Default cracked injector

the guys who are swapping my b16 (obd0) out of my integra and into my crx informed me today that one of my injectors is cracked. His reccomandation to me was to see if i could find a set of rc 270cc injectors, but then he told me that it would cost me around 300. Being that just dropped quite a bit into this swap paying 300 when i really only need one injector seems like kind of a waste. So what id like to know is if there is any cheaper alternatives to spending 300 for a set of new injectors. and if any of you know where i could get those injectors cheaper that would help too.
thanks in advance

It`s not very necessary to purchase a full set of new injectors, I am sure someone on here will have some injectors if not one for you that you can buy off them used.

Other than that, you can also shop around for DSM 450cc's.

HTH.

If your CRX is an HF or Si then you can reuse the stock injectors. If not, then you need to get some from an 88-91 Civic Si or CRX Si/HF or a 90-91 Integra.

im running an obd0 b16, i thought about an ls but is the output of the ls injector the same as the b16?
and the 450 seems a bit excessive for my mild setup.
thanks

88-91 Civic/CRX Si and 90-91 Integra's are 240cc injectors, the same as the OBD0 B16A. The 450 DSM's are overkill unless you are running forced induction.

a cracked pintle cap will still run on the car.

most injector cleaner companies can fix that for less than $30
