give a little bit more details about your setup.

Where are you running lean ? RPM, vaccum reading ( or boost ).

stock/aftermarket fuel pressure regulator ?

450 injectors, wired correctly ( need resistor box ? for your setup ).

---------
Hard to say, but if you are stock setup ( I dont see why you would have 450s )and everything else normal, you would run VERY RICH .

What makes you believe the engine is running lean? For example, a bad O2 sensor or exhaust leak could give a false reading.

Stock fuel pump will never push enough fuel to those 450s. Needs walbro in tank first.

It could be 2 things.

I would probably say that where you are running lean there is a dip in the injector MS to boost you are running.

this can be due to a few things:

-Was the chip tuned specifically for your setup ( aka your motor , turbo , IC,injector setup you currently have ? )

-But if you are boosted, I Would definitely upgrade the fuel pump.

--------

you also forgot to say what motor ?

d16y8, b16,b18b ?

I have seen a few lean spots with "generic"chips installed for boost setups in the vtec cross over.

If you are cloning chips from a buddy, try to get your setup as close to his as possible.

Ask him if he has a fuel pressure regulator, and if he does what psi he is running.

IF hes on oem FPR , then you are good.

sounds like u need a fuel pump, and a tune for your own set up. not your buddies.

Every engine acts differently.. so you will need to tune to your set up. Why you threw on 450cc's on a OE pump doesnt make sense. Sounds like you need a Fuel pressure regulator also. I would run @ 45psi and re-tune.

This. 350 is about max the stock fuel pump can handle, and that's maxing it out.
