Default lsvtec question

ok heres the set up


Description

the block is a B18A1 fully balanced and blueprinted with the following internals: brand new USDM type-r pistons, shotpeened LS rods with brand new OEM rod bolts, polished/knifeedged crank shaft with new bearing, Spoon sports thermometer, Prodrive oilpump/gear, new water pump, Z10 block girdle. The head is a B16A1 head that was sent to http://www.dh-racing.com to get a full competition 3 angle valve job. the head is held together with ARP headbolts and topped off with Civic type-r cams and an STR cam seal. The head was diamond milled to ensure a perfect seal. the head gasket used is a Mugen triple-layered metal head gasket which bumps the compression up 0.4. on the exhaust side is a DC Sports 4-2-1 header stainless steeled and an OEM manifold that was ported to death to allow max airflow. everything is port matched to restrict nothing. the throttle body is a 72mm TB Dh Racing. also included are Skunk 2 cam gears.

so here are to questions-
first what injectors would you suggest
and would this setup be suitable to be a daily driver

Streetable? Definatley. Two things I noticed about your setup...

What kind of valvetrain do you plan on running? Nopefully not stock. Get some ARP rod bolts, you don't want those OEM bolts to give out at 8,000 RPM.

I'm running some 345cc OBD1 Prelude Injectors on my setup... The work great.

Well, I drove it from AZ to NC @ 4400 RPM with no problem.. I had my valvetrain break, so I bought a good valvetrain. You want ARP Rod bolts.

My setup as follows:
Cylinder Head: Ported PR3

Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
Prelude 345cc Injectors
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator w/ Fuel Pressure Gauge
Crower Dual Valve Springs
Crower Titanium Retainers
’00 ITR Intake Camshaft
Si Exhaust Camshaft
AEM Adjustable Camshaft Pulleys
JDM ITR Header

Block: B18A1
ARP Head Studs
CTR Pistons
LS Rods
ARP Rod Studs
Balanced LS Crankshaft
CTR Crankshaft Pulley
Toda Flywheel
