Just the hone job ain't expensive...I have heard its best to send the entire injector in to get flow tested and balanced so one does not spray more fuel than the others. That being said I am goin with exergy to do my lbz 60% over. What's everyone else opinion?

Can they flow test them? Do you send the whole injector? Would they test them at WOT thru idle? I want to extrude hone to do mine but I wasn't sure if they could do all that for me...

Extrude Hone does not have the equipment to test anything that you have listed... Exergy does, lots of "big name" shops use Exergy and rebrand them "their" injectors.

Not saying what you are is wrong but their website DOES say that they flow test each injector to balance. Maybe they're lying so they get more business and then that way they eventually ruin the company. Or maybe I read it wrong.

how is it physically possible for you to send them just your tip and then claim they are balanced and calibrated? Each injector is different which is why Exergy calibrates and flows the tips on your actual injector. IIRC they can flow the tip but at not even close to operating PSI... I wouldn't put just larger tips in my truck but my injectors also have 50,000 miles on them. For $1200 its a good investment to know they are as close to accurate as they can be.

Just call Exergy and talk to Gregg but be prepared to learn a lot about common rail injectors.

Like I said, I am not telling that what you are saying is wrong, but I will say it is contrary to what they advertise. I would never pretend to be pretentious enough to say that I know more than the next guy, so perhaps you are correct. So I cannot answer your question: "how is it physically possible?". Not trying to cause an argument at all. If extrudehone does not test the injector, exergy is absolutely the way to go for a balanced injector.

Extrude Hone does not test injectors. They flow and balance the nozzles. The nozzle is extruded with abrasives to the percentage over and flowed with calibration fluid to check balance to with in .5%. Exergy does all of this and balances the injectors as a unit. They can get much better than the advertised balance number which is +-2.5%. I've had sets as close as +-.7% as a unit. It is hard to get injector balance that close.
