even if those plugs didnt fix your problem, they would have caused huge problems with boost.

Detonation city IIRC?

Got the Walbro in, Fixed it!

So I had a lean condition:

Replaced plugs, Wires, and installed an adjustable FPR, and still no-go.

Dropped in a walbro 255, Worked like a charm, fixed the lean condition in the higher RPM.

Sounds MEAN too *The fuel pump*

I have a walbro in my civic and I never hear it.

Now I wonder if the cx pump just doesn't flow enough or if it was dying.

What kind of afr's are you getting now? I have always wanted to put a wideband on a stock ecu car, but I have only had one on chipped ecu's

No rear interior right now, car is going to the track next weekend, I'm sure if the carpet and seats were in the car I wouldn't notice it.

Someone else had told me the stock CX pump just doesn't flow enough (And I have a 92, so its the odd-ball/first year)

AFR's I'm getting consistent 13.8-14.2 under load (Including WOT) all the way to redline. in gear, no load, jumps to 16.0-16.8 typically.

*GRANTED, noone has showed me how to CALIBRATE my AEM UEGO because I tried reading the manual and it was WAY over my head, BUT I bought it used, so it was calibrated at one point for an Integra LS*

The main reason why I used the Wideband to help diagnose this issue, because accurate or not, I shouldn't have been 'pegging lean' at 5700RPM

those numbers are what I expected to hear.

Now that its fixed you have to boost it

Stock CX pumps known good to 300 whp.

I'm a little over half way there I'd say:
B18B1
Walbro 255
T3 Turbo Mani (should be arriving soon)
IC Piping and DSM BOV (Should also be arriving soon)
ChingChongMeow IC
ChingChongMeow T3 .48/60 (VERY soon *Brand new, but from a buddy who never used it, CHEAP*)
Resistor Box
tapped oil pan
oil pressure gauge
AEM UEGO Wideband

so that leaves:
DSM 450's
Oil feed/drain lines
selling my VAFC for a chipped ECU and a burner.
boost gauge
Assorted crap.

any donations/cheap stuff is appreciated!

Mine was good to about 70whp I'd say, Lol.

I dunno what to say? I guess it must have been going out?

That would be the answer.
