most people do that just to get the "extra 25hp" from "vtec". sure it might flow better but what kind of power are you looking to put down. being as you have a stock bottom end, it will max out at 200-220 before you start breaking stuff. you can do that with that turbo you have easily. in my opinion i rather keep the non vtec head on a single cam. but if you want to put that head on there why not throw some rods and vitaras while you are at it? then lay down some better numbers.:D

ok you make a point, if i ever rip the head off, it will be to rebuild the engine for more boost,

im looking to make 200out of it, first gear max boost at redline is about 5psi, second hits 8 pounds around 3.5-4k ish rpm. Im trying to figure out how to get it to spool up quicker, i already checked my cold piping 3times to see if its leaking boost, i need some insight on troubleshooting this ----

most of that lag will get better with a tune. also a free flowing exhaust, 2.25" all the way back should be plenty for the power you want to make.

im having problem with my 270cc injectors.. one of them is not working properly..

i just mustered money out of my ass for a tunable chip... and im wondering if the stock injectors would hold up 8psi or not? any input would be great...

this makes me miss my old rex, gl gettin it fixed and tuned

I'm about to scout the local wreckers tomorrow morning in hopes i find myself another set...

If it were me I'd get a set of 390cc injectors AT LEAST. I'd definately rather have too much than not enough if you know what I mean. Get a set of injectors from a 89 Dodge Colt GT turbo or a 90-94 Eclipse turbo automatic (390cc) or manual (450cc). Trust me when you get a tune they'll tell you to upgrade the injectors. This makes me miss my 89 CRX too...:(

I would agree with ^^^.

You can go with DSM 550's.

I got a set for my build for under 100 dollars.

well i spent the whole last week looking for some 450cc's or anything else i could get my hands on that was cheap.. finally tomorrow hopefully i will get a set of dsm's i found them on kijiji.ca for a 100 smackers,


Last night i ended up going to the track by using my stock civic injectors, i waited long enough to build it and couldnt resist not going. Just as i get to the track my wastegate connector to the flapper of the exhaust decided to loosen itself and fall off on the way there :( So without knowing this(me being stupid and not glancing at my boost gage) i ran 15.77 with 0boost.. lol...
