Got my RSX-S injectors and fuel rail today

Rep Power: 811 You guys must all have converted to a return style fuel system I'm assuming if you plan on using those injectors. Check acura dealer for parts.
my friend that works at honda is on vacation.. he's the guy i got my ex head from for $200.. they were gonna charge me $600 if i didnt go through him... the rsx injectors are retunless systems...(or so i thought)

Rep Power: 811 The stock fuel pump will still max out at a certain point, making the extra flow capacity of the new injectors useless. You need an upgraded (and adjustable) fuel pressure regulator...and to run one of those you need a return style fuel system. Did that answer your question? 
You can play with the e-manage all day long, and eventually the stock pump will fail on you.

Rep Power: 511 i see. guess its back to the stock rail with the rsx-s injectors.
btw, if anyone could fine out the exact size for the bolts and spacers i will need i would greatly appreciate it.

Rep Power: 0 I didn't have the that fuel rail on my car
the Type S don't fit but i htink the regular one will
I had them installed on my stock one.
The reason you need the two spacers and the longer bolt is because the RSX injectiors and longer then the stock ones. When you install them just make sure you take the rubber o rings off
NOTE: AB, you dont have to take them off cause they aren't on yours. I already took them off. Taking them off is better them them coming off in the engine.
I never got to tune mine right but you can run 7 lbs with a SAFC and a upgraded fuel pump. I never even installed the fuel pump and had been running O.K.

I'm going to attempt putting my fuel rail / injectors on tomorrow possibly. If I have the bolts I'll see if I can look. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to take a pliers, take one of the studs out - and go to lowes / home depot and screw it into one of the size gauges they have there to tell you what size it is. I believe it is a 6mm. I think 1.25" for the length worked for me, not 100% sure right now. Make sure you get stainless steel bolts tho - otherwise it'll be a bitch getting them off later if you need to.

Rep Power: 0 you dont need to take out you stock ones to match them up!!!
they wont fit with the spacers
Use the screw i sent with you. I've been so busy lately that i didn't have time to go get one. I figured you rather have the injectors then have me put the shipping date off to a later time.
Take it to homne depot or pep boys and match it with another one

Rep Power: 0 yeh
it's not bigger
just longer
the stock one is threaded on both sides
one side screws in the block the other sticks out so a nut can be screwed on
the screw i sent you you just put two spacers on there and screw it in
