If you use the stock seals you will have to bore them out a little for the injectors to fit right. I dont know about the DSM seals though.....

I used my stock Honda seals, no problems whatsoever.

so you guys are saying that i don't need the seal that came with the injectors which can be seen on the pic?

red x.... i have dsm 450 just bore your stock seals and they should work... but make sure not to bore them to much.. or you might get a fuel leak... for the ones that you show on the pics you don't need those

no..take it off or its gonna endup falling into the intake manifold most likely and then into the engine..

Do this. DO NOT USE YOUR STOCK SEALS.

1. Injectors seals: Napa sells an injector seal kit that contains seals for Civics and Integras. Because I have a Civic, the taller Integra seal works out perfect for me! If you don't need the complete seal kit, just go to Acura and buy only the bottom seal, or try to find some taller seals that have the same outside dia.


2. Bore out the bottom seals: I find it much easier to bore out the seals with a Dremel and do it in the manifold. I simply use a stock manifold that I have sitting around and use it to hold the seals. It only takes seconds to bore each seal!


3. Finished product: If done properly (which is extremely easy), it will look like stock.


4. Injector tip protruding distance: This is the good part. With the properly selected bottom seals, the injector tip protruding distance in the manifold can be the same as stock and still allows the injectors to sit flush on the seals! Btw, the injectors should go on the seals with slight friction.

Stock injectors with seal.


DSM injectors with taller seal.


5. Installed DSM injectors: The injectors fit very nicely in the JRSC intake manifold with the taller seals.


Here's a closeup, nice and flush!

So-- I guess you'll never know how it fits, until you have your injectors, and you're looking at the manifold, correct?

Edit: And how much do you need to bore out??

Thanks for the love guys, but I can't take credit for the write up. I can't remember who did it, but yes, it does kick ***. They will work for a B series, infact, those seals are for a B series motor. Use a dremel with their standard sanding tool, just like the one in the pic. Its exactly the correct size. Try not to mess up. Those seal kits are like $8 bucks a pop. Its the only good way to run DSM's.

If you don't have a spare manifold, I've got a couple. ****, you can have the extra Y7 mani I have for free. Just pay for shipping.
