Default B16A Fuel pressure, Tranny fluid, and a hybrid hybrid.

So my beater has a B16A (5mil.), ZDYNE 1wire ecu, DC 4-1 header (O2 sensor in wrong place ) ghetto intake, 2.5 straight rough exhaust, and a BM FPR among other things. The rings in this poor car are fried thanks to the previous owners nitrous setup. It's going to be rebuilt this spring but I'm trying to get it setup right for now.

What is the stock FP on a B16A? Right now mine is set at 43~44psi at idle, is this too much or too little? The car puffs white smoke at WOT but if I set it WAY rich (50~psi) it doesn't smoke but moisture gathers quickly in the exhaust tip and gas mileage sucks. What should I set the FP at?

Also, how do I check the transmission fluid level in the Y1 gearbox. I know on my D16 it was visible inside the passenger front fenderwell but I can't seem to find it w/ my B16 (HASport mounts, BTW).

While I'm at it: I'm considering putting USDM ITR pistons and rings in the motor. Is it true that this yields around 10.6:1 compression? Are any other mods necessary (headwork, rods, etc.) to make it work?

Any and all help is appreciated,
Aaron
