Thread: Injector problem

Hey Rico that sounds pretty cool... U ever do that? How would u rig up the carb cleaner to be pressurized? Perhaps use a bigger vacuum tube from a parts place & rig it up good on the carb cleaner nozzle & then on the injector port? How'd u do it? Did it work well in terms of cleaning the waxy sh*t out that builds up??? Wat about a good 12V source for all this??? Another question... Do GTP injectors actually "spray" out in cone shaped mists or is it more like a stream/ jet that's supposed to shoot out if everything's working normally? I had them flowbench tested last summer * they didn't seem to "spray" but the f*ckin guy said "No that's normal they don't always actually "spray" out like u see on the web vids"... Hm... ???

To clean the injectors I use silicone tubing from work and Zip ties. It takes three different tubing sizes to go from the red tube that comes with the carb cleaner up to the inlet of the injector.

For power I have a variable DC power supply (rated 0 to 30V @ 5 Amp) but you can use a car battery or any other 12 V source.

Hold the nozzle on the can until it builds up pressure and pulse the power to the coil on the injector. I usually do about 20 squirts and then one long blast for about 20 seconds. You can also back-flush the injectors in the same manner.

The injectors have 4 pin holes where the fuel comes out. Each port interacts with the others to create cone shaped spray. This helps with atomization. The size and shape of the cone may vary depending on the application. This is necessary for performance and efficiency.

Sweet, thanks. I already started toying with the whole setup by the time I got the responses . I just initially wanted to make the injectors click & open & close out of the car just to see it work at the very beginning. I have a spare set of injectors & was bored. & to other dude... I made the comment to Rico more so to ask about the setup & while I was at it I figured wtf might as well ask about the spray pattern that was bothering me. Oh, no! :O Lol...
