Default flow testing injectors?

ok so i am reciving a set of modded wrx injectors tomm and they are modded to flow 750cc's for my new turbo set up i am going to run and i just want to make sure that they are flowing what they should be. so i was wondering if there is anywhere around the area that will flow test injectors, or where i could send them off to get tested? any help would be awesome... and who wants to help me with a injector and turbo install??? any takers...

I dont know about localy but you can send them to RC and they can do it for you. i know there is a local place for diesels, i have used them but i highly doubt they do gas ones.

you do know that the "modification" is nothing more then grinding off the metering holes?

the spray isnt as good. it works, but its not as atomized as it should be, and can cause puddling issues.

what kind of management you running? cause if you are running a UTEC you will have a fun time trying to get them to work right (your MAF offset will be so high, it will place it in a new timing area, and it will freak the fuck out.)

what turbo you running it with?

last i heard, him and Phil were splitting ways

i havent been up there or talked to any of them in over a year though.

even still, with the RA's, you will have issues with that tranny more then likely. i never broke my RA's, but i didnt drive it much after that or with the power i was making.

and watch LC, you will spit a shim out using it or if you get a misfire under boost. i HIGHLY recommend later model lash adjusters if you can do it.

Actually, the latest UTEC software (with open loop fueling and injector scaling) is supposed to fix that. I haven't tried it personally, but all the reports I've heard say that it works fine. That was the version that came out just after you sold your car...
