if you give yourself more fuel.........then you will run rich. You will then lose power. You will have more power when you run in a lean condition.

BTW...........stock injectors are more than enough to supply sufficient amount of fuel compared to your mods.

OBD II's are a wonderful thing

yeah, you are so totally right. If more fuel is better, why don't you just contact RC injectors and tell them to make you some 1600cc injectors for your stock civic. Better yet, go order 2 more fuel cells and 2 Inline pumps to pump all that fuel into your engine....because like you said, more fuel is more power.

If you come on here looking for help, don't argue with the people who no more than you do. Your stock injectors are not even maxed out on the duty cycle, so why the hell would you want bigger ones for a stock civic engine. You act like we have 8 liters of displacement. Yo douchebag, we drive a 1.7 L SINGLE overhead Cam engine...designed to be an economy car.

So go ahead, get some bigger injectors. I'm sure somebody will put to good use your wasted money.

yeah, you can adjust the fuel curve with the vafc.......but depending on mods, not really worth it IMO.

that is such a general statement. its relative to the ratio. u can add all the damn fuel u want, but if u dont add any more air, ull be worse than stock. so your wrong in thinkin that u can just add more fuel and wham instant power, if it was that way we would all be doing it. wrong forum too BTW

I dont mean all the fuel you want just a little more fuel like if i got rsx injectors wouldnt i gain more power because i am adding a little more fuel i know if you add a **** load you will screw yourself over. Right now i saw tunerz on the speed channel they got a stock civic lx put full exhaust,intake, venom control module and venom injectors that add 10% more flow and it helped them a lot the civic went .8 faster than stock

Venom control module = Crap

Your stock fuel setup can handle an exhaust and a intake, because it won't do much for you on a D motor. 10% larger injectors would be 260cc to 270cc thats smaller then rsx-s injectors and if you were to put 260-270cc in that would be a waste of money there almost the size of stock ones. If you don't want to waste your money buy some bigger injectors and don't put them in untill you have a reason to (aka: turbo).

Because 10% is nearly stock size. 10% is just a waste of money, same with a Venom 400. Trust me your stock fuel will handle a exhaust and a intake.

A ACT Flywheel and clutch would be a good idea. Particularly if you want to do a turbo soon. Venom 400's suck A long time ago i had one, and it did nothing.
