Rods & fuel pump
Hey, I have a 92 JDM EG8 civic which comes with the JDM 1500 SOHC VTEC engine (d15b - 130hp)
My civic is in the process of the turbo conversion (using IHI VF10 turbo, custom manifold, 500mm x 300mm custom intercooler, 2 extra 420cc injectors, & link engine management).
Im planning on running my car at 7 psi on standard internals.
Anyone have any objections to this amount of boost on this engine? Will the rods hold up?
Will the standard fuel pump be Ok?
I know these JDM engines arnt common but any help would be appreciated.

Re:Rods & fuel pump
Ok, Do you have any links to these tuning devices?
Im using a 'intercept link' which fools the map sensor to allow boost http://link-electro.co.nz/ancillary_devices.html
Im also using an extra injector controller which will be dyno tuned - http://link-electro.co.nz/powerlink.html
Is this similar to zdyne or custom boost chips?
Thanks.

That setup will be just fine.. Might take a little bit to tune it, but other than that, you should be just fine.
That turbolink looks similar to the EIC setup

Civic is running but still needs a bit more tuning.
Its first run on the dyno it reached 105KW @ the wheels @ 6psi. Not the best power but my car would have struggled to make 60KW @ the wheels while N/A + Its nice and reliable for daily driving
