ur only at 2psi? I'm running 4psi until I can get my y8 IM, return line, and the emanage installed. then I can go to 7psi. that will be fun....lol you can run 4psi with stock fuel safely. it can compensate enough for it, but after 4psi it can't keep up. and if you drive well. a stock civic ex can beat a v6 accord cause the auto-tranny doesn't give it a good launch. and its heavier. I get my oem side skirts and oem aero kit rear lip today. I just need to get he mugen front lip painted and I'll be styling...

I know a stock civic can beat an accord. I have done it stock. I am not running 2psi. 2psi is a nice gain, but I run around 7-9. I need some more speed though, I need to turn it up some. Gotta build my motor as fast as I can.

And of course you can run 4psi with stock fuel, but safely, no. You can blow your motor off of 1 or 2psi and no extra fuel. Do not do that if its what your doing. It sounds like you are boosting 4 lbs with no more fuel. Very very bad. Do not drive under boost at all, and install your emanage ASAP. or anything you may have to add some fuel. If not youll be on here in a week or two, saying what happened, my motor blew?

My eManage is supposed to be here tomorrow (at least that's what FedEx said..probably will be damaged). Anyway, I plan on runny 6psi with the turbo extreme and eManage with all harnesses and sensors, plus Apexi turbo timer and TurboXS HP boost controller. Think a I reliably run 6psi daily with that setup?

By the way, I have and auto (I know, wife wouldn't let me get a manual at the time. She cant drive manual).

I've had the turbo on for over a month at 4psi and have had no problems. I've read in many places where the stock fuel can handle up to 4psi. my engine is running fine at 4psi, but I am going to do a little bit to the fuel this summer. y8 conversion with a return line and FMU. that should do it for now I think. atleast until I put some more money into it...hehe

yeah, the extreme kit comes with the 2 extra injectors. So youll be fine. You can boost up to 14psi and be fine with fuel. But the bottomend, and head, I dunno what they'd do with that much boost stock. loud boom.
