Vacuum/boost leak from oil injectors?
Okay after an hour of poking I haven't found the answer so... I understand the oil injectors get filtered/metered pre throttle plates but when I pressurize the motor to test for boost leaks and spray some soapy water on the oil injectors I can confirm that its leaking where the injectors are crimped when assembled so what's the best course of action to repair? Im assuming they shouldn't leak air or they are going to be a boost leak and idle issue

Soo after closer inspection and looking at mazdatrix it looks like the replacement ones they show for all models look just like s5 n/a ones I have laying around. They appear to be designed differently however the oil inlets on the banjo sections are small and the vacuum nipples on them aren't flared but the injector end appears to be the same diameter so im going to carefully widen the inlets to match my turbo s4 ones and flare the inlets. Problem solved. Hope this helps anyone in the future with vac leaks ect.

I used to have a link to where you could get new lines and crimp pieces. It's probably still on this forum somewhere. I think the lines were teflon. It was very affordable. Since you're messing with the oil injectors already you should look up info on premixing and see if that's a better solution for you.

Ran premixed during break-in. Works well but im too forgetful. I've read your omp lines write up and already have all the supplies to rebuild them but I have a set in pretty good condition already on it. But thanks it is a good write up for is cheap fc owners
