96+ CX/DX/HX/LX injectors are 180cc... You will need to get EX or B series injectors...

once you've decided which ecu & head you wanna go with, you're gonna have to perform some engine harness modifications to be compatible with a SOHC VTEC head, mainly, add VTEC wiring, knock sensor, & perform the IACV fix.
