    Default Injector Job

    FOr a 16 year old vn ss would you recommend running a cleaning product through to clean injectors or get them done properly.
    Properly done it cost's $400 bucks.. Does anyone think its worth it?
    Note that it probably hasnt been done in 16 years either..

    That $400 would be for an injector flush - they usually flush the entire fuel system (injectors, rails, lines).
    My mechanic did mine about a year ago for $200.

    new ones are cheap as hell, unless you find a better price than $400 id say to just buy new ones

    i would maybe use the injectors from a VT if you decide on new injectors. They spray better but the milage from your first tank will be ugly. Then it learns it all and she will run better than ever.

    If you use a cleaner, go the Holden top end cleaner. $15-$20 from your parts shop. One of the best on the market. The Subaru cleaner is very good too but is used differently.

    Tip a can of the Holden top cleaner into 38lts of fuel. (about half a tank). Then put some fuel in straight away to wash it from the filler pipe etc.

    Or spend the dollars on a propper injector clean from an EFI service joint.
    All options will get a good result (some better than others) than running it as it is now
