Welcome to the family, hope you find it useful and fun.
Hopefully your kit will have a decent set of instructions? I have no idea on this, but you could check the manufacturer / suppliers site. However, generally speaking unless you have highly modified the engine you may well get away with using the stock injectiors, they are often OK up towards the 200hp mark before they can't keep up, but this will become apparent when you get it on the dyno. Which is a prerequisite. You will most likely need a fully programmable ECU to get the best from the engine with the minimum of drawbacks and maximum efficiency, power and reliability..

You have said nothing about the motor, exhaust or induction system, or what your objective is.

Hope this helps a little.

Fabia12 Thank you for the reply any direction helps so the story on my car is I have a pretty much stock 01 prelude the only mods I’ve done motor wise is cool air intake header and 2 1/4 in exhaust all the way back that’s about it it has a h22a4 motor in it since it’s stock on only looking to push around 6 or 7 lbs of boost just mainly wondering about if the stock Ecu is programmable or if I need aftermarket and how to reprogram it for the amount of boost

Hey everyone my name is Lauren From Scotland but live in Australia. I have a 2006 Hyundia Elantra Sedan 2.0hvt automatic Shes only stock, with aftermarket chrome wheels on her. So far ive only added lightbar and two spottys on her front end with aftermarket body kit on her with purple headlights in her so far. Would love some help or feedback to anyone who else has owned one of these cars to see what they have done as im unsure to what i can add to her or do with her.

Hi, thank you for coming back to me, the H22 is a great motor and ripe for tuning, responding very well. But to answer your questions more fully, we have a dedicated section here on the website. Go here and take a read, and we are always here for further discussion. https://www.torquecars.com/honda/h22-tuning.php

Hi there and welcome to the site. There is a wealth of knowledge on here, and although you might not get many replies or much off topic banter the tips you get are worth their weight in gold and I would take quality over quantity any day.

I hope you stick around and add your voice to the unique community that only TorqueCars.
