Paint for injectors

Recommended Posts

Refurbing some injectors - any suggestions for a good paint to use on the bodies? Some has flaked off.

 

Thanks

I just used hammerite on mine. It's a good all rounder and cheap enough. I'm sure it'll last 10 years plus which is good enough for me as I'll likely have to replace them by then anyway. I DIY ultrasonically cleaned them but without a flow test I'm not sure how effective it was

Yeah ive also put them in the ultrasonic cleaner for about 40 mins each. I've just got an injector pulse unit and I'll be making up something to blast them with carb cleaner as they're being pulsed. That'll be good enough for me.

I did mine using step down tubing down to carb cleaner tube and it worked great. Make sure to back flow test. And Eastwood chassis Black is an excellent choice as a painter it works great!

I was going to research new injectors.. surely there are revised or updated items that offer better atomization and performance that will fit the VR? - these are at the end of the day 25 - 30 year old injectors.

 

I know Kev was running Mazda RX8 items, but he had standalone management and big HP so I don't think they will couple up well with the stock ECU..

 

Anyone bought new/revised injectors?

I’ll do a search but ya I bought new ones for the wife’s VR and they do sell performance ones as well. Good quality! I carb spray/pulsed all 6 on my 180K VR and have no issues at all!
