i found a set of Eclipse GST injectors, i think they are 440cc. does anyone know if these will fit into a ka24de?

DSM injectors are top feeds so unless you have an aftermarket rail they will not fit.

they would fit on my fuel rail.. How big are 440ccs compared to 50lb/hr? is there a conversion that i can use for CCs to Lb/Hr?

240marcuSX- they fit your car because the KA24E used a top feed rail. They switched to side feed on the DE.

Are KA24E injectors low impedence?

10.5cc/min = 1lb/hr. Not all top feed injectors will fit all top feel rails...there are different sizes on the tops where they fit in the rail (SOHC KA injectors will not fit in a rail designed for top-feed MSD's...the holes will be way too big).

i use 550cc rc engineering injectors for an eclipse on my ka24et. u will have to have the fuel rail bored out for the injectors at a machine shop and then use resistors in the wiring because the injectors are low impedance when stock injectors are high impedance. even though i put 2k miles on the injectors without resistors and no problems but decided to put them on just to be on the safe side. i didnt know they would fit i got a good deal and tried. they just so happen to be the same length.

u will also have to cut off the plastic tab on the injectors to allow it plug in. thats it. good luck

awesome info 3rd gear. what kind of power are you making?

i could use 550cc's instead of 50 lbers. how much did you spend total on the injectors/machining/resistors?? did you get the resistors from RC engineering to? how much does the stock rail have to be bored out??

i spent 250 on injectors and 12 dollars for the 4 drop resistors and i worked at a machine shop so that was free. would normally cost about 50 dollars. u just need to bring the injectors with the orings so they can measure how much the fuel rail will need to be bored out. i have yet to dyno my car. but at 11 psi i have been able to beat a c5 with intake, exhaust, flywheel by half a car. good luck
