Those seals are $1 each at the dealer. Dig up some change under your car seats.

i went to HDR today and couldnt find these things. i even went to the front desk to give them the part number and they said they didnt have any!

Could always try lowes or another home improvement store...or the dealer

 

[dnhieu]

what exactly are they used for anyways? i went to home dept and no one knew what the hell i was talking about. it looks like a gromet for running wires....

SlowBoyRacing.com has them. I just ordered some from there and they work perfectly.

just to add to this thread, I picked up the neoprene/rubber grommets to use as lower injector seals and they worked great.
cost $.73 each, and they fit ALMOST perfect. they fit in the head nicely, but they are a little loose on the injector. they are also just a touch thicker than the stock L.I.S. but they squish to fit.

Key word here being "ALMOST". Come on people, do it once do it right. Your using something for home improvement on a vehicle...Even my local dealership had these things in stock. $0.49 ea. Rediculous.

 

[sd_ff22]

um, I hate to tell you this, but the stock part is not a "do it once and do it right" part. the inherent nature of the material used to make the stock injector seals is to turn into hard plastic after numerous heat cycles leading to boost leaks. is that "doing it once and do it right"


NO(.)


I tried something new to see if it will perform better than the stock part.


and it has.

How have they performed better than the stock part? Because they don't leak? Of course they don't they are new. If you put on the same seals from the dealership they wouldn't leak either. Of course those seals are designed for that particular part. Those seals you have will dry up as well.

they are pretty cheap at the dealer, when you change them i would change the injector o-rings as well because when I did mine an injector came out then started to leak past the o-ring.

 

[Matrixhunter]

How cheap are you people??? even here in Canada where we pay 30% more for everything they still cost less than a dollar each. Cover the lower seals in dielectric grease and they will not dry up as fast.

They are $3 a piece a our local dealship, lowes racing has them 4 for 2 dollars.
