Default 98 civic OEM injectors

ive been having a rough idle for a while and ive tried everything, cleaning the throttle body, IACV, new distributor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, ect.

anyways i came to a conclusion my injectors are not working like they should. im pretty sure the first one is not working properly at all.

instead of cleaning them, i would like to replace all of them. i was thinking if im going to buy new OEM injectors i might as well upgrade them a little for some performance. what kind of injectors would you guys suggest, i have a 98 civic with a d16y8 pretty much stock just intake and exhaust nothing special. would any upgrade of the injectors make the car run too rich? let me know what you guys think

If your not running heavy mods there is no reason to run bigger injectors all they will do is make you run rich and it will kill your gas mileage.

Go with OEM and you'll be fine. The only time you need bigger injectors is if you have a serious all-motor setup or are using some kind of forced induction.

a quality filter just means cleaner gas but your not going to see a difference in power just money out of your pocket lol. you might see better gas mileage.
