yes, but how exactly are you going to judge the product by a video online? unless its professionally done. someone holding a camera sitting in the passenger seat of a car isnt going to help you 'really' feel what its like to drive it

im the one that made the videos that soxfan has of his turbo setup.. and let me tell you, the videos dont make you feel anything at all like the real thing.

can I go get them from an acura dealership? and what about the clips? and that's so that they can clip into the stock fuel rail correct?

Nice numbers.

I Agree, but somthing is better then nothing. Its not always about the feel Phalanx, Do you not listen to music on cds or mp3s? I feel that just becuase i cant be at a concert, or be actualy behind the wheel of the modifed car, i like to use my other sences, sound, and sight.

in any event im a youtube junky always looking for si videos of different exhausts and forced inducted kits

Nick here's some links to help you. I don't recommend going to Acura to buy the inj's, here's one online source. HONDA PARTS UNLIMITED... YOUR SOURCE FOR OEM HONDA AND ACURA PARTS AND ACCESSORIES!!!

RDX Injector Info - onecamonly.com thats probally one of the best write-ups I have ever read. You don't have to mod the inj's or the manifold, only need to change the clips.

**soxfan143** · 01-30-2009, 12:14 AM

The RDX injectors are CRAP!!! Trust me. Everyone that uses them with this kit or even with the TSI kit has issues with fueling and making power. They are NOT better than the RC 440cc at all. Trust me guys. Stick with what works and with what people have proven what works.

***gmoneyhobbit*** · 01-30-2009, 01:28 AM

what about the rc 550cc injectors.?

lovecheese · 01-30-2009, 03:12 AM

Alrighty guys! First of all, Thank you for all the kind words! I am coming home in 12 days and I will post new pictures/videos of my car and link them to Fquick...

I bought RC Engineering Fuel Injectors and Clips to go with it. This is the only upgrade I have done from the orginal GReddy kit. My exhaust is a Skunk 2 70 MM, but I've been toying with the idea of getting rid of it and increasing to a 3" exhaust system.

I believe with in the next year, after I buy a good clutch, which I'm thinking stage 3 instead of stage 2 now, tires and what not, I'm going to be the guinea pig and get a mild port and some turbo cams.

sorry mike, but I'm going to have to trust the rocket scientists at honda on this one and not you, no offense...these are honda injectors designed for boost...if someone you know or you yourself didn't get them to work right it was bad programming. RC engineering is a great company, but there's a reason honda didn't recruit those guys coming out of college.

im going to get a quote today about the exhaust being made. know of anyone that sells one for us?

lovecheese · 01-30-2009, 12:05 PM

AJP makes a 3" exhaust for 829 dollars... COUPE ONLY
AJP Store - Exhaust | All Japanese Performance

IamBATMAN · 01-30-2009, 12:09 PM

I think 550s would be a safe route to go with this turbo kit, i mean this is a very conservitive kit. but with 550s at least you have a foundation to maximize this kits power. So in the future when a real tuning solution is created, we can all upgrade our turbos, tune with the 550s we have in, and make some insane numbers. I guess its always better to over build a setup now, then constantly upgrading partsl. i mean the kit comes with 370!!! my stock dsm was at 450, and this turbo is bigger!

Supa Ninja · 01-30-2009, 07:07 PM

Soxfan was saying the 550's have a crappy spray pattern and to stay away from them, but then again he doesn't like the rdx injs either.

cheese-you can run the coupe catbacks on a sedan if you get the extender pipe or have one made. its only a 3 inch difference. i think procivic sells one.

lovecheese · 01-31-2009, 07:31 AM

Oh, how much of a difference though? Price wise?
