-Highly recommend getting OsideTiger fuel injectors
no more lag, no more rpms going up and down, faster uphill, designed for the d15z1 specs!
4 hole mist spray instead of the original 1 line spray
these are available for many other engines
better fuel atomization

DIY GPS tracker with geofence alerts for your car! Only $6.40 a month!
What's needed:
1. US Mobile prepaid get the sim kit
2. 12v to 5v converter with USB
3. gps-server.net account
4. Unlocked phone (preferably google phone, im using nexus 5x h790)
Setup:
1. Download gps-server.net tracking app
2. Disable all apps
3. Turn off auto sync, remove google account
4. Disable background data for all apps except for GPS tracker
5. Change charging code in fastboot mode to enable automatic phone turn on when power is connected to phone, so that if the phone battery dies, it will reboot as soon as car starts. (Google for the one line code)
6. Activate US Mobile Prepaid, use the black sim as it uses Verizon network, which has better coverage than the white sim which uses TMobile. Select data only plan with 100MB (gps tracker will use less than 3MB daily)
7. Setup your gps-server.net account with IMEI number, email alerts for leaving zone, etc.
8. You can use gps-server app to view live tracking or use the website mobile version
9. Wire the converter to 12v power line in car and stash it somewhere.
Costs:
1. US Mobile 100MB $4.98/month
2. GPS-Server account $1.42/month
3. Total: $6.40/month or $77/year
bringing back memories of my '92 back when I first bought it.
except you have a passenger mirror and are red to my teal. (and front corners, and duckbill, and I'm sure there are a few other mods that I can't see)
My HX rims got refinished. We removed the top paint and left the aluminum alone, we painted the inserts and the back of the rim black, I think the shop put on a decent amt of clear, or maybe its poly, but that thing stay bling.
a clean, (mostly) stock Civic hatch is harder to find than most people think. Last one I had was about 10yrs ago. Like an idiot, I sold it after swapping in a D16Z6. Less than a month later, the new owner wrecked it.

really interested in this. any chance you could post about any fuel savings?
also, I saw your rims for sale... why you selling?

fuel economey improved slightly! not much
the important thing is that these fuel injectors by OsideTiger change the performance of the engine by 500%. i am not kidding... i could barely make it up hills, had rpms go up and down, lag in acceleration. After installing these fuel injectors, it was like a factory engine 0miles! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Unfortunately the price is 150$ now on ebay . considering them still. I'm mainly going for fuel economy but better atomization couldnt hurt, especially during lean condition.
oh for your engine yea its 150, you wont be disappointed. let me know how it goes, if you do get them.
i would say 1-3mpg improvement. this isnt a miracle product where you gain 10mpg lol

the rims are my spare set, i have no use for them
I fail to understand how a fuel injector change increases performance and fuel economy on an otherwise stock D15B7 engine. Can you better explain please ???
The description of improved performance would also occur if defective/bad injectors were replaced with fully functioning injectors. I had the same improvement by replacing my original injectors with new injectors (stock type, aftermarket replacement SMP brand). At the age of our cars, the injectors being replaced by ANYTHING new would be an improvement.
d15z1, not d15b7. in addition to being new, i'm guessing the fuel coming from 4 holes vs 1 helps with the swirl under 2500 rpm, and being new will help with overall engine performance.

better atomization. one of the challenges of lean burn is getting the gas to ignite in a lean condition. I would imagine atomizing the fuel better would help with ignition when you are running lean

Did you say 500%? That's INSANE! May I ask: are there similar injectors for the d16z6 engine, and could I expect similar results?
Also I'm slightly jealous of your VX. Though it doesn't have AC, so I'm sorry about that.

they have one for your engine even a 12 hole spray version for your d16z6. only pros to this, no cons at all, and very very easy to install too!
i actually do have a/c. i have to recharge it with "MAXI FRIG 12a" bcuz my system is the old R12 system.
