Who on this forum is runnin Emanage+RSX-S injectors as their fuel system for a turbo? Ok guys for those who have the sweet boost that i want soo much i need you to tell me if running emanage with rsx-s injectors and injector harness be sufficient for 9psi of boost. Tell me if it will work. Please dont flame and dont post stupid comments. thanks for all the help i get.
I am gonna be running the rsx injectors and the apex safc. At the moment i cannot afford the Emanage but once i can i am gonna upgrade. To answer your question i am pretty sure you can run 9 psi with that setup probably even more but 10psi your head gasket blows up. Check out the turbo f.a.q. its a sticky.

Let me help clear that up for you. 10psi and beyond you're passing a saftely threshold (sp?). If ur tuned properly (in the 11's for a/f) then its just risky, it's not nessesarily GOING to blow, just a possibility if ur tuning is off.
I have the emenage and rsx injectors with no return. But the SLP kit is def. a good investment if you plan on making power. I am def. gonn get one once I get the cash together. Jeff said the only tricky part is modifying the fuel pump cage. other then that it's pretty easy

Rep Power: 0 so is running just rsx-s injectors and emanage safe at like 7psi for awhile??... i'd wanna buy the full SLP return line conversion kit but it would have to be like 3ish months after i get my turbo installed... its either wait 3 mths for the turbo to get installed or wait 3 mths for the SLP return line conversion...

Sounds like a serial killer. Is that what you are?

I have been boosted for about a month now and no problems. RSX-S injectors, e-manage, return fuel system and larger fuel pump. It will handle 9 and under all day long. There is a thread somewhere on here that tells about how much the injectors will do. I think they seem to max out at 10 psi. I can't remember. Anyway it's a good setup.

has anyone tried using the rsx-s pump with this setup? does anyone know how many more cfm's it puts out over the civic fuel pump?

Rep Power: 331 the FAQ stickied thread in this forum has the link to the thread on how to do that. I think there are 2 nuts holding down the fuel rail, remove those and the studs. replace the injectors and bolt down the rail using long bolts instead of the studs/nuts.
to tell you the truth, i'm running mid 10's for psi, and it tapers off around high 9's at high rpm.
i didn't gain any from 8-9 psi, as i did from 10-11 psi. i started to get knock on the dyno, so i had to pull timing, putting me right back at the same horsepower/torque numbers.
I got stock internals, TSI kit with t25, emanage, rsx injectors. I'm running good a/f ratio, but the knock can't be avoided. my tuner and i are going to get numbers from higher octane, so we can add some timing in. as of right now, i had to retard (-8) at peak boost.
I ran 161 horse/173 torque. without adding octane, I'm stuck there. More boost=timing retard=same results.
I've got head studs to put in that I've already got, but from there, we'll see what happens.

Rep Power: 0 161 hp and 173 ft-lbs at around 10.5 psi?! No way! If so, that really sucks.
Your post is kind of confusing. You say you have a good A/F ratio but that knock can't be avoided? I don't get it.

Tell me about it...
The pump gas I'm running on is 92 octane. I was at 8 psi with these numbers, then approx. 10.5 psi with these same numbers because I had to retard ignition due to knock.
I'm not really sure where to go from here.
Any suggestions?
