Default Are my Injectors Saturated or Peak & Hold?

I have an H23 (92 Prelude non-vtec) Ive heard alot of mixed answers.
and RC Engineering is taking to long to e-mail me back.. so hook me up.
Also, should I send in the stock 290's to be re-balanced or just get some 410's????
*I have a Turbo'd (7psi) auto H23a

well I tried to buy some RC' 310's from my friends Civic Si and they wouldnt fit right into the manifold. They were too fat at the tip.
Either way.. how much you want for them? And how big is that exhaust your selling?

RC injectors aren't supposed to slide "in" like stock injectors, they sit up on top of the seals. If you buy them new from RC they come with a little instruction sheet that tells you about that.

The 4G Prelude should have peak-and-hold injectors. It was Honda's one exception to converting everything to saturated with OBD1.

You can easily tell by using an ohm-meter on the injector contacts. ~3 ohms is peak-and-hold. ~10 ohms or greater is saturated.

again with the mixed answers. Peak & Hold or Saturated.. the debate continues.
*I wonder if I should just send in my factory injectors to be balanced??? or should I save my money for bigger injectors?

Why don't you get out a meter and test them? It's so simple and will alleviate all of your confusion.

All prelude injectors from 92-96 are Peak and Hold (yes, I said 96, they were peak and hold too even though it was OBD2 crazy honda! )....easiest way to tell is look for the silver resistor box, it should be up in the very top-right of your engine bay if you're looking from the front of the car. If you want bigger injectors and have a way to tune the fuel, get some 450cc injectors from a turbo DSM and send them to RC Engineering for cleaning/flowtesting ($100).....

Are you 105% sure? when i ordered my injectors from RC eng they told me mine were saturated and sent me the 440cc saturated ones, and this was a year ago... you might want to call up RC engineering JUST to double check on this... (310) 320-2277

well guys i just got off the phone with RC engineering and i have this topic cleared up. Whoever i spoke with last misinformed me, the 94 Si runs a low resistance peak and hold injector with a resistance of 2.3-3ohms. They also informed me if you were to run a saturated injector (12-16ohms) it would run fine, which is why i never had problems running the 440cc saturated injectors before. Anyways, there is the 411 on that topic for you guys.
