Injector Seal Issues

[MaasaiWarrior]

Hey guys, I've been trying to find these injector seals, apparently they are an older design (from my 08 spec b) but the new seals from subaru don't fit snugly on the injector, the inside diameter is larger so they will not seal around the injector, they have a good 1mm of space all around.

 

Has anyone else run into this problem and if you know of a part number that will have the right fitment. The new seals do not have the lip on them.

Have you tried asking DW?

If you get me a measurement on the seal ID that you need I can measure out the corresponding ID on the seals included in the DW kit, if that'd help.

Or, may be easier to just measure out the corresponding sealing surface on the DW1000s I have, for comparison to yours.

Hmm I sent mine for cleaning to dw and they just flow tested them. Said they were good. But it looked like new seals they sent me back. Same style not the one without the lip. I'm pretty sure.

The lip is on the inside of the one o-ring if that's your concern. I can confirm these fit an 08 spec b.

In the end yesterday I did get confirmation that the new seals will seal properly.

What I will need to do is, place them into the TGV housing and then bring down the rail and everything on top, once I bolt it down it'll spread the rubber donut out and have it fit properly.

 

Thanks for the help and offers guys!

I have noticed the Subarus don't "lock in" like other injectors. I did it slightly differently, I sat the injectors down in their holes then put the rail on.
