ive recently installed the slp fuel injectors and they wont stop coming out of the fuel rail, not completely but just enough for them to leak. i think the fuel pressure is forcing them out. i also installed thicker o rings bc the problem was worse with the stock ones. i couldnt use the stock retainer clips that clip[ to the fuel rail but is there anything else i can use to keep them in.

thank you

What he said !!!


I just ordered a set of these from SLP today... I had an old $100 gift certificate I needed to use. Hopefully we can figure this out !

I've had a set of 24# and a set of 42# SVO injectors and with both I didn't like the fit as it seemed to loose. I put an extra o-ring up into the rail and have not had any problems in 3 years. It seemed like the injectors were too short in my case. Not sure if this is the same problem you're having.

I just used a Dremel with a cutting wheel and continued the clip circle all the way around. Very easy, efficient and you couldn't tell it was cut.

I just called Dana @ SLP about this... He said get some "plain 1/2" E clips" from home depot or wherever, & put them in the bottom groove of the injector & everything will be OK

My injectors will be here in a couple days & I have to go to the HD for a few things anyway so i'll see how it works in a few days

heard about the 1/2 clips from home depot but i dont know where to put them, i really need to see it visually. what do the e clips look like. i picked some up and they looked like they wouldnt fit. if you have any pics or detail instructions i would greatly appriciate. thank you

I have LS1 injectors in my car, didn't do anything special, they stay in there just fine.

When my injectors get here I'll take some pics. Probably wont be for a few days though...I'm using a gift certificate to buy them which I mailed out today, as soon as they receive it theyre shipping the parts.

I have not seen them in person yet, but from what Dana told me theres some grooves in the injectors & the clips go in the lower one.

I responded to your PM question but for everyone elses benefit I'll give a little detail.
I told SLP about my E-Clip fix after I had the same problem of fuel presure pushing the injectors out and causing leaks (they are slightly shorter than stock). I looked at the bottom goove and thought that an E-Clip in there might work well as a solid stop to keep the injector from being pushed too far into the intake (and out of the fuel rail). I was at Home-Depot and looked through their MSP bins and took a chance that the 1/2" Plain Steal E-Clips would work. Well I couldn't believe that they fit just like they are made for it.
Just re-seat the injector into the fuel rail so you can see the bottom groove, then insert the E-Clip into the bottom groove, you can set the E-Clip on the intake injector boss and push it into place with a large flat blade screwdriver.
If it's still unclear I'll try to take some pictures when I get back in town.

Good Luck,

PS. The car ran well initially and got steadilly better over the next couple of weeks, I'm assuming that it took a little while for the computer to adjust to the change from old 170k mile 22lb stock injectors to the new 25lb ones.
