for low boost (<7psi) an fmu setup is fine, but i still would rather have at least an safc setup if it were me. and if you read his post, he said he's running 450cc injectors & a vafc

Re: nitrous use/ or cheap turbo kit
upgrading the fpr, fuel rail and fuel pump are essentials in turboing whatever u guys are talkin about....do it right the first time as i said or you will be sorry
and for low boost (7 psi) an fmu is not fine.....i wouldnt run more than 4 psi on a fmu on my motor....if u blow your D series motor ok, just get 400 bucks and get a new motor....if i were to blow my motor.....thats about 2G's be smart, ive only heard bad stuff about the fmu

Re: nitrous use/ or cheap turbo kit
fmu's are bad, but they are reliable to 7psi. there are plenty 11 second civics on h-t that run fmu setups. I don't like them, but it doesn't mean they don't serve their purpose. And as for upgrading your fuel rail, its overkill, at least for boosting accords.
