Best way to clean injectors....literally (Redex need not apply) - jimxms - 11-04-2019

It seems that the injectors for my supercharger were placed in a rather dirty plastic zip bag Sad

I've inspected a few of them and they seem to have a gritty substance on the surface so there's no way I'm going to install them without making sure they are 100% clean first.

What would be the best way to clean them up? Could I shoot some MAF cleaner through them for example? I want to make sure that they aren't clogged up with sh** while also giving them a bit of an overhaul before installing them.

ultrasonic baths are normally good for cleaning them up if you have access to one?

Well i think they need blasting with something. I'm mostly worried that grit has got inside the injectors and I certainly don't want to install them, fire up the car and find that one is blocked or sprays a load of sand into my engine.

stavs way looks like a good way of doing it, if you can find somewhere that wont charge too much to do it

Just looked on wiki and it says that jewelers use them...but I doubt they would be willing to let me stick injectors in their ones?

Who else could possibly have one?
