I'm thinking about getting a NOS Wet system for my CRX. Right now a turbo/SC is out of the pricing range, and the B16a just isn't cutting it by itself. The guy that had the kit before me blew his B16a with it, so I am a little weery. He was only running either a 40 or 50 shot, but from what I heard held it way way down. Here are the mods done to my engine so far:

B16a1
CAI
DC Sports 4-2-1 Ceramic Coated Header
2.25" Cat-Back exhaust w/ test pipe
OBX Bomb w/ 4" tip

I am getting a tuneup this week, so it's going to be running good when I put the system in. Right now my clutch is in good shape, and haven't had any problems yet. It's the original clutch though and the swap has been in the car about 8 months. How well will the clutch hold up with like a 40 or 50 wet shot, and is it recommended? What should I be running with the system, and with that small of a shot is there much risk?

B16 motors are pretty cheap spray it with a 75 shot jst MAKE SURE its TUNNED propper and you willl have no problems ALL so get a fuel pump thats probley why the other guy blew up his motor

 

What am I going to have to adjust for say the 40 shot, and which fuel pump should I be running?

BTW-400th post

With the 40 shot you should be fine stock.....unless you plan on running it for a very long time.

Invest in a 255 lph pump anyway......once you start using power adders you can tend to get carried away.

 

What would a 255 lph pump go on? Does a regular auto parts store carry them, or am I going to have to do special order....What kind of $$$'s am I looking at?

with a 40 shot on a B16 you have no worries you'll be totally fine with all the stock settings just make sure you use the right kit.

 

upgrade ignition as well like MSD 6A

 

You can get used 255's for 50 bux.
But new they go for 150.
Same with the ingnition.

 

40 shot will (should) be fine on a stock motor, but ot be safe get a bigger fuel pump and colder plugs (NKG BKR7E's) and maybe a window switch if you're really wary

 

you should be able to run a 50 shot on a b16 with no problem at all as long as you dont abuse it

 

A friend of mine has a B16a in his 90 crx si. He is currently running a dry Zex kit jetted for 75 shot. He has his timing retarded 2 degrees, has colder plugs, and a B&M fpr.
The car runs awesome w/ nitrous. He has had zero problems.

He runs mid/low 13's w/ bolt-ons and drag radials and thats in Utah at 4500 feet of elevation.
