where to get upper insulator for rc injector?
i have a set of rc 550s in my civic, and one of the top rubber insulators is torn. where can i get another one? i assume they are different than the oem ones?

no, its like a rubber spacer on the top of the injector, (i have 550's- my 750's don't have the rubber spacer). can you order those directly from RC?

No, I believe he is talking about a black sleeve that is not shown in your picture. It sits below the green O-ring. I dont know its function other than to "insulate" as original described. I dont see how its absolutely nessecary and if its not completely ripped in half Id use it anyways.
But if you want to replace it, RC is your only source.

I think I have the actual Honda part he wants. I bought them a while back before installing RCs and ended up never using them. I'll take pics, hold on...

Do you mean these spacers on the pic below?
I do not know where to buy them either... If anyone has an idea where to get them, I would like to know as well!
I have two RC 550's injectors that are missing those plastic spacers as well.

Re: where to get upper insulator for rc injector? (dpetro1)
Hey D-petro, all the RC injectors have that lower rubber insulator... Kyden mentioned that only his 550's have it, but not the 750's, and he was asking for the top of the injector. Kyden is right, only the RC 550's have that stupid removable soft plastic/rubber-like spacer at the top. All the other injectors doesn't have it at all. That's how I dropped mine when I first took the injectors out of the rail, not knowing that the plastic piece was removable...

Re: where to get upper insulator for rc injector? (Tony the Tiger)
didnt mean to offend you tony, maybe the red x on your pic was a little much. my 550s dont have the piece you are talking about. i think me and muckman might be on the same page.

hey kyden, so which one is it? if its what me, muckman and sprockets are thinking of then you can use the oem honda part or get them from rc.

Re: where to get upper insulator for rc injector? (dpetro1)
dpetro is correct, its the one with the yellow arrow. i'm gonna call RC tomorrow.
and tony, never seen that plastic spacer go on top. that one looks exactly like the piece that goes in the intake manifold. mine just has the o-ring in a groove.

Great... looks like I need to somehow find those replacement plastic rings myself
For the rubber insulators, the OEM Honda ones also work on the RC injectors. So maybe you can save the hassle from getting them directly from RC.

LOL, no offense taken at all. I was also trying to find out exactly which part Kyden was referring to; quite frankly, I am missing those plastic spacers and I want to know where to get them (instead of RC shipping me a few plastic rings for $50 or some **** like that).
