I MIGHT have a couple extras lying around, but I'll have to look. Otherwise, you'll probably have to hit up a dealer and see if they've got em in stock. I had to order mine from subaruparts.com when I installed my injectors and ripped a couple O-rings. I bought a bunch of em in case I needed extras, but I know I've given out a few and damaged a few more myself. I'll look through the parts bins I have and see if I've got any extras.

A.V.E.- Don't go so far as to order them. That's crap. I tore mine when I installed them and took one of the more intact ones and brought it to Dale's Hardware in Fremont. They have a huge selection of O-rings. Any hardware store for that matter. As long as the o-ring still has the shape, you can match em up and be fine. I did and I no longer have a leak.

 

i was thinking of going to the dealership and see if they had them in stock. i need to head over there anyways to pick up an oil filter so ill probably check and pick some up. if not ill go ahead and check dales hardware.

thanks for the input guys, ill post up my charts when i get it tuned

We DO have a couple of them in stock, and I can check and see if they might work for your injector.

Someone ordered the wrong ones by mistake...

 

Searched through my parts bin earlier tonight - I don't have any spare rings at all at the moment, unfortunately.

Not familiar with Dale's Hardware, but I tried sourcing some O-rings elsewhere and had some very interesting results. The problem is that most of the hardware store O-rings aren't fuel-safe - so you'll end up with a pool of stick black goop that used to be an O-ring after it's exposed to fuel for a while. So unless they're automotive grade O-rings and specified as safe for use with fuel, oil and/or other petroleum products, I'd be careful doing this. As you said, you've used them and it seems to work, so I assume the parts you picked up are in fact fuel-safe.

i'm pretty sure they are extremely cheap at the dealer... i have to go in tomorrow to get o-rings for my 3000gt

 

just a little update, i found some o rings and a friend of mine took out the old one and replaced it. it was a teeny tiny rip on the top o ring, but everything is working fine and when i drive i dont smell fuel which is a plus.

just needs to be tuned, once i get it tuned ill post up the graphs

yeh.. thats good that you found them. now hurry up and get it tuned
