Injector Seals went Bad while tuning my car - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jamesm · 05-26-2013, 12:33 PM

this has got me kind of worried. my car is in the shop getting a turbo kit right now, and i haven't had any of the TSB updates people are talking about. I just got my car a month or two ago, should I be safe from this? how long ago did they figure this out and start correcting them at the factory?

How are you 1000% sure it is your DI seal that is shot?

More detail, what is the car doing that would lead him to reach that conclusion?

So, you got on the Dyno, were running lean, got helped with fuel pump install, got the fuel pump install sorted out but still was running lean? Just trying to get as much info as possible and see if by any chance I have it too, not trying to be an ass at all.

My advice to you, whenever someone tells you something and you really don't know or understand, ASK. That is how you will learn!!

I was wondering if these are the stock injectors or aftermarket. I have seen a few issues with the design of aftermarket ones (I'm a hydraulics mechanic for aircraft). The seals on the aftermarket pumps and a injectors don't seem to be up to par. I would use high temp back up teflon rings on the back side of a high grade seal. This will make you good for temps over 300 degrees and pressures up to 6000psi. It's over kill but better to have to much than to little.
