You need to buy injectors based on their flow rate, not brand.

True dat.

I'd go RC Engineering, 370's or 440's if you're gonna be running a lot of boost. (over 7-8psi).

Well i plan on running 7 psi, so you think i'd be better to go with RC? Don't they make custom injectors specific for your application? Is the price much higher for RC than Venom?????

You'll spend about $300-400 for RC Engineering INjectors.
I'd get 370's (from RC Engineering).

Look at groupbuycenter.com too -- just be careful for shady shops.

If you want to save some money you can get some dsm injectors and get their cleaned and blueprinted. You'll need to put in some inline resistors or get an old resistor box from an old accord or crx. You have to change the clips on the injectors too but in the long run you save lots of money. Total cost ~120 as opposed to ~280 for new rc's. Remember with injectors this big your stock ecu cannot control them so you'll need an afc or any stand alone will do.

Total cost of my DSM 450 setup? $58.62.

What you need?
-DSM 450s off of a DSM Turbo 5SPD (must be stick)
-Resistor box from older Prelude/CRX/Accord, etc, or 4 10ohm, 10watt resistors from Radio shack (come in a pkg of 2 for 1.69 ea).
-DSM Injector Clips (if youre obd2)

Its cake. There are two wires coming from each injector, a colored wire and a yellow/black. Just solder in a resistor in between the yellow/black wire of each injector, and youre done. If youre OBD1, just snip off the nipple in the Honda injector clip (a la 9005 conversion) and plug n play, no other clip needed. Otherwise, you can just snip the Honda clips off and solder on the DSM clips.

RC Cost? $300+
DSM Injectors? $50. Cleaned/Balanced/BP'd? $25.

My only gripe is they are loud as hell. They tick like....a really loud injector
