If you are going to rebuild it yourself - PM me. I've got a guy that balances pretty darn well.
How can you tell if it needs to be rebalanced or not? I read that you don't always have to re balance it when you rebuild it. But maybe with this turbo it's better to I dunno.

Alright next I'm looking for injectors and a resistor box. Going to get the popular DSM 450's. How do these look for price? Anything I'm missing?

I'm planning on using a dremel on the stock injector seals to fit on the DSM's, or should I just buy an injector seal kit from Napa? I'll still have to bore out the bottom seals either way.

I dont know what all this talk about dremmeling out the bottom seals. I just put a tiny bit of oil on the seal and squeezed them on just fine. Those look like good prices. I wouldnt pay more than $50 shipped for the injectors and $20 shipped for the box.

yeah Ive read that write-up. I know of a few people on that site that didt bore their seals and others that did. If youve got a dremel and the equipment to do it then go for it but if you put a little oil on the seal and just tighted down the fuel rail they should slide right in there. Just make sure the seals go pretty close to touching the widest part of the injector.

Alright, the tuner shop told me they could get me an emanage ultimate and plug&play harness for $850 [sm=insomnia.gif]. Seems a little pricey to me lol....

My only option really is a piggyback seeing how in my state they check the ECU, what would you guys do? I want my car reliable obviously but will the regular emanage be fine or is there a better place to pick up stuff?

Also instead of buying an older Honda resistor box i'm going to buy inline resistors from radio shack. Costs $5 and I know the condition will be good.

Another thing is the guy at the shop told me that he wouldn't recommend DSM injectors, that the idle isn't right and went on about how bad they are. Said to go with RC injectors. whats up with that?

This is the sight http://www.trickengineering.com/

Fudge it I'm going to get the DSM's, if he can't tune it I'll just bring it to another guy.
