Hi all!
Been having a no-start issue, and had my car taken to a well-regarded 914 shop. They informed us that their policy is that they only use brand-new parts that they source themselves. Outside of the no-start issue, it appears that the NOS fuel injectors that we had put on it are leaking, alongside the short hoses leading to them. We just replaced the whole fuel system with Tangerine Racing stainless lines with new rubber. They said that the tiny rubber lines are backordered, and the injectors run about $500 per. I'm confused, as I see hundreds of listings for part FJ67 for $120 online. Am I missing something here? Let me know if i am overreacting. |

Find a new shop that isn’t intent on scamming you.
PS - send your injectors to Mr Injector. He will test & clean them. If they are truly leaking and aren’t worth cleaning he will not charge for them. |

wow....
Actual cost on FJ67s is less than 100 bucks a piece. 500 if they were talking the whole set maybe. Shops only installing parts they source is not uncommon, but those prices are out there. I don't have the factory book in front of me at this exact moment but I know even factory book time to replace 4 injectors was less than 2 hours. The elbows are an absolute non issue, even if you don't know 914s. Worst case replacing all the fuel lines in the engine bay at the same time with good German braded stuff you are still under 1000 bucks. |
