3800 Mini-Mod Day... INJECTOR CLEANING

[DaytonaPaceCar]

Going to host a mini-mod day here at Casper's and flow/clean/balance injectors. The injectors must be removed from the vehicle to be tested. I can fit probably about 5 cars in the shop at a time. Takes about 15 minutes to get the injectors out and about 15 minutes for a full cleaning/flowing/testing/etc. I have gotten several PM's about this so we might as well make it a date. If I remember correctly, all you need to bring is a 10mm & 13mm socket and ratchet. You are all welcome to do more mods but they will have to be mini-mods since we will have to juggle cars around all day. I was thinking from maybe 10:30 AM till around dinner time then we could all go grab some food. Open to suggestions!

Sounds good to me. Maybe I'll have my shifter by then to install it.

I voted for the 21st.

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

I'll probably go, but just to hang out. Thanks to Justin my injectors are already squeaky clean.

 

[imported_GraFFix]

Price will be $45 (normally $85) per set of injectors for cleaning/flowing/balancing/testing injectors. Like I said, plan on about an housr worth of work to get them out, put them on the bench, and get them back in. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Whatever date you decide, I will be there to help with the removal/ install of injectors if you guys need it.

Living only a mile away, I would hope I'd be there!

 

[gtphale]

I'll be there if I have to work in the morning i'll be there around 4 just intime for beer and food.

 

[RareGMFan]

Ummm...does this include pre '97s?

 

[EmersonHart13]

See everyone there...

I might be able to be there, for the hell of it. Not neccessarily to do any mods. Good times will be had. Besides, I need to get out of the area here! The city sounds good!!

Justin,

I just did my injectors with GM top end cleaner and air compressor throught he frt nipple on the fuel rail.

How much better is this cleaning and how do you check for flow balencing and all the other sutff you were talking about?

 

[smokngtp]

I'll be there cause my injectors need cleaned pretty bad, i voted for the 21st. i'll still be there no matter what the date ends up being, but i figure the sooner the better. thanks for doing this by the way.

 

[cacicgtp7]

I voted! Since this is a mini-mod day, is there a possibility that someone could help me install 3200 fogs? It looks like i'll be buying a set, and could use some help from someone that has already done the mod and knows how to modify the brackets...

 

[BLK00GTP]

GM Top Cleaner? What does that do? Clean the intake mani etc. How often is it recommended to clean and balance the injectors? Sorry ive just never heard of do this. I didnt think the injectors could get plugged up that much.

GM Top engine cleaner pushes the cleaner through the injector, along with all the other "stuff" crammed into the injector filter. The bench we use pulses the injectors at different pulsewidths while they sit in an ultrasonic bath of cleaning solvent effectively backflushing the injectors. This is the flowbench we use ASNU INJECTOR FLOW BENCH .. It works very weill and you will be able to see your injectors flow at different pulse widths while comparing how much calibration fluid they flow. The calibration fluid has the specific gravity of gasoline without the smell and flamibility.

I will also replace injector o-rings as necessary.

Hope this answers your question. Anything else??

Oh yea...

Ummm...does this include pre '97s? 

This includes all fuel injectors... I can even do TBI stuff

Hey if Justin is offering the O-rings this is a good deal. Just for shits and gigles, call a dealership parts department and ask how much a set of O-rings costs. I ended up getting a universal set, because the listing for the GTP made my jaw drop when I saw the price.
