Opinions?

We are looking to offering 375cc injectors as part of all of the kits now. These are not RSX, Honda or Acura injectors. These are Accel, which are made by Denso (OEM) injectors. They are quite cost effective and I think will be an excellent added value to the Stage I turbo kit.

Sounds like a nice option. It seems some are complaining that the rsx injectors arent enough for the higher psi systems. But maybe even an option for even larger injectors wouldnt be a bad idea either

The RSX are 310cc, these are 375cc. So indeed, this will solve that issue.

I'de rather pay more for RC injectors. I know denso;s are oem and all but when boosting higher levels I would rather leave that to someone who has been proven over and over. How's the status on the larger fuel rails coming?

the LS2 and LS7 are N/A engines. N/A engines and boosted engines run better having different flow patterns. If you really want to do it right, you should get an injector with a specific flow pattern for boosted cars. This will help in long term, and RC has the best name IMO for this type of stuff. If I remeber right the RC webpage even explains all this. Not that I'm in the market for a turbo kit, but if I was pay extra for RC too.

You guys are referring to injector selection with respect BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption). On an N/A motor it is .50 lbs, FI will use ~.60 lbs.



As long as this equation is taken into account with injector selection & proper impedence, brand is just a name.

ok, how about this.

the accel injectors are extremely comparable to the bosch injectors, right?

The new Ford GT uses bosch injectors on its Twin screw supercharged motor

My opinion....regardless of brand, I wouldn't spend money on something smaller than a 400cc. It'll be a limiting factor, big time. Even for people who say "I will be happy with 200 hp or low boost," they never are. That's why I didn't even mess with rsx injectors.

that was concern of mine, but apparently 500cc SRT-4 injectors from RC fit our car. Someone posted them:

Injectors in general are direct replacement. These will be available VERY soon (1-2 weeks)

For those interested, you can run pretty much as big an injector as you want if you take the time to install a d16 intake manifold. I'm thinking of picking up a venom manifold for it....not sure yet, very expensive part.
