  • When to service 1kzte injectors

    Does anyone know when I should get the enjectors looked at in a 1kzte. I have hear differing figures so am not sure. I have 2.4 2Lt in a surf where they have never been done however I know they leak now. I plan to do the prado's lot earlier this time.

    Re: When to service 1kzte injectors

    Diesel workshops all seem to say around the 100k mark. In the scheme of things they arn't that expensive (expect a couple of $100 exchange, DIY labour)

    Personally I'd wait till signs of smoke/fuel economy increase/drivability change before I bothered.

      thanks for the reply Mick. Is it a big job to get them tested? I am planning on about a 10,000km trip at the end of the year and wouldn't mind knowing they are all good before we go.

        If your going to the trouble of getting them tested you may as well either do a DIY of it and get a change over reco set, or just book it in to get them done.

        To test them they take them out and screw them into a test rig that pumps fuel throught them so they can visually check the spray patterns, test flow rate and pressure it takes to open the injector (and going this far you'd obviously get them to change nozzles etc as required)

            Guys,

            I've got my Prado booked in to get the injectors replaced next Monday. The Prado has covered 278,000km without any previous servicing of the injectors. At the moment I have noticed some surging from the engine which I put down to leaking fuel injectors.

            While I'm at it, I'm getting the vehicle dyno'd to see if the DP Chip is at the optimum setting. I will then know how well my engine is running after doing so many km’s.

            I will let you know how things go.

              Re: When to service 1kzte injectors

              Hi all.

              I've noticed that my 1KZ is blowing a little more smoke than usual when under load. It has done 115k, so I'm figuring the injectors probably need replacing. Can someone explain the procedure for me, and give some info on level of difficulty? I'd rate myself a 6.5 out of 10 in terms of mechanical mindedness. Worked on loads of petrol cars when i was young and broke but, i've never worked on Diesels before. The injectors don't sound too hard though. I did a quick search on here hoping to find a thread that describes the procedure but no luck. Is there one around anywhere?

              Thanks
              Ian.

                Hi guys,

                I've just had my fuel injectors replaced and the vehicle dyno'd. The results of the dyno were interesting.

                Firstly, I have a Donaldson cyclonic pre-cleaner fitted to the Prado. I had it dyno'd with this on and the air ram that came with the snorkel. Results are that the cyclonic pre-cleaner doesn't restrict the airflow by any noticable amount. I was also told that the air ram would only provide any benefit if my speed was above 140 km/h.

                Secondly, the power figures for the Prado were 58 kw on the dyno. The EGT was originally on the high side, with the DP Chip set to 5. The Chip was lowered to position 3 when the final dyno run was done.

                Thirdly, I have noticed that the Prado feels a little down on power, but I have noticed that the fuel consumption is better.

                I'm still not sure when you should get the injectors done on these newer diesels, but I think I will get them done every 150,000 km or so.
