No. eventually they will gum up. Injectors should be replaced every 70k on these, even if not using ethanol.
You do not need to replace injectors at 70k unless you are having issues. There are hundreds of thousands if not over a million of these 1.5's in CRV's and Accords and Civics and there are a large amount over 100-150k miles with zero issues. You just don't see the injector issues unless they use ethanol or are modified.

I've been running this turbo on a CVT. Tuned with drob on 93 + all the typical bolt ons and loving every minute of it (3" catless DP, 3" front pipe, PRL turbo inlet, cobra CAI, race MAF, forge BPV, mishimoto FMIC etc)

I drive the car regularly, and have had zero issues in terms of reliability throughout the whole installation and tuning process. It's been installed for about 5-6 months now

Wish I could get Dyno numbers with a flexfuel tune. It feels absolutely insane in comparison to stock. Can't put it into words.

Yea! This was the first time I've seen/heard of this.

I 10000000% recommend this over the boomba if anyone is ever looking to replace the stock (wish I never would have taken mine off and lost it lol)

It comes with different valve springs as well

yeah I know they said stay away from BOv’s. I’ll check that out. I was gonna end up selling my car since I just paid it off. But I don’t wanna pull the gun. I’m gonna finish this build.

just to clarify It's not a BOV
It's a recirculating/BPV just like the factory :)

yeah I know, trying to build a little list here. I have to read this entire forum here to see which drop in I’m gonna go with. Or if I should just get the PRL big turbo kit.

Good advice. I’m still confused though as to why we cannot just clean. But given @Jason Baker and his failed injector I am not gonna clean. Just replace. Super safe approach.
Due to the pressure level the injectors function at not many companies currently have the equipment to recreate the pressure needed.

Hey 10th gen fam! Figured I'd keep this thread going by saying rev6 is a solid company. My r365 started burning some oil and they offered a replacement with no questions asked. Also, they are coming out with a ball bearing version of the turbo which is the one I decided on and the new power band looks gnarly, spool is much quicker. Love the r365 and will be posting updates on how the new r365 RED BB spools up and all that

Where on turbo did you see oil coming from? I replaced the feed line thinking it was the problem, but that didn't fix it. I also get blue smoke sometimes.

The hot side turbo, there was oil dripping out of the bottom a little bit and it burns oil occasianlly. Just on decel and low rpm, and idle sometimes. Not a bunch either just burns oil for a quick second then stops, but pretty good sized cloud. Only burned .5qts in about 5k

Had the same exact failure on 3 of the drop ins now. Two of them were regular R365's and the 3rd was the BB which we weren't allowed to talk about but I see we already let the cat out of the bag lol. Sending my 3rd turbo (the new ball bearing) back so RV6 and the manufacturer can inspect and diagnose the failure in the new CHRA. I will say however, in the 2-3 days that the BB turbo was running fine, it was an amazing turbo. Quick spool and lots more power over the journal bearing. Hoping this all gets resolved in the near future.
