Anyone know anybody that does good injector cleaning/balancing? I know of RC Engineering but am wondering if anyone knows anyone else. RC Quoted ~$28.50 per injector. TIA 😃 ---

whats the process for cleaning/balancing an injector? Is it so complicated that no one locally does it? Or is it not worth the time to do it yourself ---

I can get them cleaned and flow tested for 15/injector. You get new o-rings installed on them before they’re returned. Turnaround time is about a week by the time they’re shipped out and shipped back. ---

You do realize he said CLEAN & BALANCE, all these places for $12 & $15 are only ultra sonic clean and flow test. Not balancing the injectors. For actual balancing RC is a great deal and the work is top notch ---

In addition to thier place being dirt cheap as far as cost goes, you’re getting new o-rings, insulators, screens and pintle caps. ALL of that plus the flow balance and cleaning for $12 an injector. You’ll get a sheet like the following… [http://www.rubicant5x.com/injector\_data.htm](http://www.rubicant5x.com/injector_data.htm) ---

whats so important about the balance? As long as your injectors flow approx the same, you should be fine right? ---

> [@Jack](#): > > whats so important about the balance? As long as your injectors flow approx the same, you should be fine right? Balance is important you wouldn’t want to run a 440cc 450cc 458cc 459cc injector all in the same engine because one cylinder will always have a bit too much fuel and one will always have not enough. An issue like this will not turn up on a wide band because 1 rich and 1 lean cylinder equal out in a single exhaust pipe. Very few factory and cheaper aftermarket injectors flow exactly the same or within 1%. Take Ford SVO injectors for example, regular 30 lb.'ers cost $230, flow matched 30 lb SVOs are $360 for a set. Balanced injectors become very important when you start making some serious HP ---

:word: Which is another reason I wonder about some people when they sell used injectors. By the time you buy them and do a PROPER clean/flow/balance, it would have cost less just to get new injectors. balancing basically “matches” the set again (you will notice that most manufacturers sell “matched” sets of injectors) and ensures equal flow. ---

I thought the “flow” would then enable you to match your own injectors. But the fact that they can make them flow similarly and make a balanced set, would be better than trying to “balance” your own set. I was aware of the fluctuating flow numbers, but I didn’t know matching flow numbers was called balancing.
