i'm building a y7/y8 minime for my ek coupe.
i'm picking up a 70mm throttle body and a port and polished intake manifold. ill be using the stock y8 fuel rail but i found a set of 311cc green top injectors for a good price.
my main question is does the stock y8 have high impedance injectors, i read the injector article and that's what i got out of it. so i should be ok using these green tops which are high impedance? plug and play?
i'll be using the stock ecu (for now) and i have another set of stock injectors so incase its too much i can swap back to stock, but before i put money down i wanted to be 100% sure that the y8 has high impedance.
thanks!

 

I believe Hondas in general are high impedence.

Do not run bigger injectors on a stock ECU which is calibrated for smaller injectors. The car will not run correctly.

 

gotcha!
forgot about that, i'm going to purchase them, find a resistor box (turns out theyre low impedance) and run the stock one's until i get to tune it. (hopefully i can use UTI's dyno and tune it myself in about 6-7 months! hah!)

 

What are you planning on tuning with?

 

no idea. plans are to get it running correctly first.
ive heard good things about hondata and the tuning program chrome??
but when i do, i'll prolly use a p28 and a jumper or just get my obd2 ecu chipped by jet or something.
honestly im not sure if i want to go with a6 pistons and ls rods or keep the y7 pistons and just go turbo. probably more bang for the buck to go turbo but i would want to use forged rods and new pistons anyways. the difference between the two possible builds would be the top end. with a turbo kit i would just use the stock cam, valves, ect. with a n/a build i would want to use crower or bisimoto equipment and have a serious port and polish, 3 angle, larger valves, ect.
its all about the dollar, and right now my dollar says just get it running. lol

 

well scratch the obd1 convertion (legal issues!) or chipped idea... im kinda screwed cuz i have a 00...

sooo a standalone system is really the only option down the line!
that sucks! so i would have to dish out as much as i payed for my car to get an aem programable ecu! that sucks even harder!
anyone know how strict arizona is about emissions? i currently live in ohio but will be relocating there for school soon... i mean my car doesnt TECHNICALLY even hav a catalytic convertor on there, so i'm sure it'll fail initially but i just want to know for later...

 

IMO, the best possible set-up without going AEM is a chipped P28 with the Hondata S300 system. Chrome is fine as well, but I don't know if you can make changes to the tune without a tuner etc. Hondata's S300 allows you to make changes on the go with a laptop. You cannot chip an OBD2 ecu by the way, so that is out of the question.

I am not familiar with emissions testing in Arizona unfortunately.

 

gotcha. i just want to avoid converting to obd1 at this point if the car will be "illegal".

but p28 is where i want to go and i would have the car tuned by a tuner of course on a dyno.
more research...
