I'm after a part number for a set of B4 Injectors, all i know is that they are pink.

Would these fit ?

as i hasn't been running 100% for a couple of weeks since i noticed the fuel injector check engine light.

Get your VIN and goto subaru (they basically wont talk to you without the VIN). Find the part number and what they are (ie 550 top feed or whatever they are) and go from there

I don't like going to Subaru, they scare me. But yes, i will do that if no one knows the part number or exact details.

Where is B4TT the redbook/carsales/parts man when you need him?

Hey dude, did you consider getting them serviced? Might cost you $100 instead of over 300 each injector (yes that is what subaru charge) I had to replace one of mine that fagged out and I think even at trade I could only get it for 260 or something like that. BTW just noticed your post im here aha

I didn't know they could be serviced? I ran some injector cleaner through them, that did nothing.

S&J quoted $950 for low KM 05 STi ones fitted. They don't look that hard to replace but i don't want to fork my fuel system and make it start a fire.

yeah a service is definitely gonna be the cheapest option unless you can score a cheap second hand set. Dylan has the Subaru parts software so if you pm him he could give you the subaru part number

Cheers, yeah sounds good, i'll suss out cleaning prices. It's not like they're split or broken or anything, probably just a little clogged up.


It's not running really bad, probably only 170kw's not 180.

My Dad has an ultrasonic cleaning machine, shame hes not in Syd though. Walts def look at giving them a clean up, they replace the o-rings and baskets in them when they do it, providing the coils are fine in them(thats tested as part of the service) then they will work like new. Expect to pay between 20 and 25 per injector for a service.. well worth it P.S. Injector cleaning additive is pretty much useless, doesn't clean shit

See, if i had a 50cc Scooter, i could be without my injectors for a week while i send them to your Dad

Seems much better than a replacement, cost wise!

I mean the additive man.. not the physical take them out and put them on a flow bench and ultrasonically clean them cos that shit works well..... its the stuff you put in your fuel and hope for the best does 3 fifths of fork all

Whoops i quoted the wrong this, i know that cleaner in the fuel does shit all.

I meant to quote the 25 dollar per injector thing haha just emailed for a few quotes on ultrasonic cleaning then.

[B4TT]

cool. Good luck with it hehe

walts what makes you think you need new injectors? the light on the dash indicates that the ECU has detected a fault of some sort, doesn't mean injectors specifically. to read the codes you need an OBD2 cable and some software - i've got all that if you'd like to check it out sometime. if it does come down to removing injectors to replace or clean them, it's not super hard, but a bit fiddly. i've only done the drivers side so far but i think that's the worst.

It's alright Nath, i know my car.

Read the codes a while ago, it said "Fuel Injector Number 3" and i explained it to Sean at S&J (the master) and he said it's a common problem with the B4's and he said they need to be cleaned or replaced.

They come to you, but i don't think they take out the injectors, it's just like a flush.


Still waiting to hear back from the other blokes who actually do ultrasonic cleaning.

[natho]

no probs walts! i used to get them done at Mildrens/Rotary Automotive services. been thinking about getting mine done, but at this rate i might just get a single turbo conversion instead!

Ouch....
Thats a rip... youd expect to pay that if they were taking the injectors out and replacing them.
And not only do you want them ultrasonically cleaned but you want them to check the resistance in the coils (modern machines do it) and also do the whole range of tests like leak test, cold start and spray pattern check... not just a flow check
