Injector cleaning

[blkgsr]

looking for companies that can clean and service some injectors.

I know of NW Fuel in langley and i think precision in richmond.

cmcautoservice.com in PoCo has NW's old machine usually 25-30/injector depending on how many times they get cycled through the cleaner

sweet thanks, a lot closer than NW

would the machine still do the same job? Have you used these guys in the past?

What kind of injectors? Not the high pressure DI stuff right?

coming out of my 4runner

now is this "cleaning" the same as being rebuilt?

I'm in a toss up of having my current ones cleaned or buying OEM rebulit ones from the states

also i know i have one that is failing and giving me bad misfire....the cleaning isn't going to take care of a bad injector especially if its the electronic component of the injector

ended up ordering a set of rebuilt OEM injectors from these guys https://www.fiveomotorsport.com/

seemed like the best option getting OEM rebuilt units vs new ones, easy shipping to a friend in the states, no core charge etc

Well depends on what's your definition of rebuilt? There are certain things that can be replaced, the o ring around the injectors etc. But the valve itself is encased in plastic. Cleaning just runs the injectors though a washing machine with a conveyor belt much looks like an industrial dish cleaner. It forces solvent in and out of the valve to "clean"

For my application BMW i6 or various vintages, a V8 and a V10.. the cost of a "rebuilt" one from 5-0 is only 10% difference from a new one from other stores. I just stick with a new set.

Shop around and it helps you know the model you are looking for.

I had a failed injector on my E30 325i.

I had to shop around, but discovered (for my application anyway) that the cost to replace them with a rebuilt set cost as much as a cleaning, so I ended up getting a new rebuilt set to take out any guesswork out of the entire equation. Most local shops told me to drop dead because they weren't interested in doing a cleaning for only 6 injectors and plus, I couldn't afford the downtime of 2 weeks.

I went to NW Fuel because they were close to me.

They replaced the seal/gaskets and strainers/filter baskets on my injectors. Turnaround time was 2 business days, they also provided a before/after flow test report.

Once they are all done, they vacuum pack the injectors to protect them. It was roughly $30/injector.
