Injector Servicing - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

So, has anybody ever had their injectors cleaned by a shop?

Dean, I know that you were going to have yours checked. Do you know what the cost is to clean injectors?

I am assuming I could take an old set of injectors, have them cleaned, and use new o-rings on reassembly, and basically have them back to a like-new condition. Is it worth it?

RC Engineering does it.

Did you get it Scotty?

ScottyS · 2009-02-08, 07:15 PM

Nope, this is for my extra set of Legacy Turbo injectors.

C&C will test for $11, full service for $29 each.

From Dave C.:
Test only is 11, complete overhaul is 29. Test will really determine what we recommend, rarely (unless coil failure) are they not recovered to design flowrate. Maintenance with any injector depends on use and the fuel additives for cleaning. It is really a guess until we find out what has happened to the current injectors.

Cool.

Dean · 2009-02-09, 11:16 AM

Oh, and I think he said to leave them in the manifold/rails if you can/want...

ScottyS · 2009-02-10, 09:51 AM

Ah, mine would have to come out anyway.

I might wait until I get some 440 JDM's from a 20G.
