there's definitely something not quite right about that if no one has bid on those in 6 days... and the price makes it seem as if they're not working... ask the buyer for better pics and more info. also, what CC are they?

well I got a set for 45.00 from crsx. alot of people there sell cheap because they think they are just junk and nobody can use them. You won;t be able to use the rail but the injectors yes.

well I am only running 8psi but with the stock fuel pressure it will max out my rsx injectors. But it would be good for you seeing as how the tsi comes with the extra injectors in the charge pipe.

you will need an emenage to take advantage of the injectors though. the tsi unit only controlls the additional injectors in the charge pipe, I think.

2K1Civic17"Gabe is an unknown quantity at this point
The Unit does controll the extra injectors. If you are still using their setup, you do not need to upgrade with those. If you are gonna be using emanage, return fuel, fuel pump or whatnot, than upgrade. If youre planning on using their unit, I wouldnt do it, IMO. The extra injector block on the IM, can handle up to about 14psi reliably. Only thing with running more than 13 or 14, you can have some gas pool up in the motor. Since it just sprays it in the IM. I would upgrade to emanage from SLP (vendor) for 100 more. Definately the best deal you can get. If that was going on when I bought my kit, I woulda done it in a hearbeat. You cant adjust timing or anything with TSIs unit. There is something that says the unit adds mroe fuel to compensate for timing. . That wont do anything for timing, its just makes the customer feel better about not blowing their motor. If your gonna run more than 5psi, I would want to adjust timing. Mine cant be adjusted, but if my motor blows ill get a new one. Its running nicely now, and I barely go over 5lbs. sometimes, but its still tuned up to 11psi. I am extremely happy with my kit, and it took a weekend to install (like a month ago) I have the TSI extreme with a T25 (M24) turbo

Hope this helped. Good luck.

Peace


That was confusing, but what I mean - TSIs unit WILL NOT control the injectors you are currently using, nor will it control the RSX ones. TSIs are wired up to their black box (computer thing) and the positive battery cable. Thats how you control them, it has nothing to do with the stock injectors. I think that helps with daily driving though, when your not stepping on the gas much, it drives like stock since the fuel is set the same still plus the new injectors which only add fuel under boost.
