremely dirty

dismantle intake pipe, spray directly into the throttle body/butterfly valve until the can is done

Before and after shots of some injectors from a 2ZZ-GE that we cleaned Smile

Another Hijack, how often should your injectors be cleaned or serviced?

Anil_Sooknanan · Posted: Sun May 10, 2009 9:37 am Post subject:

it's all about how you find the car performing , but i'll say 6 - 9 months
