just dumping extra fuel into the engine accomplishes nothing. The key is WHEN the fuel is dumped in, along with WHEN the spark is lit.
the key here is timing. With correct timing, you could see 300 whp if you have the rest of the supporting mods....
ie, hondata or full standalone

i have a greddy kit on my d16z6... i'm going to attempt the afc hack soon...i already have a 255 lph intank fuel pump and a bunch of other **** that i'm runnin now....i have the v-afc too....next on my list is dsm injectors and a resistor pack....maybe a msd 6btm...after that 10 pounds should be a breeze....i also have a cometic hp style head gasket and arp head studs but thats just cause my stock head gasket blew. What do you intend on using to control the boost?

You question is too vague, what kind of boost do you want to run and how much power do you want to make?

Yoou don't need pistons and rods to do that.as long as you are intercooled the rest is kinda easy.You could go with dsm injectors, resistor pack and an afc or alot more fuel pressure with the blue box.I'd go with a fuel pump too,with 9-10 psi you'll want your plugs a step colder.

i wouldn't take evil_rps13's word on the subject. he acts like he knows what hes talkin about when it comes to hondas but hes a nissan guy. a slow one at that. haha i'm just ****** around... hes nice as hell. wouldn't have **** workin right on my car if it wasn't for him. anyway, back to the subject. you could just get the fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator and increase fuel pressure with the blue box, but you'll have to manually delay the timing to avoid detonation. the afc hack removes the blue box and is a much safer way of running 10 pounds daily with less chances of something going wrong.
