Default Can someone tell me what's wrong with my car...

O.K. my mods are greddy turbo, Apex vafc, and DSM 450's w/resistor box. What happends is that my car starts to bog out at high rpm's could this be because I haven't installed the 255lph intank fuel pump?

I'm not a turbo guy at all but cutting out in high rpms with a stock d-series fuel pump sounds like the problem. My friends DSM did that when he thought 2 bar was 14 psi

yep, that sounds like your fuel pump is maxing out...especially if you're running those 450's. my friend had the same problem with his car, but when he added a fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator, his car ran fine. once you add these 2 items, get the car tuned if you can. that should make a big difference

Just so you guys know.

A stock Civic and LS fuel pump is a 79 lph fuel pump. You bet your *** your maxing that sucker out.
