i mean its your car so if you want a fuel rail then get a fuel rail. Im just trying to see you put your money to better use.

You could looking into your upgrading your fuel pump, you could get a aftermarket high flow fuel filter (I know they make them for the older Hondas/Acuras just not sure about the newer ones) you could also look into an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, maybe up grade your cooling with aluminum radiator (I know thats more then $100 but just making some suggestions)

What would the fuel pump of aftermarket flow fuel filter do for me exactly, whats the benifits out of it. I dont know anything about aftermarket fuel systems...an aftermarket radiator is thousands for my car, so that isnt going to be anytime soon lol

An aftermarket fuel pump isnt really going to do anything for a bolt on si...probably mess up my car if anything...

What do you think about 1 step colder iridium denso spark plugs

I dont think so. Someone on another forum is working on getting a dual ECU setup. And another person in Texas has tuned the ECU, but wont work on any ECUs delivered, he needs the car to by-pass the DBW and other problems we have with tuning the ECU

no point in going one step colder if your not FI and I only mentioned the fuel upgrades because you mentioned you were going to go FI via JRSC. Right now an upgraded fuel pump will do nothing for you.

List something that would do something for me right now, but will also do something for me later. I did also ask for an Exedy Organic I and ACT Prolite flywheel for xmas. If I dont get that I think I might just take $280 from xmas money and buy myself the flywheel..

if you don't know anything about fuel systems, why do you want a fuel rail? lol i know its been asked before, but idk, i guess i'm just curious

anyway, you're going to DEFINITELY need to replace your injectors, maybe/probably oyur fuel pump, and then the last thing that needs replacing will probably be the fuel rail. It all deals with supplying more fuel to compensate for all the air thats going to be pushed into your engine with F/I, although with no tuning program its going to be difficult. Also the one step colder plugs won't do anything right now. Once you're boosted you're going to want to run 91+ octane and always use one step colder plugs, but not right now.

Also Mishimoto makes universal radiator fans, which will help you, but you'd be hard pressed to find an aftermakret radiator for your car so soon.

Yea I just read about all of that. Injectors come with the kit, and I will be replacing the fuel pump but thats not for awhile

Soudns good. I think your biggest concern is figuring out how to tune, other than just re-flashing your ECU. Piggyback? Yeah, it sucks, but better than nothing.

And the money n the fuel rail could be spent on gauges or something (for example). Or just stored away for later parts (they'll sneak up on you).

I figured I would just save, but I havnt gotten anything huge for this car since my RH which was put on like 6 months ago so im going through withdrawl lol. Besides my reflash....I dunno, I just wanted to buy something to hold me over for abit more...

If anyone wants to throw out some ideas that will be in the performance category, please do so, im at a delima right now. If I cant find anything worth buying that would go well with a F/I appt then I suppose ill save, as much as it hurts haha
