I just got a call from the place installing my supercharger, they said that my injector o-rings where too swollen to reinstall on the new. They said that it will take until Monday to get the o-rings in :waag: . My question's are: Was there o-rings included in the kit? Is there anything else that might need to be ordered? Is there a way to get the o-rings sooner like buying at a hardware store or something or are they specific to the VX? Did anyone else replace their o-rings?

Thanks in advance
Alan

No, the O rings are not included. The top and bottom are different size. I also tore a bottom ring in my installation, so I ordered replacement overnight from st charles isuzu. Since they only showed one part #, the parts guy and I figured that the cost $8 was for the whole set of 12 O rings.

Only 1 ring is covered by that part#, lucky for me it was the bottom one I needed.

Neoprene O rings won't work for long since they are damaged by gasoline, the rings need to be nitrile rubber.

So where does one go to get the nitrile rings? May be I am reading it wrong, it sounds like you're saying the one fromt the dealer could be Neoprene. Did you ever find the right part numbers?
