Which S/C Members here are running Stock Injectors?
Just wanted to know the number of people who did not upgrade their fuel injectors.
The performance shop thats planning to tune my car said to me "we will not touch your car with the stock injectors, its just going to blow up".
So who here has tune their cars successfully with Emanange and the stock injectors?
Is it possible to run Intercooler and HBP with the stock injectors?
I know some guys run the oem AP1 Injectors..
I found this on Ebay; AP1 440cc injectors; what do you guys think?

dam..isn't that alot of strain on the injectors? no detonation?

Over two years now with the HBP on the SC. I'm using just a simple fuel map on e-managment and nothing more but I do have the IC. Anyway, stock injectors are still working for me.

the stock injectors are pretty good. anything past the HBP they cant handle but for piece of mind you could easily run s2000 injectors and not have to worry about the injectors until u hit over 20PSI which wont happen with a SC. I'm running the standard boost pulley and stock injectors and its getting more than enough fuel.

My friend gave me an emanage blue brand new. So once i plug it in theres a basic fuel map i can run off of?
if not; once i plug in the boomslang is it safe enough for me to drive it to the tuners? i'm new with the piggy backs...thanks alot for your help guys (=

didn't know we had to tune and get hbp to even hit the 300whp mark.

I had my HBP installed when I still had the Comptech ESM in. I didn't get the Emanage installed and tuned until a few days later, so you should be fine.

the e-managment doesn't come with any map already loaded it will be up to you and or your shop to come up with ones that work for you....basically you will have to tune it for your car. If your lucky your shop might have already tuned on a CL with the set up your going for or maybe one of the members on here might be willing to sell you their map. This would give your tunner a starting point and save you time and money on the dyno.

well no, 6speed has bout 305WHP with stock S/C pulley [3psi] which means 369HP at crank.
HBP and tune will get you 320-325WHP [5-6psi] 387-393HP crank
if you go 8-9psi and IC you will see very close to 400WHP. ~480HP crank
but why? just get thinjim's turbo kit if you want 400 or more. I think the 320whp mark is perfect/on the high side for this car...if you want insane power, sell your CL now.
sorry cant answer bout injectors tho but i think you got enough above...

I just ordered a set of coils from the dealer and a brand new set of plugs. Since i have to take out my blower to check the plugs, isaid to myself why not just change the coils while im at it lol. not bad; $230 for all 6 shipped. So..we'll see from there.
As for the injectors; people running the HBP with the stock injectors are brave!1s
can our stock 40psi injectors handle an extra 60+psi?

A shop here in Crestview, Fl called Adams Automotive.
I don't know where 01white3.2 is getting 400whp from cause I'm pushing 345whp with an 11.5/12 AFR. Like I said over two years now with no problems. I've been told that with a little more turning I could possible see 375whp but might sacrafice reliability.

im going pull up my plenum and gutt it out; from my understanding all we do is stick a q-tip through the port right?
another note was; i pulled out my cylinder one spark plug and it had a whitish finishl indicating it is running lean. my car also has a very slight miss at idle. I dont know why my car would be running lean. all you guys seems to bgetting enough fuel with ur setups on stock injectors.
should i just throw on the ap1 injectors and call it a day?

For most of us, I don't think reliability and 400whp on stock internals can be used in the same sentence if you're using the 400whp regularly. I think 400whp is definitely achievable but my feeling is that it will shorten the longevity of the motor. I also think that it's on the upper limits of what the stock motor can take and anything that goes wrong can ruin the motor.

If you've got one of his setups, it's the way to go though. It'll give you more margin of safety. Your 350whp will be easier on the motor than my 320whp just because the aftercooler will pull alot of the heat out of the boosted air and we all know heat kills.

I know heat will raise the resistance of the coils temporarily i've tried it with a heat gun and a voltmeter set to measure resistance. Im going to test those same coils again now and see if they sustained any permanent heat damage that would not allow the resistance to go back dow to stock levels after it cools down.

[QUOTE=Harrisonk531616]what do you mean unside down intake manifold cover?
i mean, the upper cover gasket may be installed wrong. There is supposed to be a gasket locating tab sticking out on the gasket at the throttle body end of the intake manifold after u take off the engine bay cover. If there isn't a tab that means the gasket was installed upside down and needs to be replaced.

[QUOTE=krisdlm]
i see my tabs....maybe the gasket is bad; cause i pulled off the i/m multiple times during the s/c install; beacuse i had the spacers and had to remove everything.
so the verdict is im running lean; and i dont know why but im guessing injectors..
$120 each for the s2k ones; should i do it guys?

put my stock pulley back on..
another factor could be the P2R intake plenums? could it be that its holding more air in the Intake manifold?
sidenote for SIRSIG; you have one bad ass accord; done up very nicely.

reading all these problems makes me really relieved. I was keeping a secret from you guys all along, but I'll just say it now: I was supposed to buy a 6speed CL no navi S/C'ed to 303Whp and the guy had HBP in hand. it had 60,000miles and he wanted $15,000. It just fell through b/c he had a CEL problem...
now my plan is to keep my 2001 CL-P [CAI/H] until at least 200,000miles and in about 4 years buy an NSX w/ the CL as a winter beater...im serious guys, stop laughing!
but thanks for all the info...ive been obsessed with the CL for 2years, and i guess upgrading isn't so easy...so ill stay how i am.
o and lastly, good luck on all your guys setups who are having problems!

i had the exsact same idea as you,s/c my car, but after recently hanging around some nsx's, ive decided to stop spending money on my car and save for an nsx, see you on nsxprime in a few years buddy
