I removed the intake and fuel rail systems in order to install a better (outlet location) coolant crossover pipe and have been taking this opportunity to clean some of the other parts. I would love to replace the donor fuel injectors but that is currently not in the budget. Is there a way to clean (or soak) the injectors while I have them removed? My donor is a 2004 WRX.

When you get your engine back together and running, I suggest you use Techtron from Chevron you can pick it up at any auto parts place. My brother-in-law helped develop this product and he put it to the test before approving it and it cleaned everything. I use it in by gas tank every time a change the oil and there is a tremendous difference in performance and gas mileage. It cleans your injectors.

I cannot recommend DW due to very poor customer service. A new set of blue rebuilt injectors they would not warranty. Two over fueling and fouling plugs. After numerous emails to Every body at DW they Finally sent me a new set of the Bosch injectors. Put them in tuned and fouling issues are gone. But I had to go to the top. Customer beware!!

Great information, thanks. I will look into a few of these and see what my options are. I am definitely a Subie Noobie and this project has me delving into the motor and wiring aspect further than I have in the past.

I cleaned the injectors myself: used a homemade switched harness and then a large "feed store" syringe to pressure supply the cleaner to the injectors.
