Default AEM fuel rail and pressure regulator?

im lookin to get an AEM fuel rail and pressure regulator, but im wondering, without a turbo or anything, will it just make my car run rich and blacken the spark plugs? or will that just happen with larger injectors?

It may make it more rich, but this gives you a better opportunity to have it tuned. It also will make it easier for whoever is tuning it to do what you are paying them for.

if your engine is stock, its pretty much useless unless your current ones are f-ed up

You'll be wasting your money on those items. If you want to have your fuel pressure tuned you can use an inexpensive B&M unit and a gauge, but if you're planning on adjusting it yourself without a dyno or wide-band O2 sensor, I would recommend against that.

if you just have a intake, and your car is hesitating, you have a different problem then low fuel pressure.

the parts you are thinking about getting are useless to you. They will probobly make it run worse. those parts are allmost $400 retail correct. there are a ton of parts that would serve you better for that kind of money.

suggestions- nitrous kit, cam + cam gear, header, cat-back, intake manifold, just to name a few.

good luck. have fun.

I'd spend the money on a good header rather than the IM or TB.

Like every one else said it's a waist of money unless you have some serious HP.
A good header would be nice then get IM but I wouldn't get a aftermarket TB just talk to this guy and will make your stock one better. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=771875
