you could probably get away with out getting new injectors but i think youd need a new computer

are you still in the twins or single family?? if you are still in the twins, i wouldn't recomend you running 14psi. 14psi on stock twins are pushing to the limit. just get your ecu and fuel upgrade b4 you turn up that boost controller and you should be okay.

sorry, forgot to post my sig with it.

I already have a g-force ecu. Its just that at 14 PSI the stock injectors are nearly at max duty cycle.

I'm still on the stock twins I jsut want to run 14 PSI when I goto the track. (I know I'll need to get a new IC before I can do that.)

So far the only way I know of to safly run 14 PSI is to upgrade the feul pump, injectors and get a PFC or other stand alone to control the larger injectors. Any other way to safely run 14? Extra injectors in the intake or soemthing like that?

do not run 14 psi on stock injectors. make sure you wave adequate fuel and engine management (standalone) to go with it. and dont run 14 psi daily. you will just destroy the life span of the turbos. save the 14 psi for the Civic and Integra kills.

don't worry, I was never planning on running 14 PSI on stock IC, or as a daily thing (refer to me previous post )

So does this mean the answer to my question is no? The only way to safely run 14 PSI is with a fule pump + larger injectors + stand alone?

Buy a Supra and turn DOWN the boost!

Just kidding... calm down.

14psi

I used 14lbs of boost for 12k miles with pfs intercooler, intake, pmc, full exhaust, and supra tt fuel pump. I just replaced the turbo's though . If you want big power there is no safe way to do it with out going single and having lots of experience with fuel management. 12lbs on very well tuned fd on a mild diet is more than enough power for most applications. If your not breaking things your not racing

thanks

How would I get that to work though? If I put on an AIC with a few extra injectors, I would then have to get the ECU reprogrammed for less fuel right? or get something like an AFC to turn down the amount of fuel being dumped in by the stock injectors.

Sonds like the easiest way to do this is just get new injectors with a stand alone.

Bingo! I have never heard of an AIC working as well as a stand-alone. Keep it as simple as possible.. it's just another independant system to screw up.

RRFPR is the only way I know of besides larger injectors to run 14psi through the stock twins.
