because i wanna bump the shot and i need more fuel. As it is...the n2o system i have hooks up to my stock injectors in order to provide more fuel that way...since it's a dry system.

And i DSM injectors i'm not sure i wanna "modify"

I heard somethin bout other cars we can take em off of..but i need to know if anyone else has heard of this.

i read on a Honda Tuning magazine that you can use Ford Racing injectors and they fit, but i don't know if that was just for the B16 and D16 engines......

You need to find impedence ratings and flow rates and compare them to stock. Ford injectors are used in many high flow applications, but you should also be able to use S2000 or NSX injectors. I'm not sure of the ratings on them though.... Contact a Honda tech or one of the shops that sell them and they should be able to tell you.....

Beware, larger injectors usually cause cold start up issues, although I don't know if others are having this issue without adding a FMU....

You also have to be careful, because bigger injectors will also cause your car to run richer all the time. You shouldn't need them if your N2O
kit is NX. Their jets are a little fuel rich.

shes running a venom setup not nx. ive never seen nor used a venom system so im not 100% sure how they operate, but i know that i could use jets from a nos kit on my zex kit if i need more fuel than the largest jet in the zex kit. if that didnt make sense, im saying that the jets are interchangable between teh manufacturers, so it may be the case with your kit as well, if it uses jets. otherwise maybe contact venom and ask them if they have anything that will allow you to add more fuel.

your best bet would be to swap to a wet kit. Then you won't have the injector problem of the car not liking the bigger ones off the bottle.

If you buy more piggy backs then your just spending more money. You can easily sell that venom and buy an NX to run that 75 shot.

here is what you need to know to upgrade:

What fuel pressure does the stock system work at?

What is the rating of the stock injector and at what PSI?

Are they low or high impediance injectors?

Are they peak and hold or saturated.?

Once you have that info, you can make a safe judgement on a new upgrade, spdrcrchk has an AFC to control the injectors off bottle so she should be good to go with bigger injectors, 75 shot and dyno
