i was pulling out my fuel rail and injectors to change the old fuel rail and FPR, i was pulling out my injectors and on one of the injectors the plastic tip that goes into the fuel rail was able to be pulled out, i noticed this when it fell out of the injector and onto the intake manifold, before i do anything else i wanna make sure what it will do if i dont have it in which im sure would be a bad idea and should i just get a new injector, or used, and that it would be fine then?

 

bump for stump

 

what kind of car do you have?

 

94 civic coupe with a b16 swap

 

i got a set of injectors i can sell you.

 

Are you talking about the little black plastic thing that goes into the top of the injector? If so, that's a wire screen. It'll catch any big debris that somehow made it passed the fuel filter. It doesn't take much to clog up a fuel injector or mess up it's spray pattern.
If you're replacing the injectors I wouldn't worry about it. My RC's didn't even come with the strainers, and the stockers didn't fit in there.
I guess you really don't need the strainers in there. Like I said, they're just there as a backup in case your fuel filter lets something get by.

 

its the t shaped plastic piece that fits inside the top of the injector that goes into the fuel rail, could i just replace the piece or could i keep the piece and just put it back in?

 

and would you be willing to sell just one injector? if not how much for all four?

 

I'm thinking you're talking about the little screen that goes in the top. I think it's a 10 micron mesh or something like that. If you have your injectors out anyway it's a good idea to clean all of those anyway. Soak 'em in some gas and back flush them with warm water.
Like I said before, you can run the car without those, but they're a nice thing to have to catch any kind of crap that might make it as far as the injector inlet.

 

the piece im talking about is just a plastic piece, i was guessing that it would open the injectors up to pull more fuel into the injector, just a guess tho, but i didnt see a screen, just a little plastic piece that is thinner in the part that goes into the injector and then has a flat piece at the top that is bigger to catch on the top of the injector.

 

so far a bump for 3 stumps?

 

bump?

 

Take a picture.

 

i dont have a camera, but when you pull out your injectors, at the very top, were the injector goes into the fuel rail, right above the o-ring. they are like an 1/8th of an inch thick; normally, from when i have messed with them, the top piece never fell out, but on one of mine it did, the other pieces seem like there is something holding it in, im not sure tho........

 

mid afternoon bump for sun not rain!

 

Here I just did you a favor.... here is a pic I just took in my room of one of my stock injectors pulled out and also showing a oem fuel rail half pulled out of my manifold. Hope this can help show us what you mean.

sweet uberdata owns!

 

your injectors didnt even have them, maybe i dont need them at all?

 

bump to get my car back on the road, i know someone knows something about the injectors, they might be from a pre-EG b16, like from a crx, so they might be different?!?!?! this is killing me tho, im gonna call Acura tomorrow, but normally i would have to go and talk with them and explain and bring my injector, then i might get something, but i gotta work all day tomorrow.........

 

I was sure that all the b16 and d16 injectors were the same at 240cc. Well at least the d16vtec I know that the cx's were smaller.

That tell me that you're talking about the strainers. You don't NEED them, but it'sa nice thing to have. And they don't get held in by anything. They just kinda sit in there. If one fell out no big deal.
