Theres a look Eric’s face, 10 seconds before he exclaims that the injectors are different. It’s priceless. He started to smile when he realized it and just wanted to make sure.
Hey Mike. Hardcore roadkill fan. Hoping to be able to meet you someday, been watching since season 1 of Roadkill. Which I was still just a kid. I actually got an Automotive degree a few years ago because of your influence. I appreciate everything you’d done
Just remember the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys stay young and have fun with whatever you do if you can find a job that you enjoy and have fun everyday you'll never work a day in your life and also get paid to have fun
Hey guys me to I always wrenching with my dad in the yard got pics of me sitting on the fender of one of my dad's old cars as a small boy maybe 6 or 7 .then start building when I was 14 did my first car a ss 396 when I was 15 got it done when I was 18 .then the race cars came in lol .got married and the kids came and the CARS fell off I got back into it in 05 and me and my day got a 67 firebird rag top and we started on that it was our project and in 06 I lost my dad so I couldn't even look at it and sold it....but now iam getting ready to retire in 2 years so got a old vette a year ago and iam into that .and got a lift for the shop and getting set up to start at it hard .thinking about get a old shoe box nova and put it on the track put a nice stroker in it on the bottle and name it after my dad he always loved when we take the car to the track ...but I love the show and it keeps me pumped about get out in the shop
That was really good, especially the oops at the end. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who makes silly mistakes! Thanks for sharing and an extra big THANK YOU for not editing out the 'oops' part.
5:00 newburn saying see it wasn’t my fault for the shifter backwards 😂😂😂 your a legend and mike is a awesome bloke for doing just like I was taught for saying who cares who’s fault it was we just need to fix it and learn from it you don’t see that very often now days
What I really love about Finnegan's Garage is the unscripted and unedited conversation of the various subjects like injectors. I learned a lot too. In my career I worked with flow benches so I understood what was being tested. Thanks guys.
Thanks for leaving the 120/160 in the video... lot of channels would have found a way around it for sure! Now the question is, have you other engines with injectors you may want to check, seeing as you had a four/four mix?
This is a totally cool video that every EFI racer needs to see! BTW, the look on your face when Eric told you some of your injectors from that set were 120’s and some were 160’s was priceless.
This might not impress everybody but I noticed at 18:00 that the lettering on the logo above the bench was absolutely aligned with the crank and the dead-level of the bench top..
Great stuff with the not so surprising twist ending. Laughing at ourselves for being goofy is the best measure of character... ...and you guys are characters!
I've cleaned some injectors in the past with an ultrasonic cleaner. And then I hooked a plastic tube to the input end, filled the tube with seafoam, set my compressor to my fuel pressure, hooked a 9v battery to the terminals to open the injector and blew the seafoam through. Probably not ideal but for a backyard kinda guy like me I've never had an issue.
I didn't have an ultrsonic cleaner but I did a similar thing as you using Seafoam and a fuel pump instead of the compressor. Told me right away which ones were plugged or dead and got some cleaned up enough to get a street truck running. Like you say... backyard fix that works good enough for me.
Great episode! So much great info on the engine itself and especially the flow bench! So cool to see it in action, first time for me. Ideally, you want to go with bigger injectors once you get to about 90% duty cycle. Above that, the fuel doesn't atomize properly and won't burn as well. You can see it when Eric runs them fully open, it's just three streams, instead of a mist. You need that mist as fuel doesn't burn as a liquid, but a gas, or miniscule droplets.
I bought a injector flowtester with heated ultra sonic on alibaba for like 160$, AUtool CT160. Kept sticking open injectors on my supra. Seems to work well enough. Flows 4x 800CC injectors at like 35psi and you can vary the pulse width and 'rpm' independently with a whole bunch of different auto clean programs. The ultra sonic alone was worth it because I rebuild a few moto carbs every few months. Whole thing is basically a cubic foot, volume wise, so would be epic for something like drag week. Would highly recommend it or one like it if you mess with injectors at all.
Awesome is an understatement here...Best video I've ever seen about Injectors! Very educational, informative and with details. Well done! I've definitely increased my knowledge and awareness regarding injectors (working on Harley Davidson EFI n/a M8 V-Twins here). Thanks for making and sharing this video. Tom M., Hawthorne Ca.
Mike, enjoyed this video tremendously! I learned a lot about bench testing injectors. Thank you and Dave for doing this in a way we could see and understand it. Great!
just to clarify the ejectors where probably fine. the real lesson here is to read your injector size lmao and make sure your fuel system is clean before you use new injectors. bigger injectors run more rich then smaller ones lol imagine that.
You can spend more money and get 'flow matched' sets, where they basically test them like this before they sell them, and you get the results so that you know all your injectors are running at (eg) 165. ie, what they actually flow, not just what the manufacturer said.
