what should i do to make it more reliable. i am going to replace all gaskets, headstuds, clutch, and maybe fuel pump. what do you guys recommend?

 

maybe slightly bigger injectors and a fuel rail and pressure regulator and the right ecu/tuning. other than that sounds like u got it under control bro!

 

but i have a jrsc kit. and it says that you can be safe on stock tuning.

 

oooohhhh. ok, well then it sounds like you have it handled. if you want to get the most out of it tho, get a p28 with hondata, or have it chipped and tuned. but if you spent your budget already....u should b good

 

i dont have the full kit but i am working on ordering everything that i need. can anyone think of any critical items that i am missing

 

I definitely wouldn't leave that on stock tuning. You can't simply bolt on a turbo or supercharger and expect it to run properly. Your stock basemaps are designed for just the right balance of power and economy...

 

i have a set of injectors but i am unsure of the specs. but what i have for the car is
jackson racing supercharger
act xtreme disc clutch
act xtreme pressure plate
vortech fmu
lightened crank pulley
arp headtsuds
fuel pressure gauge

is there anything that i am missing besides flywheel. and i am thinking about a walboro 255 fuel pump/

Loose the FMU and get Hondata.

If you're not planning on 350+ hp then you should be good with your stock fuel pump. I've seen stock pumps keeping up with 300+ hp on a good tune.

 

but i was reading on jackson racing website and it said that i would be good on stock fuel system and stock tune. is this not true?

 

after i did thorough research a while back on the JRSC kit for my single cam vtec, I changed my mind and went turbo lol...

 

Lets here their definition of safe. Your grandma might say not crossing a street at a crosswalk is unsafe, while another person says skydiving in lightning is safe.

You can run it, but you won't get as much power using an FMU. It will run either too rich or lean (or both), and not retard the timing properly - both will kill power and be UN-safe. You can sell the fmu for $25-50, which would pay for cleaning & flow-checking your injectors. An EMS like Hondata/Neptune/eCtune will be $400-500. You could also go with a Crome street tune + injectors, which will still be safer & make more power than an FMU.

I'd recommend the EMS and injectors before anything else. A new HG and ARP headstuds won't help if your FMU decides to not give enough fuel. Hopefully you see my point.
