Default How much zex to use on a b16

I have a b16 in my 91 std hatch. Its all stock other than i/h/e. I dont have any fuel managment mods. Im getting a zex 4 wire dry kit with the brainbox. I was wondering how much I should run. I was thinking around a 50 shot. Anyone have any past experience on a b16?

How'd you pull that one off? I ran a 75 shot Zex on my D16 for almost 2 years with no problems at all.

Nonsense. Dry kits are fine if you have the right fuel management.

For just a 75 shot of ZEX the only thing required is a 255lph high pressure fuel pump. An adjustable fpr is recommended.

From expereince with stock fueling & a b16 combined with a zex dry kit i would pull back the timing a little and stick with a 50 shot max.
Weve ran a 75 shot regularly with a vafc and 255lph without any trouble at all
