Thumbs up I have good news guys (injector related)....

Well, everyone has been on my about the RSX injectors - well I just attempted to install them this morning....They FIT! See the following photos:









They are a direct replacement. The only modification that is necessary is the mounting studs on the intake manifold spacer plate.......

Well - I didn't actually start the car with them in yet - because I want to wait until my turbo is in so that I can limp it to the tuner (titan motorsports) and have them tune it for me....don't want to risk blowing anything for the moment. I put the old ones back in for now....just wanted to see if they would even fit or if there were going to be clearance issues.

To clarify - I didn't have to splice anything - the RSX clips are exactly the same as the civic clips....

Since you are using the rsx-s injectors, could that also mean that someone could use the aem fuel rail on the d17 motor?

So with this discovery, is it necessary to convert to a returnless fuel system? Or do you still need to make a return fuel system? Mine come in today w00000h000!

Stock pump will still max out at a certain point. Even if you increase the voltage to increase output it will heat up and eventually fail.

I would still bypass the in-tank FPR and install a boost referencing FPR like opto's Drag Aeromotive FPR under the hood. And at that point I would need to convert.

I don't believe it would. It MAY work - however there are two things to consider.

1. The injector spacing for the K20 may be different than the D17, since it is a larger motor.

2. The AEM rail I saw over at the clubrsx forums still had the pulsation dampener in the center (ala the RSX-S style - the RSX has it mounted on the END).

So - the stock RSX (non S) rail MAY work if:

- There are no clearance issues since it may be a larger rail

and

- If the injector spacing is identical to that of the D17.

Yeah, they're called RC's.....RC makes a replacement for the RSX, but you still need to splice their clips to your wires for them to work - PLUS the clearance issue still exists....which is why I went this route to begin with, no modifications really necessary (except the mounting studs)....
