my setup is FINISHED (56k maybe)
or not quite finished because i need standalone fuel management but anyways here is my setup
hf manifold with custom adaptor plate
t3 .42 a/r from a chrysler internally wastegated at 7psi
dsm smic
dsm bov
2" custom shop pipe ( until i can order some mandrel )
2.5" downpipe
12:1 fmu
ngk plugs gapped at .035
ehh thats all i can think of
ive did the best i could so far, im only 17 and me and my friends did everything but the piping and whatnot... so far it has been quite awesome, beat a civic with a b16 block and a gsr head with stage 3 cams by about 3 cars before i let out... pulled on a gst eclipse with the boost upp'd and downpipe upgrade and some other stuff... some mustang gt's and whatnot.. but the problem is that its leaning out in higher rpms and breaking up some so lately i havent been hitting boost any but tomorrow im getting an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and with a gauge that mounts on the banjo bolt and im going to up it so it dont lean out... then i should be good till i can afford some uberdata or something.. that turbo hits full boost pretty damn fast
ps: i have been having trouble with coolant disappearing, i havent found any leaks and i thought it was a blown hg but im not shooting thick white smoke out and my oil does not look like milk, my coolant looks normal also.. so i pulled up a plug and looked at the piston and dont see any coolant wtf help
also i wanna thank the people on hmt boards because they have tried to help me out way more than ne 1 on honda-tech

If there are no coolant leaks then maybe the radiator was not full in the first place. Couple possible causes:
1. Radiator need cleaning (unable to hold maximum fluid).
2. Depending on how you pour the coolant into the radiator, you might have created a lot of air bubbles which will cause the coolant level to rise and make the radiator look like it's full when it's not.
Best way to fill your radiator:
a. Start the car and let it idle
b. Turn on the heater and switch it to full blast
c. Gently pour the coolant (let it trickle) until the radiator is full
Hope this help solve the coolant problem.

don't go upping your fuel pressure even more. Your stock injectors are probably maxing out as it is with that fmu. You can only flow, but so much out of stock injectors. Don't boost at all until you get it tuned with some larger injectors.

Your probably leaning out because the stock fuel pump cant keep up with the higher pressures with the FMU. buy a walbro fuel pump and only run 7psi with the FMU and you should be OK for a while until you get better management.
