Non-Chlorinated Contact Cleaner - HPFP Internals Install

[mazdaspeeding]

As per the Autotech instructions I need this for the install. Am I correct in assuming that most or regularly available Contact Cleaner...is in fact Non-Chlorinated and Chlorinated would be the exception. I found Contact Cleaner at Crappy Tire but it does not specify Chlorinated or Non-Chlorinated.

I also found some online at Fastenal but am unsure if they carry it in stock or its special order...or yada yada yada.

What has everyone else used?

[Fack_Dude]

just use gasoline to clean the internals

[mazdaspeeding]

Gasoline is used as some steps during the install but this cleaner is used to blow out both the pump housing and passages as well as to clean my bench vise and work area. I really want to be sure on this install.

34 views and no love.... luckily Sechey came through for me! Crappy Tire sells Brake Cleaner in a white can with a Non-Chlorinated logo. Buy some vinyl people!!!!!

You need the non chlorinated "CRC BRAKLEEN"

The green/white label.

Cantire.

^^^ That is correct. Says Non-Chlorinated right on the front of the can.

Install went smoothly. I had to remove the Battery box and TIP despite claims that you don't. Perhaps with shorty wrenches and more patience its doable but I took my time and like to give myself room to work. The Autotech instructions include a complete dismantle, clean and re-assembly of the pump (not just the internals you're replacing) which may not be necessary but I did anyways. Car started up smoothly and made small whining/humming noise for the first few minutes and then became quiet. I've got about 80k of light, no boost driving so far and will continue to do so for another 50km. Autotech gives no mention of a break-in period in their instructions but I'm going to take it easy anyways for awhile. Even with light throttle inputs I can see FP jump to 1700-1800+psi so we're looking good so far. If anyone has any questions about this install feel free to ask.

haha im glad you just got this done because im getting mine next week... it looks pretty straight forward but I dont have a vice at home so its going to be tricky...

You absolutely need a bench vise - give me a shout on Friday after 6pm and we'll figure something out.

Update: Went full WOT this morning and FP is holding strong @ 1800-1900+ psi - car pulls strong and linearly (is that a word?)-very happy so far.

I'm probably going to attempt this on the weekend coming, where are you located and any chance I can text you if I run into a jam??

Just PM if you get a chance this week.

Thanks,

I'd love to, but that's about a 3 hour trip and I'm already east of the GTA! lol. By the time I got there at least I wouldn't have to worry about their being much fuel in the pump....or the tank for that matter.:(

I'm going to tackle it and see where it leaves me....good luck with your install as well.
