AFC and injectors question
I figured I'd start a new thread about this. I've got a boosted 96 Accord with VTEC, and no fuel management or intercooler. I'm running about 4 or 5 psi right now (the gate is set at 6.5, but I'm not letting it get there until I do something about the fuel and intercooler).
Should I get the SAFC? The VAFC will not work with my car, Apexi says the 5th gen Accord uses VTEC differently than other Hondas, so it won't work with it.
Also...I read that I would need larger injectors with an AFC, and that the 450cc DSM injectors are the most popular...will they work in my car? If so, where can I find some at? If they won't work, which ones would? Thanks.

Re:AFC and injectors question
I wouldn't drive my car boosted without fuel management or an intercooler. Stock vtec setting is just fine so go ahead and buy the safc. Yes you will need to get some larger injectors. You can get DSM 450's off ebay, forums like this one or dsmtrader.com, junkyards. DSM injectors are peak and hold so if your injectors are saturated you will need to install resistors. There is an article in the tech section about installing dsm's and resistors.
This is also a fuel management question so next time post in the right section.

Thanks for moving this.
I just ordered a new SAFC, so that'll be here in about a week. How would that work with stock injectors? Or what about new injectors? I think it's Venom who makes some that flow 10% more than stock. I know people who use the DSM 450cc ones set the controller to -30 something, right? So why should I go that big if I won't ever really use it? Do you think the Venom ones would be enough for low boost? I don't mind buying new ones, I'm just sick of getting used stuff off eBay and later regretting it. Thanks for the responses.

Re:AFC and injectors question
thats the whole idea! by lowering the injectors that far on the safc you in turn lower the map voltage signal which tricks the computer into not seeing boost, which is good because that way you wont throw a code so just get the 450cc's

Re:AFC and injectors question
Yeah, I'm using the Link. Well, if the 450s will work with my Accord, then I'll get them. They work for other Hondas, and I'm pretty sure they all use the same injectors (240cc). So I guess I'll find some.
Does the hack work well with the stock pump, rail, and fpr?
