problems with marren fuel injectors, please read, and give your opinion

less than a year ago, i purchased set of 72lbs (750cc) injectors from marren fuel injectors. they were installed in my car, and everything was fine.

this past september, while tuning the car, we noticed that the front plugs were lighter in color than the rear plugs, suggesting that there was a difference with the injector flow. immediately, i sent the injectors back to marren to be cleaned, and sure enough the front primary injectors were flowing unevenly, the front rotor was 3% less than the rear. i received the injectors back with both injectors cleaned and flowing perfectly according to the flow sheets.

since i recieved the injectors back from marren, i have had difficutlies sealing the injectors, and Tim from that company suggested that i send them the rail and the injectors so they can fit them with the correct o ring.

i then sent them the rail and injectors, and they said that they fitted larger o rings and everything was sealing properly. and all they have to do is give me a "free" flow testing just to make sure that everything is still perfect.

i recieved a call today, they said that the injectors did not have the proper spray pattern, and flow rates are at least 5% off from normal, and the injectors need to be replaced otherwise risking the engine's life.

between the 3 week span that i recieved the injectors and sent it back to them, these injectors DID NOT even have fuel flow through. i was so concerned about the top O ring sealing that the injector clips were not installed, so no current even touched the injectors. after telling them that, Russ (another person from marren) suggested that i have very currosive agents in my gas? HOW COULD THIS BE, it is the same gas that was in the tank before they cleaned it in the first place. to add to that, i have 2 new fuel filters for each of my rails. they then went on that i could have had aluminum oxide in my fuel rail that curroded the internals of the injectors.

they claim that there are no physical damages to the injectors. and went on to say that i should send the other injectors that i got cleaned to them to be tested as well.

now, of course i cannot trust these injectors whether they were lying to make me buy new ones or not. but i sure smell something very fishy going on.




should i ask for my stuff back, and call the Better Business Bureau?

Marren has a reputation for being very negative. They tell many people that RC's 1300's are a waste of time to use and that they do not work...which is a bit of misinformation.
I would not believe a word they say... use them at your own risk.

the final result was, the set of 1600cc inj that i got clean and said needed to be replaced turned out to be in perfect working order according to lindertech (fellow rx7 owner works there ). and the 750cc that they openned was of course gone, and the one that they didnt open had damage in them (possible foul play involved)
