Fuel Injectors

[Hondavtec4208]

My brother has some 550CC injectors from his RSX that he is willing to give me. Will these fit as easy as the DSM injectors do?
Thanks,
Jordan

I dont think so, obd2 injectors work differently than obd1 injectors

[Hondavtec4208]

OOOO so that does matter? hmm.. well thanks

[90boostdaccord]

yea, it matters, obdII are virtually untunable

Back this up with some kind of fact if possible.

OBD2 injectors are saturated as opposed to the OBD1 peak and hold injectors. All that means is that they have different methods of doing the same job. OBD2 injectors will not work with an OBD1 setup because the OBD2 injectors do not use a resistor box.

To answer the original question, the RSX injectors are usable. Not ideal tho. You would need to do some rewiring, including the emision of the resistor box. On top of that, you would need a ECU capable of controlling this, Your best bet would be a Haltech unit which offers that kind of versitility.

I think ill just buy some DSM 450's Thanks for the feedback though

OBDI blue tops would be the smarter solution.

without a high dollar EMS it is virtually impossible to tune them. i assumed that he would be using Crome or Uberdata for EMS and there simply isn't and OBDII settings available yet (at least to my knowledge). if that's incorrect, then you my friend have caught me with my foot in my mouth.

besides, its way easier with some DSM 450's anyways

take the rsx injectors anyway and sell them to make the money for your DSM's

i don't understand please explain why u would have to have a diff. ems to control them the only difference is the resistance going to the injectors and a obd1 car can be converted to obd2 by simply by-passing the resistor box from my understanding and chiped ecus read both types of injectors hence thats why obd2 and obd1 cars both run on obd1 chiped ecus? so it can be done with chiped ecus and not a expensive ems right? plus on obd2 cars the chiped ecus and high impedance injectors tune just fine why wouldn't they on ours if converted? at least as far as i researched to convert are cars to obd2 injectors all u do is connect all the injecotrs wires that go to the resistor box to the power wire comming off of the resistor box which can be done with out cutting the harnes and making a few wires to jump the connection clip on the box. hard to explain but very simple if this is true from what i have read.

you cannot run an obd2 car on an obd1 ecu unless you have the conversion harness. they may be the same types of injectors, i.e. saturated or peak-and-hold. there is no freeware EMS that you are able to run an obd2 ecu with. its almost like your saying you can chip an accord ecu and your car will run mint, and if that's the case, let me get some info on that

[Hondavtec4208]

Ok I think you will all be happy now. Just bought these 450's

Backfire is implying all that. Same thing I was thinkiing. OBD-type should not matter.

[NAiL05]

As mentioned OBD does not matter. Saturated or non basically the difference. There is always a way you can run them. And what backfire said makes more sense.

[fast93accord]

well acutally, saturated injectors will work fine on a car with resistors. They will work fine.
On a peak hold setup u can use either peak hold or saturated. However on a saturated setup u can only use saturated. Without the resistors peak hold injectors will not work right on a saturated setup.
