FS: 2.0 injectors, Green Top Options

[Rav914]

Switching to carbs! I bought a set of four 2.0 injectors from a fellow board member a few months ago. He says they have run about 1000 miles. I have about 20 minutes of use at idle on them. All four work great. Elbow hoses. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

$450 for the set.

remanufactured for $44 each, plus you can get $7 back for your core. Thats pretty good.

They don't list them for the application for good reason. We deal with the FI rebuilders and "rebuilt" is a real hazy term. More like cleaned and tested would be accurate.

The reason is that the "recleaners" won't pay what the core is worth. It costs us more to obtain them than they want to pay for them so we won't give them to them.

The machine that "rebuilds" them cost about $8000 a few years ago. The rebuilding process is to remove the inlet microscreen, media blast the barrel, and place them on the machine. The machine has connectors to trigger the solenoid and they pump a cleaning solution thru the injector (used to be 24 hours). After that, they pump fluid through them into a calibrated cylinder to test for "in spec" flow rates and spray pattern. If good, they paint them, replace the microscreen and pintle cap and put 'em in a box.

Supposedly, Python Industries in Stanton, CA was the only one who had the Bosch molds to cast the plastic tops. They could take the injector apart and replace the tops. Getting it to seal is a major problem.

One other thing ... if you send a "rebuilder" the injectors and they leak around the top to the barrel, or the solenoid is bad, the injector is bad. So you send 8 and hope to get 4 good ones. Kinda like rolling dice as you can crap out.

I had listed a couple of rebuilders some time ago (One in Long Beach,CA - GB Remanufacturing, One is Mesa, AZ - Aus Jus Injection) that would "rebuild" your injectors for about $25 - $32 each. There are others.

There is your "rebuilt" story vs new. The new ones, due to their rarity, are worth the money. Your old ones have lasted 35+ years or so.

And, the original German FI hose is sold by the inch. I have tried to make my own elbows from the hose and haven't figured a way to pre-form the bend and have it stay. Using regular hose, it has to be a little longer to avoid crimping when making the bend from the rail to the injector.
