RE: injectors

[Matt]

OK...now this I hope at least one of you can help me out with this one. I have a h23 si prelude. One of my injectors has a "pressure leak" so whenever I give it any sorta gas I run really rich because one of them just drops in gas instead of spraying it in. I've been having trouble finding any sorta aftermarket injectors, because if I get stock ones the same thing is gonna happen. The only company I've heard of that makes um for my car is "RC." any thoughts about them, what about any other companies. I dunno if anybody is gonna be able to help me out with this but ANY information or like a direction in where to go would help me out. Thanks.

Oh yeah...anybody have any sort of installation exp with injectors...I've seen it done before and it looks like it's right up my ally.

why not oem replacements, or RC for that matter?

becuase the oem ones can only flow so much feul...if I get oem ones again the same thing is gonna happen. RC has just been bullshitin with me everytime I talk to them. sometiems they have them...some times they don't. Sometimes they have told me they have never made um before. So...yeah...I dunno... just wanted some advice.

well I'm not sure what kind of injectors can go into my car besides the OEM ones. As far as bigger ones...the only other bigger honda 4 banger is the CRV, and I'm not sure if those would fit. Would be cool if they did though. I'm gonna try to do a little research to see how much the stock ones can handle.

I'm looking to hit 13's so about 300HP probably less then that, but I would also like them to be able to handle the extra need for feul if I use NOS.

[Matt]

hah problem child...I have to keep my feet still or my kittie will start attacking them. haha. anyways, bare with me here because I don't really know much about injectors.

right now my car can't be pushing more then 200hp. at the wheels i would say no more then 160 to 170. don't really worry about the nos thing...that's not something that I'm really gonna need to worry about for a while. I'm probably going to do a h22 head swap very soon, and upgrade my whole feul system. I woudln't mind getting the stock ones but they are HELLA $$$ and if they go out again I'de be pissed. that's why I'm thinking get aftermarket ones...if I run rich turn the feul down either with my AFC or feul pressure regulator to get me running good. What do you think?

im thinking 450cc RC's... the stock eclipse injectors are 450cc, so IF they fit onto the honda fuel rail, are the same type (peak-hold or saturated) and are the same feed (top or side) they might work, goto a junk yard and nab some if they will. If not, order some 400 or 450cc from RC engineering, or Denso is pretty good too

well the thing about rc engineering is that half the time they say they make those for my car...and the other half they don't so it's pissing me off. I might try denso though. thanks.

my injectors are aldready bad. I took out my pressure regulator already...but with the amount of miles on them and the wear and tare and all that stuff they are bad. I was also thinking of slighty larger ones. To me that would be the best bet becuase if I run rich I can put my pressure regulator back on and turn it way down...or use my afc to fine to it etc. sooo...if we are agreed on just slightly larger ones should I still go with rc? To my knowledge I don't know any larger injectors that will fit into my car. What if I were to get a different feul rail? What are my options with that. Like say I get a h22 feul rail because maybe some more types of injectors could fit that or something. Just a suggestion...but it's a far shot.

The only thing w/ Venom is that they are definately upgraded injectors...give them a call and ask for the part number. Then just call up your local shop and ask them...I know bosch also makes injectors. Hopefully this will help ya a little.. =)When you get an answer email me up..I have a 2.2L I might just swap them out as well. I've been wanting to call them but im alwayz so busy at work.

cool...thanks for the info man.

rc is good stuff...
The size injectors you get however, is based on your fuel system needs.

if you're just looking for the same CC....look into used oem...as they're not even CLOSE to being cheap from the factory.

that's crazy cheap for oem injectors! which dealer sells them that cheap?

all the acuras/hondas here charge 120 PER b series injector...no bull shit

whereas racers sell them 75 dolla for all four! hahaha
