Default how hard is it to

i was wondering since theres like alot of people doing it how hard is it to custom in the dsm injectors into the tc and what modifications. cause my other car my turbo'd b18c crx has dsm injectors and they basically fit right in. so i was planning on taking those out of my crx and putting them into my tc. so if some one can post a write up or something that would be great thanks.

Even if they fit and don't pose other issues, they're not going to produce any more power than the stock injectors without additional mods.

Right, you really only upgrade injectors to increase the amount of power they are able to handle.

just make sure they don't leak or your tc will be extra crispy.

I would assume you already have some form of forced induction setup, since you posted this in the FI section. Otherwise there is really no need for any bigger injectors. I don't have any personal experience, but hopefully some others with some know how will chime in.

Bigger injectors arent justified unless you get your motor to put out more power than the stock injectors can handle. So in this case, its pointless unless you go the F/I route.

hondas are known for the DSM injector swap with the resistor pack....especially the B18...do it right and get ones for the car. my friend knows someone whos XB caught on fire cuz he wired in TSX injectors (why TSX idn) but he learned the hard way...like shadow12one said "its not a honda" where you can put 2 350 cams in and make the damn thing run...

just wondering. i guess ill be opting for the greddu injectors set up with the emange and stuff. but yeah i already have a turbo set ready to go excluding injectors and emange but i guess imma go that route instead. one other thing does anybody know of anybody running the zpi auto trans valve body upgrade was really wondering if it was worth it or what.
