    Yup, second that opinion. The o-rings are not leaking. It is your injector where the plastic and metal parts are pressed together.

    It seems like the best price anyone here has found is $40 each and they are available through nopi.com. The new ones come with all the seals you need and if you are careful you can just replace the ones that are leaking without replacing the seals on the injectors you leave in.

    Getting bigger injectors won't do squat unless you get a new cam, intake, and exhaust.

    Think of the engine as a pump. Unless you can get in more air and increase the duration of the valve opening adding more fuel in won't do anything except maybe decrease your gas mileage and enrich your fuel mixture. The injectors that came with your car are precisely "sized" for your current setup. Adding performance is not as simple as sticking in injectors with a higher flow rate.

    Sorry, dude.

    I have two leaking fuel injectors that I need to replace. Are these the ones I'd have to buy?

    Yeah those are the ones. I wonder if having different injectors on the engine would do something weird.

    Maybe getting them from a junkyard would be cheaper. Also, you'll make sure they are all the same brand

    I just did mine this weekend and the 3 that were leaking were definitely leaking at the seams, not the o-rings.

    89 Supra injectors fit, and flow more. If you got the usual I/H/E, throw on a pressure regulator, and put those in. Junkyards are filled with these cars.
