Which type of injectors are best for boost?

peak and hold will be more precise. You'll need a resistor box for them though.

It doesn't work that way. Saturated injectors are only reliable up to a certain size (usually about 550cc). Higher flowing injectors need to be peak/hold.

I believe you can get RC's up to 750 saturated...correct me if im wrong.

Let's say I wanted some 310s....

Should I get saturate or peak/hold

be careful who gives you advice on this site....

what year is your car ? newer hondas use saturated injectors that do not require the addition of a resistor box.....

the reason people run peak and hold injectors are that most large injectors come in peak and hold whcih DO require a resistor box.....

if you measure the resistance of a saturated injector it will be about 12-14 ohms
peak and hold will have about 2-4....

if you run a peak and hold injector wihtout a resistor box you will fry the ecu ...

peak and hold injectors also run cooler which is another reason high flowing injectors are all peak and hold.... that precise bullshti the other ugy mentioned is esactly that ...bullshit

Yes make sure you get that resistor box. I got mine at a junkyard for like 5 bucks. Off of an older crx. Shoot me an offer I dont need them.

I've got a '99 EX Civic. I am going to be running 6 pound of boost on it in about 1.5 weeks and I would like to bump it up to 10-12 psi with tuning. What should I get?

You'll need atleast 550cc injectors. 550's are good for 350whp. If you plan on making more hp in the future then I would get the rc750 saturated injectors. The rc 750s should be good for 450whp.

What engine do you have in your car?

I would definitely avoid the saturated RC 750's... If you want anything over 550, I'd get peak/hold.

For anything less, get saturated. No need to fool with a resistor box if it's not necessary.

yeah let us know your power goals. that will detemine the size of injector you will need.

also for your 99 obd2 car you will need to install obd1 style clips for the injectors to plug into.

I've read some stories here about them failing.

Plus, RC is the only company I know of makes sats that high. I'm guessing there's a reason for that.

so if your only plannin on running 440's or 525's the saturated ones will work fine? sorry for asking this question in your thread, but im in the same spot you are with the injectors

I don't see why he needs at least 550cc.

I'm running DSM 310cc P&H low-impediance w/out a resistor box in my 95 EX. I'm running 10psi on a small turbo making around 200hp.

I don't think such an injector exists. If it did, and you were running it without a resistor box, your ECU would be dead within minutes.

I was told they were 310cc P&H. They've been in the car since the summer. Zero problems so far.

i've had some issues tuning the saturated 750's. there a real pain in the *** at low duty cycles IMO. and i know im not the only one who think this. The largest saurated injector id buy would be a 550cc

When all is said and done, I'd like to be putting about 220 to the wheels with forged internals. Let me know if this is out of reach with OBD2.
