I have a set of 120's that are on E85, on the bench.
Serious flow/leak/pattern issues.
Wouldn't this be a biatch to try to tune!!
Flows are obviously being affected by the filter baskets being full of rusty, chocolate colored dust.
The system has a 100M B4 the pump, 40M after. Even w/ the filters, the dirt was in and past the inj baskets.
A good way to check the injs, is to get an otoscope. [What the dr looks in your ears with]. A good one is <$40/on the bag. Hi intensity LED, 10X mag, metal body. Great for looking at plugs, too.
Here's the B4 and after flow levels. No other cleaning, etc, was done in the B4/after pics.
I cleaned them 3 10 min cycles, then reflowed.
No leaks, good patterns, virtually no change in volume. Pretty obvious that the dirt was the culprit, in that it plugged the screens, and got into the orifices. [SIGNIFICANT flow increase!]
The customer has a couple pics of the main filter. They are too big to post. Maybe, he'll see this, and reduce the pics, and add them to the thread.
Bottom line:
Stay on top of the system w/ frequent filter cleaning, inj inspections. If you want to take it to a higher level, the inj baskets can be pulled w/ a sheet metal screw, and replaced.
