Default Which injectors for ls Swap 10-12lbs turbo

Im planning on not getting crazy with the turbo i plan to put in. Im in the process of getting all my information together for what i have to do. A buddy of mines did the same thing and said he didnt use the injector resistor box instead he used injectors from another car that had internal resistors. If anyone could tell me how this works and what wiring i would have to do and from what car i could get them i would appreciate it. Or you could give me a link to where i could find this.
Also my car is a 89 civic lx sedan. Running a 91 ls b18a1

if you have a resistor box keep it, you'll have a larger selection of injectors. You should get at least 700-800cc injectors

Those suggested are kinda big for 10-12lbs, do you have plans in the future for building it? I would say RC 550cc's. And yes , keep your resistor box..

700CC should be all you should need but you should look in the forced induction forum you will get better answers.

i'd run DSM 450cc injectors with the stock resistor box. They are cheap and you shouldnt be above 80% on your Injector Duty Cycle

yeah but why have to buy injectors twice? when you know you will want more boost later. buy some 880's and have room to grow, it wont matter when tuned if you have 450's or larger ones

He said he didn't plan on going crazy. Plus you can get DSM injectors for $50-80 versus $200+ for the others.

Thanks for all the info. Anyone know if there is a good way to clean your old injectors? If i did get the 550's what ones would fit the b18a? Or hus send me a alink to the site that sells them. Ima search google later. Gotta go take wife to OBGYN... hahaha sucks for her. Scrap scrap
