Get a wideband 02, and go to the dyno. Stock is at like 41 psi.

976

Here is my setup, and what PSI gave best results.

B16a
9.1 comp R&R pistons
head milled .04 mm (so basically almost stock comp.)
polished crank
ACT stage 2 clutch
9 lbs flywheel
aem intake
b16a2 t/b
ported i/m
AEM FRP
STR fuel rail
MSD ignition 6a
MSD coil
ported and polished head
jdm 4-1 header
carsound 2.5in cat
custom 2.5in exhaust
ES oval muffler

Best performance was gained at 40 psi.

I know my setup is a lot different. My first answer was go to a dyno because every car will be the same. However, the b16a seems to enjoy anywhere from 30-45 psi depending on mods. I hope this helps.

P.S: At idle I'm at 33-35, at WOT I'm at 40psi.

I am using 37 psi with the vac line off the FPR. I would recommend that till you get to a dyno.

I think he means, when he pulled the vac line off, it read 37psi, but he put it back on. Some people measure it with the line off, others with it on.

With it off. That shows what it will run at full throttle.
