redlineracing... May I be the first one here to welcome you to the turbo community (everyone forgot their manners) and mention that if you're planning on hunting down WRXs and SRT-4s you're going to definitely need bigger injectors... and probably should consider running up to 9 psi or so after fuel mods and a good controller. Even those of us with working cars (not me) running 5 or 6 psi are hard-pressed to break the 200whp barrier. But, with a solid fuel system and tune, running 9-10psi should put you where you want to be as far as keeping up with your buddies - somewhere around 200-220whp.

Also - you're going to eat your stock clutch for breakfast. Plan on replacing that and a flywheel while you're in there.

Good post Paul, those are some good injectors. Deatsch Werks 525cc jobbers, direct drop-in like the RSX-S and SRT-4 ones. In fact those Deatsch injectors are the same body as the SRT-4s and take the same clip.

RSX-S injectors = 310cc
SRT-4 injectors (the Stage 1s) = 577cc

You would just need clips from Dodge to get them to work. You can either get them new (Paul sells them for about $60 for the set shipped) or you can go to a pick and pull and pull the clips off a Neon or most other 4-cylinder Chrysler vehicles. Just take an injector with you to make sure it fits. Wiring is simple. Just make sure you're consistent in which color wire goes to which side when you wire them in. It's really easy.

Paul... you should get a thread stickied detailing out several price stages of turbo kits and links to all your products... like for example include links to the fuel parts, etc. I know you have the pull-downs on there, but I think for first-time searchers on this site they might not know the importance of the different parts for the D17.

I very clearly remember 4 years ago as a newbie just thinking "lemme slap a turbo on this bitch" and calling it a day. $7,000 later and I STILL need a working fuel controller.

Sounds good! I will post the mother of all posts for it now. Might be a while before it's done though. LOL

FYI im selling DeatschWerks 650CC injectors with clips in my FS thread $200 shipped.

LogicWavelength · 02-07-2008

God damnit that's tempting. I am swearing to myself to just keep the RSX-S's and tune for 5 psi due to the mileage I rack up... but God DAMNIT that would be nice as long as I'm redoing my fuel management...

ronaldo9 · 02-07-2008

NO, NO, AND NO. You're not buying anything else UNTIL you get a wideband.

LogicWavelength · 02-07-2008

Haha... I know. And even after that. This thing is staying a 5 psi car for the forseeable future.

redlineracing · 02-07-2008

hey guys need some real quick help if anyone is on , i just came across a greddy emanage ( damn near brand new ) with support tool for 100 bucks , if anyone read my previous posts i do need something for fuel management, would u recommed greddy emanage or stear clear? thanks guys

ronaldo9 · 02-07-2008

Emanage can do the job but it's not the best. If you can find a good tuner you can have a safe setup but if you can't then you may run into driveability issues etc. I'd get PCS or AEM F/IC but if you're on a tight budget Emanage is fine and most tuners are familiar with it.

tuningmycivic · 02-07-2008

if you plan to tune and leave it alone for a while, i don't see why the emanage would be a bad deal. like ronaldo said though, it's not the best at what you're asking it to do, but if money's tight (as it always is with us, we drive civics and not even good ones for crying out loud

) it'll do the job ok. def get a wideband though.

and send Logic the link so he can finally get one....
