Injectors....****Do You Want Yours Cleaned****

[Baz666]

ok this is what i`m going to do...

today i`m having my engine retuned (not ticking over nice at the mo) after that i`m going to put in the injectors i`v just had cheaplly cleaned and once my ones are out of he car i`ll send you them ones instead for a proper job, once there back i`m going to use them as that will give me time to see if theres a real difference between the 2 sets of injectors, and then i can put the other set up for sale.

[AlpineAde]

All they appear to have done is cleaned your injectors with an ultrasonic bath and used a multimeter to measure the resistance across the terminals. Did they fit new filters, o-rings, BMW pintle caps or spacing washers?

Exactly. Without a proper service, cleaning is only half the job done.

Would anybody like to test the water...?

[dazleeds]

i have a full set of 325 injectors sat here if anyone needs them

saves your car being off the road

You were going to get mine today, until my mates Saab blew its turbo. Now I have to lend him the touring for a week so I can't send them to you until next monday.

[Baz666]

I will sort mine out as soon as this bloody rain stops....it rains when i`m at home and stops when i go to work

Well, my injectors are currently in the capable hands of Mr. Injectortune, so as soon as they come back to me I'll find out how much of a difference they make. They can't be any worse than the state I sent them in, as they were absolutely filthy.

Could someone clever with spanners and a camera post up a guide to removing injectors? Failing that, talk me through it and I'll do a guide and then we can all make merry getting our injectors sorted out. I know my touring won't be going anywhere until all this snow buggers off....

It's an easy job mate.
Disconnect the battery, then remove the the inlet manifold and you'll find the fuel rail on the underside. Remove the fuel rail and detach each injectors electrical connector and pull (carefully) each injector out.
I've changed the fuel tank as mine was buggered (It's in now Spadge, thanks again) and changed the blue sensor while it's in bits.

Mr injectortune once christmas is out the way i'll get my injectors in the post to you (6 pot M30).

[Morat]

Ah, you see you've lost me at "Remove inlet manifold"!

[N00b]

Ah, you see you've lost me at "Remove inlet manifold"!

The big, 6 branch semi circular silver thing on the top of the engine. Have a look around it and you'll see which bolts keep it attached. Remove it and there'll be a long black plastic rail that sits on top of all the injectors.
If you own a socket set you can do this mate.

[Baz666]

My engine is still striped down at the mo, hoping to get it back together in the next couple of days, the snow and cold have put me off from going out side to bloody cold.

Oh no they're not!

They should be with you in a day or two. I've cleaned the filth off for you though it's the grime you cannot see that slowly robs performance.

Ho ho ho

Good work matey, and thanks for the double quick turnaround.....especially at this time of year. I used to work for a guy who'd worked in filters for years, so I already knew that something can look clean but be blocked to hell on a microscopic level. At least the injectors I sent you were blocked on a "bloody obvious" level, lol.
Thanks again,
David.

Just to let you all know, I sent my injectors away (to James) out of my m50 2.5 and I have to say i'm over the moon with the results!!! I can't vouch for him enough. It was like my injectors were his sole priority in life, I think I even recieved an email past nine o'clock at night to let me know about them. Ive just put them back in and the difference is unbelievable. More power especially low down, it seems way more punchy, and somehow smoother.
Thanks for a top service!!

[Brianmoooore]

To go back to the second post in this thread!

If the injectors are untouched since the car was built, then they are almost certainly long overdue for a recon.
As with most things on an E30, much more gains per £ are to be had by getting the thing running as BMW intended, than by fitting aftermarket 'tuning' parts!

[HairyScreech]

only just seen this, your only a few miles from me, between two of us we have 4 sets of e30 injectors that could do with doing and maybe a set for the turbo ka, ill check it out and get back to you in the new year.

out of interest as im local is it possible to drop them off and wait, or dose the process take too long?

You're welcome - thank you for your support .

Roughly 2 hours though as I don't have a printer (for the report) in my workshop I prefer drop off/collections to take place over consecutive days. As I can clean several sets at once I am able to service your injectors in one day.

Simply send me an email though my site when you are ready to drop them off.

Why not nip down to Maplin and get yourself an ultrasonic cleaner in the New Year sales. Mine only cost around £30 just before Christmas, and works pretty effectively.

Then you can ultrasonically clean your injectors yourself for a fraction of the cost of taking them to a specialist.

Because a £30 ultrasonic bath designed to clean dust from electronic components and toffee from Granny's dentures won't shift 25 year old varnish stuck to E30 fuel injectors. I use a 600W cleaner for injectors and a 1Kw cleaner for carburettors/heads etc.

Nor will it flow/spray test the injectors, fit new service parts, provide a before/after test report, warranty its work, diagnose problems or post in this thread when it really should be working.

Thanks for your suggestion though.

Fairy muff - no offence intended.

[bobbin1982]

I only changed my dodgy fuel pump with a good second.. (cheers spadge)
and i was amazed with that...!
Im gonna have my injectors done at some point soon.. so hoping they will bring my stallion back to life even more
I dont think i will be able to get this done in offer time though unforunatly for me.
M.O.T first though
Hope it will pass...

I gave my injectors to James to service for me just before Christmas. Fitted them today and am very pleased with the results. Much more responsive and smooth. 60 odd quid well spent!

Hi Andy.

I'm happy to keep my offer open for you. Just send me an email when you are ready.

Received my injectors back this morning which, when you consider I didn't post them until the 23rd, is bloody good service in my opinion.
Sadly, I can't get them back into the car until next week.....but I don't mind admitting I'm a little excited to see the difference (mainly on my wallet, lol).

Thanks again James. As soon as I've got them fitted and running I'll leave appropriate feedback.

[asmith88]

what did the report show? much difference?

[N00b]

what did the report show? much difference?

Before:-
Injector 1=138 cc/min
Injector 2=141 cc/min
Injector 3=135 cc/min
Injector 4=138 cc/min
Injector 5=141 cc/min
Injector 6=138 cc/min

After:-
All 6 injectors now running at 150 cc/min.

Spray patterns were fair with 2 "fair/good" comments, whereas now they all score "Good".

Just a bit gutted I can't get them in the car right now .

Can anyone send me the paypal and postal address for injectortune so I can pay before the VAT changes at midnight

Thanks

Adam.

Adam.

If you contact James through his website, he'll send you the payment details. Given that he clearly doesn't respect the holidays and that he emailed me at 3am to say thanks for my payment, I'd guess that if you do this now you'll get a reply back today.

BTW, if you miss the VAT deadline you'll only be £1.29 out of pocket.....so I wouldn't worry too much mate.

[500]

Cheers, I had already done that, he has since called and I have paid, just need to send the money for the injectors once I get Town325i's paypal address

£1.29 is £1.29, you save your pennies......... ;)

[N00b]

Got my injectors fitted and the car does feel a little more lively and responsive. James sends back the old parts he's replaced and they were completely buggered it has to be said.
It'll be a while before I can see what difference this has made to the fuel economy, but already I'm pleased with the results.

[mrcool]

Looks worth doing when I get a chance to take them off. I presume you keep all the filters, o-rings etc required for E30 injectors in stock?
