injector help needed..
While I was removing my injectors from my intake earlier, one of the plastic retainers on the end of one inj cracked and came off. My question is where can I get another one of these black plastic retainers to replace it. I have oem inj. That were redone to flow 65lbs at 3 bar. Any help is appreciated, I need it fixed by wed. That's when the new intake will b going on. Thanks.

Its the one in the middle. And its that small black retainer that is under the bottom o-ring it snaps over the metal lip towards the end of the nozzle

His injectors were stockers resized to 65's. I would think he needs to contact whoever resized them for a replacement. Its likely FICinjectors. No one else will know if there was a parts change outside the nozzle.
I doubt there will be a resolution to this outside a full replacement set if he cant find who resized them. Asking guys on a forum board is asking for best-guesses. If there is any issue, you are putting in one injector that will be different in size from the other 7.
My vote is to contact FICinjectors and see if this is their work. At the minimum they can match the replacement to the other 7 but I doubt its going to be under 100 bucks to flow check.

Should be fine. It's just a o-ring retainer, holds the o-ring on. Only thing is when and if you have to take it out again make sure the o-ring does'nt get stuck inside.
