Default RC injector question

Okay, so I bought a set of used RC 440cc injectors for my civic. I was told they are saturated so I can just plug them in place of my stock injectors. I'm installing my JRSC and these were the next thing to go in. Problem is, the harness plugs won't plug into them. My car is a 98 civic with a 97 integra gsr swap. So, its OBD2. I thought these injectors could possibly be for OBD1 but not sure. Does obd1 and obd2 have different plugs for their injectors??

Other question is, can I buy new seal kits for RC injectors?

here are some pics of the differences.

Okay, what kind of connectors do I get? OBD1? Also, how do I get new seals for them? Would a seal kit for a stock injector work?

Yes. Injectors are just solinoids that are either on or off. So they all have a 12v wire and a ground, it's just the clips that are different between OBD1 and OBD2.

just get the obd1 clips and solder them in. $50 for adapter harnesses is a little pricey IMO. as for the seals you can just get an oem injector seal kit (either from the dealership or napa)

Do you guys know if you have to put spacers under the fuel rail now that the injectors hold it up higher off the intake manifold?

RC's instruction sheet says that only d-seires should need fuel rail spacers. PM me your email and I can send it over if you want (PDF document)

I got the set in there and I'll for sure have to have spacers. I'm going to make some. They'll need to be around 14mm tall.

Sorry to revive an old post, but just wanted to mention you can just use obd0 connectors to run the RC Injectors or buy the EV1 clips. If you use the obd0 clips, all you have to do is unpin the obd2 clips from your harness and put the pins into the obd0 so no cut/solder is needed. Save the obd2 clips just in case you go back to stock.
