groupbuy seems to have everything im looking for...im getting the injectors (440s) soon but they also have eagle connecting rods ($349 set of 4) and JE/SRP pistons (JE $475, SRP $379)...are these good prices? i want to know what i should expect from going with this set-up and if it's even worth it??? right now i have the in-line pro headgasket but if i am gonna do it im gonna get the 9.0:1 compression pistons and put a factory headgasket in place...i wasn't really gonna do this now but if the prices are good i will take advantage of it if it's worth the $$$$$...next thing you know they'll have hondata on there and i'll be straight up fuct later.

naa when i get 440s i'll run 10psi or so...but i wanna make sure i can supply the fuel first, 7 is just me being conservative right now...when i go to the track on friday im gonna run some race gas and 9psi...after i get the injectors i'll ask the board what kind of boost i can run with my set up...right now im just putting the car together and then i'll tune and set max boost, and yeah i am running the vortech FMU that was supplied with the kit...later.

with the 440cc u need a 5:1 fmu disk thats what i got and used the afc to tune them down at low rpms

DLB1994

u have a in-line pro headgasket right now and u only runing 7psi

Hey B17a, I have a B17 as well and Eagle doesn't make "off-the-shelf" rods for it....unless the sources I have are wrong.

You'll have to go custom.

yeah i only run 7psi because im sure the stock injectors are near their limit...i asked but no one could really tell me what kind of boost i could get away with...later.

DLB1994

what kind miles are on your motor

B17aTrbo

89k miles on the motor in the car and 95k on the spare...

DLB1994

just get some injectors and boost up and later get some rods and pistons

B17aTrbo

we are going to hook up zex nitrous kit @ 75 shot and turn the boost to about 12psi (or more) and see how many runs i can get out of this motor...

Your stock rods should handle 300hp no problem with good tuning. Endyn doesnt make H beam rods for the B17 yet, but I bet if you call up T.O.O he could tell you a long story about when he will be making them.

Also a note, You will need to get your bottom end balacned after you installed Steel rods and Forged pistons since they are all differnt weights from your O.E Cast Pistons/Rods.

450cc injectors on a stock Prom? No way Not even with a FMU, you will get 14mpg, foul plugs and run very rich 0~8 psi. Trust me you will hate it!, I ran 380cc injectors with a FMU and I couldnt handle it. FP was even turned down to 20psi at idle just to keep my eyes from burning. The only way you are going to run a large set of injectors and daily drive this is with the Hondata system. Or Zdyne if you have a 88-91 CRX/Civic

thats what the s-afc is for tune them down

If i were you i would go some stand alone fuel management system. You should look into Accel DFI, or Haltech. You might as well do it once and then forget about it.
