Default b16a turbo gurus (experts)

what is the safest boost that a
STOCK b16a in a 1990 civic can take
i mean STOCK :injectors, fuel pump, fuel
rail, ignition etc etc,
going w/ a vj14 turbo


the only upgrade i'm looking at is a
boost dependent FPR....
and #7 ngk plugs.

thanks again guys...

I would reccomend getting a bigger in tank pump...that stock one sucks. Buy its your call. Then safe boost around 7psi is safe.

7psi is safe and reliable. works really well but i would upgrade to at least agood high pressure pump or get a good inline one

I am running a T3 on my B16. stock injectors with a inline pump. Currently I am using a 12:1 FMU can I go down to a 10 or a 8:1. My car is running really rich right now..

Thanks

Again. The best price on Walbro is here

Dont forget, Walbro makes the BBk, Holley, and whoever else is out there. Except ofcourse the Bosch unit.
I just emailed Ron, the owner--a great guy by the way, to see if they stock our pumps. He says they are a popular pump and they are always in stock. Hope this helps, and happy boosting

you will need both the FMU and the upgraded pump. Your injectors and ignition will be fine stock
