if u dont have naything to control the injectors and ur running on the stock set up, dont ron on ANY psi, because you have nothing for ur engine to read the extra boost to throw the extra fuel in the engine, there for ur gonna run lean... LEAN IS BAD... itll melt ur piston like butter... dunt drive.. be safe and paitent

Rep Power: 0 yeah, dont boost yet dude, get emanage and some injectors or something to put fuel in there. Your go boom fast, even off 1 or 2 psi you can blow your motor.

Rep Power: 297 I agree about not boosting without extra fuel. However if you recieved the alchy injection with the kit (standard with the kit) they have designed it to run on aprox 5.5 psi. I know many people here will argue with me on this but it has dynoed to be more than safe to rely on the alchohol/water combo at 5.5psi. You will use roughly 2 quarts per tank of fuel. You still need to tune the injection with the supplied control module. If you bought the kit used and didnt recieve alchy injection then upgrade to the rsx injectors and emanage. Its more beneficial and tunable then the alchy. We all cant stress enough how sensitive proper tuning is. In as little as 5 minutes you could destroy a whole motor.

My problem with using alchy/water as a primary fuel system is that it creates alot of heat. Yeah, the water will cool down the combustion chambers, but alcohol still creates alot of heat. Also, there is no guarantee that the alcohol will reach each combustion chamber. You can be running fine in the #3 chamber, but detonating in #1.