I installed a brand new one Edelbrock pro Flo 4 with full 8 port injection and had 3 dead cylinders because of dirty injectors that were completely stuck. Man your heart sure sinks when your brand new $2500 EFI system runs your motor like chitty chitty bang bang. 9v battery, cleaner, and air compressor got it up and ripping. Golden information in this video.
I have a $400, 4 x injector tester unit that has helped me diagnose a few issues. I prefer working on a stuck or leaky injector before I have to pull a carb apart. 😁
I think it's awesome that you put the whole video up. Showing 2 different lb injectors. Just shows you need to check out to make sure your stuff is correct.
Sunday night over here, sit down to watch some TH-cam, Cleeter and Westen videos out, and yours pops up just as I sit down. Monday can be dealt with tomorrow haha
Lots of good information as always. I've dealt with a few junkyard LS engines and always seem to have injector issues. I got an inexpensive little device from Amazon that can pulse injectors individually, and have found that tool very valuable. Sometimes all it takes for one to go from not working to working is a few bangs on the workbench. I have made it part of the routine now to use that little box to check them before first fire.
When you discovered the issue with the 120/160 injectors ,not gonna lie, it made me feel a little bit better about some of the bone head mistakes I've made and beat myself up about LOL thanks! Great episode.
You bet the crap out of those motors Mike. Have been following your videos now since road kill day's. Can't wait to see the Chev back down the track. 💯😂 Aussie Fan 🤟🇦🇺😎
A close up camera with software to slow down the frame rate to view each injector coming out of the test bench would be awesome. That might tell if it's a "one hole" problem or up above the nozzle affecting all delivery holes. This machine is so awesome. So is this vid.
LOL.... We have all been there... I swear, That is the dumbest feeling, when you finally figure out, what is going on, only to realize, how much money has been spent, how much time has been spent.. ALLLLLL on mixed matched injectors... Especially if your buddies are watching in real time the discovery. I know the feeling... Which also kinda reminds me of installing a fuel pressure regulator in the system BACKWARDS... But, the gauge shows we got pressure...LOL
Great content...I have plenty to consider before going fast w/ aftermarket parts. Thank for making me and hundreds of others feel better about wasted $$$
52:25 latent heat of vaporisation, The fuel injection is taking heat out of the air charge below the rotors instead of above. just like a blow through carb. That's assuming you're spinning the blower the same and you're not just making more power with a lower driven but more efficient blower. Both could be true.
But running all the fuel through the blower is taking up space in the blower that you’d like to be oxygen. That’s not a good thing in a class with a size restricted blower. While cooling is good, stealing air is bad
@@Turbochargedtwelve The nice thing would be if some were above/level with the rotors, and the rest below. It would act as an intercooler without taking up space in the blower.
Also, the extra fuel could be doing a better job of lubricating the blower, making it more efficient. That said, I don't think this would make a big difference.
great info on injectors Finn.! A lot of this info is hidden behind closed doors but bigun was sure being transparent and open. this could be a hidden art!
Can’t believe you guys were in my back yard and I didn’t even know it!! Pete and Kevin used to fill my nitrous bottles when I first started going fast!
Aww man, your face when your man told you you had a mix of 120 and 160lbs injectors, 😂😂😂💯roadkill in full effect, you can take the man out of Roadkill but you can’t take the Roadkill out of the man 😂👍🏻
The only motor I ever built was a 1915cc VW. I put Webber fuel injection on it and had nothing but problems. I finally had the injectors tested and cleaned. They were filthy and hardly working. Put the clean injectors in and that motor ran amazing! It was the best feeling in the world. I didn’t built a piece of junk, I just didn’t clean the file lines well enough.
about 10 years ago, on the top of Hale Mt. Alabama, we back flushed and cleaned a set of injectors out of a big block buggy, using assorted size hose, spray carb cleaner, a tank of nitrogen(we brought for charging shocks and air bumps), a set of jumper wires, one guy touching the wires to a battery pulsing the injector, and about 5 other guys holding everything together. wasnt the best way to get it done, but it worked. I now have an injector cleaner and flow bench in my shop
The fact that finnagins face went beat red when he was told he had 2 different injectors makes him not only human but was a priceless moment in the Darwin award of 2022
That's gotta be very satisfying to see verification of the problem and settle your mind. Also, I think the reason the boost was down while the power was up is likely going to be from the cooling effect of evaporating fuel in the compressor. It's also likely that the alcohols, which are lower-boiling, will flash off first, leaving some of the heavier oily fractions of the fuel to get a momentarily-better seal on your intake valves (or lubricate the runners to let the air slip through (ha ha)). The pressure is going to make the oily fractions of the fuel linger like a fog, when the short chains evaporate off, and the end result should be really good at cheating a some extra octane out of your fuel.
