Default Finally boosted

After 12 hours of work I am finally boosted. Just a few things left to patch up and I will be done and ready to test drive. Here is my setup 94 civic coupe w/gsr Drag3, Hondata 2b, Dsm injectors, full 3'' Dp back exhaust and other little odds and ends. Thanks to honda-tech for all the tips and advice.

Cool, hope the car works well for ya. How much boost will you be running? Let us know how it feels after the test drive. That is, if you can stop driving .

I have the tial, so 6.5 for now. Haven't got to fully test, since I need to get a fuel pressure gague. Was hooking one up and the adapter snapped in the filter(sucked). Starts going lean into boost, despite repeated fpr adjustments. Does anyone have experience with the bbk fuel pumps, could possibly be my problem.

you are probably running more like 5psi at the intake manifold since you loose pressure after the intercooler. my guage reads 5psi with the stock spring, but i have apexi avc-r to crank up the boost.

The BBK is the same as the Walbro, if it is an intank pump. Do you have a friend that you could switch with? Or, do you still have the stocker? The stock pump should be able to supply enough fuel for 5 psi, which is probably what you are running after drop. The only difference will be your base pressure might drop a bit. I would install the pressure guage, and see what your base pressure is. Then put in the stocker and adjust your base pressure up to where it was with the BBK. If it runs good then your pump is screwed. Another thing you could do is put the guage on, and take it to a dyno, and see if the pressure drops off under boost.

Thanks for the info. Hopefulley it's not the pump, not that old. At the manifold I am reading 6lbs. I am looking to get the B&M fpg, anyone have one for sale?
