My Honda OEM injectors have about 30K miles on them. I'm upgrading my ECU to a hondata system before the 07 race season. Would it be worth my $$ to replace my injectors with new RC injectors? Any real gains from this? ...or do the OEM units work good. I would like to know what you guys think.

Not sure if you're aware, but what you're asking about is not legal for H2.

Maybe have RC just clean your stock injectors

If the engine is not heavily modified (meaning the engine is not running lean with the currents mods) the factory injectors are fine. Wouldn't be a bad idea to service the factory units.

O... ok, then never mind. OEM it is!

I thought JohnW used RC injectors in his H2 ITR motor... maybe I'm thinking of a different ITR motor.

 

Probably the difference between RC injectors and RC balanced OE injectors

Unless he changed them without my knowledge, his injectors are stock. (That motor came out of my ITR prior to the K installation.)

 

If you are not over your duty cycle, their would be no real benefit to switching from OEM to Aftermarket injectors. However, a lot of people have RC perform their standard service of cleaning, balance, flow test etc... Check it out under their service offered.

Nope, not my ITR.

I did have RC clean and *balance* (if thats the right term) the injectors on my black H5 car way back in 02. If memory serves me, they sent them back all cleaned up with a dyno chart or something included. I think it was money well spent.

Maybe Mr. Park can further explain what RC offers?

BTW- Walt your lude is plenty fast!

 

Kinda of a related question ... One of my injectors stopped working. When I put a dial on it, it doesn't read anything. Do you know what causes that? Also, can it be fixed? FYI, the injectors where service recently not by RC but by Marren Injector service.

 

It always helps to have balanced injectors. With smaller flow ratings it's not that huge of a deal, but the ECU is just telling the injectors (all 4 of them) to be open for X amount of time at this point. With unmatched injectors the 4 seperate cylinders can be running slightly different A/F's.
