Are you talking about the JDM F22B DOHC? Because unless it has a head swap, I can't say I've ever heard of a common F22Bx having a DOHC head. One of these?

Anyways, why would you upgrade to a smaller injector? (Unless this thing is upgraded heavily with new injectors) the stock ones should be fine and I would search otherwise to find your crappy gas mileage culprit. Maybe an issue with the EGR being dirty, clogged fuel filter, old plugs/wires/cap/rotor, running the incorrect fuel type, etc. Or heck maybe even your stock injectors need a good cleaning.

AEM rails and regs are fine, people have been using them all the time with good results. You should also invest in a new fuel pump if you are deciding to go all out with the fuel system. Anything fuel related is pricey, something that should be taken into account.

Well you obviously have an issue somewhere, what size are your current injectors? Your fuel lines should be perfectly fine as they sit.

Has your car been tuned to compensate for the larger injectors?

Your stock ones should be more than enough for just I/H/E. Unless you have some mild cams then you may consider getting some bigger injectors. I have a set of DSM 450cc injectors in my setup.

then why did you buy a stand alone engine management system and why do you want to upgrade the fuel system? Honda builds all their cars for fuel economy, if you just want to save gas, put it back to stock

It gets 20 miles stock
The way I got the system now it goes 28 I'm trying to do better than that
As for your question about why I bought the ems an upgraded everything
There Is not a single manufacturer that builds a car to my liking if they did I wouldn't have a need to **** with it and make it better

If your Accord was getting 20mpg stock there is something definitely wrong with it.

put it back to stock and find out the issue causing it to use so much gas, Honda spends millions of dollars trying to get every last MPG out of their cars, you are not going to out engineer them on that, something is wrong causing it to get 20 mpg
