is this a reasonable setup?
 
hey, I was just wondering if this setup was reasonable for my '93 civic hatch d15b7. IHI RHB5 turbo and intercooler from an 89 MX-6, MX-6 injectors (330cc i think, if i can use it use with an fmu), vortech 12:1 fmu, ssqv blow off valve, stock internal wastegate (set at 8psi) and walboro fuel pump? Any input would be greatly appreciated as this is my first turbo build. Thanks.

You cant use bigger injectors and fmu, if you want a turbo setup for that motor mines for sale, pm me, for some extra cash I will throw in my chipped ecu and 450's. my setup is in my sig.

I got all the parts for free, i was just going to piece it together and I needed to know if it would work. Thanks for the info on the injectors, I kinda thought you couldn't use both but i wasn't sure.

FMU's dont need injectors.


Dumb ------s use FMUs O0

That setup will work, just use your stock injectors.

is it really necessary to get a new fuel pump, or will the stock pump run enough consistent pressure for 7-8 psi of boost? (approx 96psi more fuel pressure than stock)

Re: is this a reasonable setup?
 
If you're using an fmu, you really should upgrade the fuel pump to run the increased fuel pressure.

For the cost of the fmu+fuel pump, you could almost get a chipped ecu and injectors and keep your stock pump, and be much more reliable.

where is a good place to get a chipped ecu, and what type of numbers can I expect from this setup. Also, will the MX-6 injectors fit in the civic intake manifold/fuel rail?

Chipped ecu from www.-------------

You could probably make around 200whp with that setup on a decent tune and have it last a while
