maybe 450DSM injectors, you can easily find them for cheap off a turbo eclipse or talon

factory injectors will be fine with the Greddy Kit up to about 8 psi. anythign above that get at least 310cc. most people opt for the DSM 450cc (me) since its cheap and relatively easy to find. if your running the emanage that came with the Greddy kit then your fine with stockies. if you want to change your injectors, you'll have to re-tune the emanage or get a SAFC or VAFC and use the "hack" settings. best bet is a standalone but pricey and really is for higher boost levels. just depends on how much boost you want.

i run DSM 450's @ 7 psi daily (10 racing) w/ VAFC and its runs fine. as soon as i get a bigger fuel pump and bigger exhaust im gonna do 10 psi daily. anything really over 12 psi on the hack won't work... the voltage signal from the VAFC won't be small enough to prevent the PCM from throwing a code.

oh white smoke is normal with a new turbo kit... just the seals and the stuff inside breakin in. if it continues to do it then white smoke = oil burning (usually) so there might be a leak somewhere.

well the turbo was leaking oil from the sides and we started hearing a wisling sound from the intake that means the turbo gone. so the guy from the shop was very nice and gave me a new turbo. but now the problem is im running with no emanage or afc im only running it with a aem fuel pressure regulator, a t3 turbo, front mount, and a greddy blow off valve, when we put the new turbo in the oil was still leaking from the sides but its not as bad and the car was still blowing white smoke and when i hit 5.5 rpm my car like bog down and it wont go pass that i have no idea why is doing that we guess its because the fuel and need to be tuned. If u were in my place what would u get? im new in turbos and the guy thats doing it never did turbo for a honda b4. Should i get a fuel managment unit what a afc or something? or should i just stay with my fuel pressure regulator for now? and howmany psi can i boost with the stock internals and be safe?

please help because i really want my car out of that stupid shop and running ill post pictures of it asap.

your exhaust gasket ok? is there water in your exhaust? is the headgasket cool?

yeah b4 we ran the car with the turbo it was not smoking or noting it was running fine.

if the turbo is still leaking oil from the sides then that one is blown too. turbo's shouldn't leak oil. first thing you need to do is a get a new, reliable turbo that doesn't leak. second, GET SOME FUEL MANAGEMENT! thats the worst thing you can do is running without it.

if money is a concern, go with the AFC hack and DMS 450cc injectors. if you wanna low boost and stay with stock injectors, then get an emanage or even get a blue box of ebay or something. last case go with an FMU but they suck.

whatever you do do not run that car hard without upgraded fuel.

you mos def shouldnt be running a turbo kit with no management thats the stupidist thing ive ever herd.

quik sol

you guys act like hes running a full bar, 6 psi and no fuel management wont kill the engine...its not recommended but heck a cheap FMU off ebay and hes set....FMU's arnt the worst thing to use, theres alot of stuff you can do with fmu's and afc controllers.....me personally I use a vafc since I am going to be running 11 psi

quik sol

oh ya if you end up going the vafc and dsm 450cc injector route....get the injectors checked by RC first....don't want to be putting bad injectors in
