Broke Onee Of My Injectors :(

[nizmo_freek]

I have a question

When i was removing my standard injectors to install my nismo 555cc injectors (about 6months ago) i damaged one of the little plastic caps on the spraying end of the injector (not exactly sure what it is called), i must have hit it on something as the whole cap broke off.

Im wondering will this affect the performance/functioning of the injectors, to me it looks like the plastic cap is designed to create a certin spray patern, correct? or will it be fine to put it back in the car without the cap?

Reason is i want to return the car to completly stock and sell it, so any help would be great

Heres a pic of the little plastic cap on the end of the injector that i am talking about, and yes i know this is a picture of a nismo 555cc

Cheers

It's called a pintle cap.

Not absolutely necessary for function but it may not run correctly without them. Can't say I've done the test without them so it's hard to say.

Call you local mobile injector cleaner guy. He will keep them on board and they cost about $1 each

Yep just replace it... not worth the risk for the couple of dollars it will cost to get it back to good as new.

hehe, i broke like a few of the stock ones getting them out.. Learnt my lesson and made SURE my 740's went in very very carefully!.. One thing dude if ur pulling them out make sure u replace the seals.. Nothing worse than pinching an old one puttin em back in and it filling a cylinder with fuel.
