04. Shaving Nissan Injectors

Shaving a Nissan Injector is the process of removing the spray cap that will result in increasing the flow volume.  This is a cost-effective way to increase the injector size.

This will however ruin the spray pattern of the injector, instead of a cone fine spray, it will spray in a stream.

Step 1.

Using a hand file or sand paper, carefully sand/file down the head of the injector.

Keep sanding/filing until you start to see the center section lifting off.

Step 2.

When the center section starts to lift off, you can use a pick or piers to peel it away.

Step 3.

You will be left with a small pinhole, use some steal wool to clean up the head of the injector and they are now shaved.
