Look for blue top injectors. They will say 450 on the side of the blue plastic part [very small].

Look for a boosted 5-speed dsm.. I know they have the 450's in them but I dont know about any others..

Look at the bottom of the page below..

you can just use your stock clips if you have a 5th gen. civic.

Otherwise either of the DSM injectros will work. the AT ones have 390's.

You can run either inline resistors or just run a resistor pack, IMO wiring up the box is so much easier..

Use a resistor box, its much eaiser than soldering in those inline resistors..

I think it's easier to wire up inline resistors than a resistor box...

And it's cheaper, I bought my resistors for like $4 total or something. It's hard to find a resistor box for under $20 or so...

The only thing is... with the inline resistors the car has a hard time starting sometimes... I think the 10w 10ohm resist the current too much... at least that's what I read. Just something to think about. It doesn't bother me much but just something to consider.

As if you wanted another writeup on resistor box install , I've done one and it's on the Knowledge base...just search for 'resistor box'

Heh, if you find a 5sp dsm in the yard. Take the injectors, clips, sidemount IC and the turbo. You'll find buyers for that other stuff... and it'll cover the cost of the injectors.

I got my resistor box from the junkyard for $5.. If its a 92+ civic all the wires to put the resistor box in are already together in a terminated plug..
