Brian , Buy bosch motorsport injectors , they already come cleaned and balanced as new , If your old injecotrs do not respond to a good tank full of injector cleaner , i would ditch them, as at current prices they are not worth cleaning.

Hey A Wayne : Where are you buying your injectors?

If I recall correctly, my injectors were around $600 for the set - I think???

I don't really know that I have an issue, just wanted to get them tested/cleaned and find out where I stand with them, then make a decision....

Looks like at most $150 to get them all cleaned/tested vs approx $600 to replace (unless I can find some better pricing)

I found some Siemens 72lb injectors at Marren for $59. That is a much better price than I paid originally, and makes it seem more worthwhile to just buy 6 of them.

Haven't decided yet. But by the time I ship the 6 injectors to Marren for testing, I'm out roughly $150-175, which is roughly equivalent to 3 new injectors...

Thoughts?

Brian ,

The bosch Motorsport injectors are 120 a pop , the price for the Siemens are correct , this is why i had thought it was a waste of time for you to have yours cleaned and checked....

I really liked RC engineering. They did a great job with my 820cc's

RC Engineering injectors are based off of a Lucas design and are not as robust as Siemes and certainly not as good as a Bosch injector. I have had issues with them and will not use them in any size for any reason.
