Stock Injectors

Just out of curiousity

I have been running a return fuel system, aeromotive adjustable fuel reg., walbro 255 fuel pump, stock injectors, and emanage to control it all. (having trouble controlling to some extent though) and I installed it all
Anyhow, I hit 6 psi in 3rd at full throttle and I stay in full green on the a/f (not a wb02 though) and it pulls hard (t3/t4b)....seems the stock injectors are fine for now....
anyone else have similar results?
where is the most common place to get the rsx injectors? I would like to run 8-10 psi

Narrowband is not accurate enough for tuning.

put a down payment on a wb02
the guage is nice to let you know what is generally going on but a palm pilot and a wideband is very very nice, much much much more accurate

The innovate LM-1 is only $350. It's pretty cheap for what it can do, especially down the road if you get any of the data aquisition boxes for it.

But is it good enough to just know if you're running too lean or too rich? I'm getting a simple kit that i don't think would need EXTENSIVE tuning since i'm only gonna be running a very mild 6lbs of boost

Yeah!! Lets spread more bullshit rumors on the forums that stock injectors can handle boost!!

The stock honda injectors are only good for what little power the car makes stock. The ONLY reason that YOU are able to make more pwer on your setup is because you are running an insane amount of fuel pressure to force more fuel through them than was intended.

Honda's injectors are fairly close to their max duty cycle at WOT stock. Hell, my RSX injectors read somewhere around 70% duty cycle at 8 pounds of boost....

Keep boosting on those injectors with no wideband CT and eventually you're going to fry your ringlands....
