Where do you get your injectors?

[BuffaloBass]

Freshening up the powertrain at 280K. 2 of the injectors are new; darn if I can tell which.

No one around seems to "clean and refurbish" injectors. Where do you all get you injectors from? Prices are all over the place form $50 for 6 to $90 a pop.
I would VERY MUCH prefer to run a small Holley 4 barrel but....fabricating a single 4 barrel dual plane intake for a 5VZ is a bit beyond my fab stills.

NEVERMIND! says rosannadana - dana.

Found a place here in Buffalo NY that specializes in refurbing injectors.

FYI: Fuel Injector Services, Grand Island NY.

MotorWest Performance offers a cleaning and flow testing service based in CA. They also sell a Denso replacement set of 6 for about $55-$60/ injector. I had the time to pull the injectors, send them out and the turn around was prompt. Cost me about $150 to refurbish all 6. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again the next time I need them. There are other options out there, this just worked well for me.

Glad you found a place. I also have a local place who used to run a shop but now does it out of his garage. Does a full refurb and flow testing and matching.

I use RC Fuel Injection here in Southern California.

If you have the time, cleaning/reconditioning the stock injectors is the safest bet.

MotorWest when it's down up on stands for T/B to Gas Cap fuel parts, turn around a non issue. February.

+1 for MotorWest if that place doesn't work out for you

Another vote for Motorwest Performance. We installed Motorwest injectors in this video.

I pulled a set of OEM injectors from a salvage yard and sent them off to Witch Hunter Performance to be cleaned and refurbished. When they were returned to me, I swapped them out with the injectors in my truck. Minimized down time that way.

Another +1 for MotorWest Performance; just installed 6 new injectors this week. They sent the injectors with fresh rings and isolators, and even included some lube to install them with.

RC injectors- They were a bit slow for me though...took 3-4 full days from receiving the injectors to shipping them out. Otherwise, their service was fine...

motorwest. they have done 2 sets for me and willl be doing a 3rd this summer

I'm still runing the stock injectors with about 233k miles now, they've never been "refurbished". I'm assuming most guys are sending theirs out to be serviced due to a problem they are having but is anyone sending theirs out just to be freshened up?

If so, after how many miles and did it make any difference in performance, MPG or otherwise?

Thanks

This is highly dependent on usage patterns, etc. If the truck got parked for a while, that will make flow issues much more likely.

I had to do the injectors on my Alltrac just because it gets parked for months at a time fairly regularly...

Another plug for Motorwest Performance. Received the rebuilt injectors with new screens, o-rings, etc in 5 business days. They included the old parts in a separate bag to show you what they replaced, was impressed. They will get my business again when I complete this job on another truck this summer.

Side note- Would behoove anyone to order 6 new injector female connectors when completing this job. 4 out of 6 of the clips broke on the connectors when we depressed them.
Part #90980-11153

That's a good point. I've had similar issues on other engines with similar/same connectors/age. Those are held down with zip ties, which isn't the best solution...
