Default Car struggling in boost, HELP!

Just got the turbo set-up finished and I know that I need more fuel and tuning big time. The only outside fuel source I have is a Walbro 255. Stock injectors and no FMU Timing is turned down to maybe 11. I know the car is starved for fuel, but when I occasionally hit boost the car flies until about 5500 and then when it reaches full boost (B16, SC61 at 5 psi) it falls on its face BAD. WTF should I do?

um why on earth would you try to boost w/ absolutely no fuel management.

you're going to blow your motor very soon if you keep it up.

do your motor a favor - Get bigger injectors and hondata man.

Stop hitting boost with no fuel management. It is leaning out and trying to **** itself when you hit full boost.

yeah bad diea to boost like that with just a walboro fuel pump. basically what you are doing for example is:

forcing a gallon of fuel through and your injectors can't disspurse of it all so it's not doing you any good to really have that fuel pump on stock injectors especially with nothing to control them. Bigger injectors will solve your problem and a fuel managment system.

Get an FMU and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator/gauge, bump pressure to 50psi and stay off of boost until you can afford bigger injectors and some sort of fuel/ignition managment...

hahhaah i read that and almost fell off my chair. Are you seriously trying to ask why the car hits 5500rpm at full boost and falls flat on its face??

You right because it has no fuel, but honestly why are you trying to boost and go WOT with no Fuel managment and NO TUNING?

You have the injectors, GOOD, you got the fuel pump, GOOD, now just need a fuel managment unit and some tuning for god sakes!!
