do RC injectors use the same clips as OBD1 injectors? - Honda Prelude Forum

ziggity · 12-18-2003, 12:02 PM

i have a set of DSM 450s and they use OBD1 clips out of a civic, integra, prelude, etc.... My question is do RC injectors use the same clips or do they have some proprietary design that i would have to purchase from them

just in case you were wondering i am gonna get some 550s in place of my 450s

I believe they use obdI clips because I had to get new clips when I got my RC's.

Yes, peak-and-hold RC injectors use OBDI clips.

buh_buh · 12-18-2003, 10:13 PM

hm... something seems strange.
My injectors are saturated, but I still needed new clips....

Interesting, I had always read that one wouldn't need new clips with their saturated injectors.

maybe I just got jacked then

sharkcohen · 12-19-2003, 02:54 PM

I could be wrong, we need to find out for sure. Maybe I'll email or call RC.

buh_buh · 12-19-2003, 04:29 PM

well I'll check my oem injector harnesses tonight and compare them to the ones that are on my car now to see if there are any differences.

PreludeSH157 · 12-20-2003, 04:03 AM

Does anybody have any pictures of the clips/connectors?? I'm sure it can be figured out this way? I have my RC SL4-440, which are saturated, I can take pics of this?

PreludeSH157 · 12-20-2003, 10:48 PM

Can someone find the answer to this?? Please??

buh_buh · 12-21-2003, 03:46 AM

k I did some research, and I do have different clips.
The RC clips ARE OBDI clips and I had to get new clips put on in order to get my RCs on.

I'd take a pic, but I had to sell my digi cam to buy a winter beater

PreludeSH157 · 12-21-2003, 08:59 AM

Buh_buh, you have RC SL4-440's?

PreludeSH157 · 12-21-2003, 11:27 AM

Does ANYONE have a stock injector they could take a pic of? If so take a pic of the connector (electrical) from a couple of angles, then we can deduce if a clip is needed.

preludesh01201 · 12-21-2003, 06:56 PM

Wait, i have a set of saturated R/C 370cc's and clips waiting to go in. My cars a 01, do i need to use the new clips provided or can i use stock injector clips?

heres some pics

PreludeSH157 · 12-21-2003, 07:30 PM

My RC 440's are identical in look... the clip is the same too... preludesh01201 we are trying to figure that same question out. We need someone with stock injectors to take a pic, then we can figure out whether you and I need the clips.. where did you buy the clips at anyways???

By the way, doesn't it look as there should be some kind of o-ring at the bottom of the injector? (Mine is like that too)

sharkcohen · 12-21-2003, 08:24 PM

Heh, I just remembered that I could take some pics of my stock injectors, brb....

sharkcohen · 12-21-2003, 09:16 PM

Stock 5th gen saturated OBDII injector and clip:

I've also emailed RC with this question, we'll see if I get a response.

PreludeSH157 · 12-21-2003, 10:35 PM

I think the clip looks different.. Can I get the clip at an normal autoparts store?

sharkcohen · 12-21-2003, 10:38 PM

I doubt it, but you should be able to get the clips from RC. You might also check the classifieds on h-t. There are some import shops online that carry them, but I forget what ones. You might also check with PO sponsors, one or more might be able to get them. You could also pull some out of a car at a local wrecking yard.

preludesh01201 · 12-22-2003, 07:10 AM

I got my clips from inlinefour.com, if there not on their site give them a call. Thats what i did.

PreludeSH157 · 12-23-2003, 11:29 AM

Does anyone know any specific sponsers from PO that sell clips for a resonable price?

Hi, just a quick quesiton. Do your Honda saturated
injectors require the use of OBDI clips, like your
peak-and-hold injectors do? Thanks.