I just had the problem with a bad injector on my sons LS swap in his 80 Firebird, figured it out by the infrared thermometer on the exhaust, listened to each injector with a stethoscope, then made sure the wiring was good with a node light, luckily we got the last OEM injector left for his motor anywhere on rock auto
46:00 normal for that kind of injectors. Had several hang after ultra sonic cleaning. Tapped a little onto them with a 1/2" extension and they would start working. I think the valve inside just clings to the metal body. Doesn't mean they are trash per se.
I didn’t realize that fuel injectors were sensitive like this, Nor did I even think that they would flow differently due to something as simple a dirty fuel line. This puts perspective on something I’ve been trying to understand for awhile.
I remember first hearing about Pete's shop from an episode of Skid Factory a few years ago. He allowed the boys to come in and totally rebuild a Barra for a Mustang!
very interesting and relatable. all I/C cars do run injectors and it’s nice to see a resolution to the problem.lesson learned keep your fuel system clean.
Great video!! Was so cool to see the sick week banner I signed in Florida too!!! Wasn’t sure where they all went. Royce Payton blocks half the air to his huge hat for street driving.
Good to see these guys are man enough to admit daft mistakes that the rest of us make. Love Blasphemi and the journey it's taking you on. Big `FAN. uk APE.
WoW! Fifty shades of red on Finnegans face when he found out about the 120-160 error! It happens, and it was cool to see the mistake taken in stride. Too funny!
That was great,atleast you show your mistakes ,with all the equipment in the world we all make them 👍. Looking forward to seeing Blasphemi get it's fresh engine 👍👍
@cleetus @JackstandJimmy!!! just watched your video today, you mentioned Finnegans video!!! here ya go bud!!!! get them injectors on point! The "mighta just found a problem..." laughed soooo hard when he said 120 and 160's.... best segment of the whole vid Woulda gave more thumbs up if i could. legit best video of 2022
Awesome episode. Pete the Mastermind behind Beer Money. One of the Most feared Small tire No prep cars around today. Pete and Lyle Don’t bet against them you will loose your money.
That’s some really cool info on injectors to be honest, thanks for sharing the video with us. Glad to see blasphemi coming back together, can’t wait to see the caddy get finished though to be honest.
I’ve learned more about injectors than I ever thought I would know in my life. That was awesome, thanks 👍
I slept through half the video and still learned something XD
Same 👍
Same
right? probably the best and most practical video example of injectors i've ever seen.
Ditto
Theres a look Eric’s face, 10 seconds before he exclaims that the injectors are different. It’s priceless. He started to smile when he realized it and just wanted to make sure.
Good catch! Right around 54:20 you can see the lightbulb go on.
And Mike's face after that. Turned super red!
This is one of the most educational videos you have produced Mike, thanks !
literally i think he learned a lot too. like the difference between 120 and 160 lmao

@sehhi vooty sometimes you only have 2 options laugh or cry and if you can't laugh at yourself you'll be a miserable person
This has got to be one of my favorites. I love when Finnegan goes on a field trip and discovers shops like this.
Field trips are more educational than classroom time

I am so impressed that you not only have the best videos in our hobby but that you dont edit out the goof ups. Keep it real!
Wow! Great video, thanks to Neuburg for always asking questions and Eric’s free flow of information.
This is one of the best and most educational episode so far. 10/10 Mike.
Thanks for leaving the 120/160 in the video... lot of channels would have found a way around it for sure! Now the question is, have you other engines with injectors you may want to check, seeing as you had a four/four mix?
Plausible the company packaging these screwed up. It looked like the same brand that had dead ones out of the box.
Great to see the blashemi back in progress.
Time for a dual throttle body setup.
Small for idle and cruce. Second linked to open for all the power.
Wondering if hellcat throttles could also be an answer..
cruce?
This is a totally cool video that every EFI racer needs to see! BTW, the look on your face when Eric told you some of your injectors from that set were 120’s and some were 160’s was priceless.
I like this channel. Everybody is just so real. Mike learns as he goes and laughs at himself in the meantime.
Mechanical science is flipping awesome! That was a hands down, an anybody on earth can understand that, demonstration!!!
Always nice to see Finnegan on the weekends.
Yup
the weekends are for the homies.
Kinda like visiting rights, isn't it? Hey dad, let's race this weekend!
MAybe less drinking while working in the shed... 120's and 160's...
I'll vote for more drinking.
This might not impress everybody but I noticed at 18:00 that the lettering on the logo above the bench was absolutely aligned with the crank and the dead-level of the bench top..
Good eye.. well crafted used engine room.. Built too perfection 👍
Nothing like.watching Finnegan while yelling at the kids to leave their mother alone and make their own breakfast. Happy Mother's Day!

WoW! Fifty shades of red on Finnegans face when he found out about the 120-160 error! It happens, and it was cool to see the mistake taken in stride. Too funny!
Ok... that Injector test setup is slick!! Mike, dump the boat in the water... can't wait for more Game Over videos!!!
