Default Is this 10 or 12 Psi worthy?

Okay I have a line bored, honed, dohc zc which has forged Scat Rods and low compression pistons (which everybody keeps telling me is stock) with a mild port and polish on the intake and exhaust, d16z6 fuel rail, Apexi Gen1 AFC, Vortech FMU 12.1 disk, d16z6 throttle body mildly ported (did some next **** to get it to fit), rc 440 Injectors, t3/t4 with 3" all the way back in a 93 EJ1 (Civic coupe) , Integra p75 (ls) stock ecu, stock d16 fuel pump, light weight crank pulley, 10lb flywheel, act 6puck in a d16z6 tranny...can this car handle 10psi or 12 psi and how much power is realistic with this setup?

all i can do is add this, it is either the afc and the injectors OR the fmu. if you are goin with 10 psi, thats 40 psi static, just pulling that number out of my ***, + 10psi x 12:1 rise rate = 160 psi fual pressure. your injectors will have a hard time opening at that high pressure. it is one or the other.

how important is the car to you for you to be experimenting? why not run it at like 7 psi and be safe until you are SURE it can handle that much boost. if the car doesn't mean that much then try it and let us know!!

if you're gonna push 10-12 psi, ditch the fmu for sure. and yes, i think it could take that much boost and make good power just as long as you get it dyno-tuned with some sort of better fuel management.

sell your afc and fmu, save a lil money, and as said above, get decent management and have it tuned on a dyno. 10-12 psi should be in the 220-240 hp range, and you can make and handle that if your tune is good. your setup looks pretty damn decent, dont skimp on the tuning. thats my advice
