Leaking fuel injector help
 
Well I just noticed yesterday that one of my fuel injectors is leaking gas. Should I replace them all or just the one? Is there any performance increase if I upgrade the injectors? What kind should I get?
By the way I have a turbo 280zx
Thanks for the help,
Jamie

Well you have a couple of options here, is your leak coming from the injector its self or from the supply line? If its only the line and you have no other problems(injector works fine other than leak) then I would just replace the supply lines. If you have an issue with it running rough or rich or your leak is coming from the body of the injector then I would replace all 6. As far as upgrade to larger injector, I really could not say, I am sure there would be more to it than simply slapping in bigger injectors. I have a 83 turbo and had to replace my injectors I got them at NAPA and I believe there were about $62 a piece for new not rebuilt..........

If you haven't cranked the boost up or swapped in a larger turbo, don't worry larger injectors. The stock ones are good for now.

You might want to check and see if the leak is coming from the seals or maybe the injector holders. These are a lot cheaper to replace than the actual injector.

haha...Well i bought a new injector. But as it turns out it was just the seal leaking. I guess it just became brittle and a big piece snaped off. I put the new injector in anyway with new seals. Problem solved.
