well uh, can you take like... $5 per injector from r3v'ers to clean our injectors and provide flow values?

that would be awesome but i doubt hed wanna deal with all that. id even give 10 per injector since thats still cheaper than any of the places ive looked at. thanks for the tips though guys. cant wait to get this motor all fresh

There are a couple companies on ebay that do it too. About 80 or so for a set of 6. Cheaper than the two places above, and using the same ASNU equipment.

so wolfgang do you notice a huge difference in spray pattern before and after cleaning?

I had a set of 19lb'ers that I didn't have time to send off so I cleaned em my self, soaked them in a 50/50 mixture of seafoam for two days then gently sprayed them out with compressed air while using a 9v battery and a set of aligator clamp leads to hold the injector open. I alternated between carb cleaner then the seafoam mix blowing that through the injecter boths way gently, If you fill up the injector body with the cleaner fluid and spray that out you can sort of see the spray pattern and if it is spattering or not, then once they were in the car I ran a whole can of seafoam in the gas tank, I have no basis for a real comparsion but it runs alot better now than with the old smaller injectors that's for sure.

You dont want to soak injectors in any type of solvent or cleaner.
