E39 Fuel Injector servicing, good option?

[Gabe79 410]

Looks like it's a lot cheaper to get injectors serviced locally than buying them from the US.

Is that even a valid thing? Or should I just suck it up and buy from FCP Euro? Replace all six is my inclination.

Any opinions on http://www.injectortech.co.nz/ or http://www.nzefi.com/fuel-injector-servicing/ ?

Had InjectorTech do the six injectors on my S54; all done quickly with no hassle.

Heard much good about injectortech. They will replace all the o-rings and pintle caps and make sure the spray pattern etc is all correct. They are totally a serviceable item, no need to throw the old ones away.

I saw some refurbished ones from FCP euro which cost a bit more than getting mine refurbished. But then I never have to buy injectors again... but then it’s a lot cheaper to get them done local after shipping. Everything else in the car seems to be original, except for the bad lowering job... choice choices.

You will get rid of the car well before the injectors are due to be serviced again, I'd say ?

Where i used to work about 10 yrs ago, we had a fuel injector service machine & ultra sonic bath.

At the time we charged $40 per injector which entailed:

Running them through the machine to flush/check operation, & compare each for flow rate, spray pattern, leak down. Then strip filter baskets, pintel caps & seals & run in ultra sonic bath.

New baskets, seals, pintel caps then rerun through the machine to recheck & compare for even pattern & flow rate.

Very rarely did we have to bin any.

I miss having access to that machine now.

That's pretty much the setup InjectorTech lists here: http://www.injectortech.co.nz/injector-services.htm
