I can get the RDX injectors brand new from Acuraautomotiveparts.org for 226 shipped.
But the S2k ones are 300 total. WTF?

LOL...$140 for a set of 4...we would go half on a set of 12 so thats 3 sets of 4...which is 420 for 12 injectors which leaves us @ 210 for a set of 6 a piece...i did some snooping behind pauls work and realized there was nothing wrong with my injectors...he hooked the power & ground for my esm to my injectors! i fixed it though...she runs like a beaut now

That's funny, I just got a new dremel too. I'm gonna test it out on the interior lens cover with some plastic polish and see if I can get em glossy.
yea i got it done...havin sum problems along the way...after i fixed the messed up esm wiring job, i was running good for about a day but i went to fill up & have been getting a CEL, codes P0172 &P P0170 Fuel Bank 1 Too Rich...so after doing some searching its one of two things PROBABLY...My esm connectiosn need to be soldered, which I am going to try first or my Fuel pressure is jacked. I'm going to try to get this fixed tomorrow
UPDATE:
I soldered the esm connections and the car runs so damn good!
@ WOT b4 the AFR was 10:1 but now the AFR is 11.5-12:1
@ 2K RPMS my AFR was about 10-10.5:1 now its about 14.5:1
no more surging and no more poor gas mileage...thnk God

after driving the car for a while the check engine light has come back on...i spoke with comptech and the seem to believe that the FPR is set too high...i will be getting on a dyno and having it adjusted soon...more updates to come
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
I installed a Fuel Pressure Gauge to the Fuel lines to get a reading on where my PSI was. It was fluctuating between 80-90 PSI which is way to high as Comptech set it to be between 36-40 PSI which explains why i was burning so much gas...so i tried adjusting in both ways and the PSI wouldnt even budge. It was pissing me off! I recieved some valuable knowledge over from the CL side saying to take the FPR apart and to rebuild it with new parts. Comptech said they could do it as well for $105.00 plus shipping but I didnt wanna have my car down for a week. So without directions or even knowing how to uninstall the FPR I went to tackle the job. Wasnt too hard to uninstall. But took some time. Once it was off i took it completely apart piece by piece seal by seal. Looked and everything (didnt know what I was looking for) and everything seemed fine. It was frustrating putting everything back together because some of the seal and plates would stay put. So I put a dab of gasoline on everything to make them stay and they did. So i finally had everything back together and reinstalled the FPR with the adjuster bolt all of the way out. Hook everything back up and remounted it and started the car. Fuel pressure read 20 PSI and AFR was 16-17 which was dangerously lean for boost. So i tried adjusting the FPR while it was mounted in that unreachable location. I lost 2 allen keys due to lack of space. (I have large hands.) So it dawned on me to unmount the FPR then pull towards a space with more room to work with then adjust it. Man that was easy. So I screwed the bolt in some and go to 30 PSI not enuff screwed it in some more and got to 35 PSI almost there. About 2 or 3 more turns and I was at 38PSI which was perfect. So i remounted the FPR and went for a drive and the car runs MUCH MUCH better now. I still technically have stock exhaust so I will be doing full 2.5" exhaust from the J pipe back with these components.

shut up you homo! :gheyfight: lmao...i will have pics and hopefully sound clips of the exhaust up tomorrow as well as some pics of an all black suede interior i did for another member on here.
I would post sound clips of the exhaust which sounded mean as hell I might add but Ive got some bad news. While driving on I95 a heard a loud noise and alot of smoke was coming from the engine. I pulled over to see a trail of oil from my car. I had it looked at and it looks as though the front mainseal blew out and cylinder 1 has no compression watsoever. Im pretty upset about it but I just dropped the car off @ the dealership PRAYING that it will be covered under warranty. Which it should be. I will give updates as I hear from Acura. Meanwhile here are pics of the "timeline".
Right before the tragedy!
Back to stock
Getting towed

fucking YAY...... im glad you don't have to pay and everything will be good again.gotta post sound clips of your exhaust setup.
I wonder if an NA motor would benefit from your exhaust setup.

IM BACK! Brand new motor is in a running like a dream. I got it back friday and havent gotten into VTEC yet. I wana break the motor in before I get lead footed with it but it feels very strong even at 3K rpms. Im taking it back to the dealership today because I can hear valves tapping and my PS pump is leaking but otherwise its in gr8 shape! Once I get it back I will post exhaust clips. And once the blower is back on I will post more sound clips.
I also threw on some Tokico Illuminas yesterday and it made a HUGE difference in handling!
