I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Hondas are like that old girlfriend thats just always around in case you need some action but you dont stay with her because you think you can do better. but in time you realize she was the best thing you ever had

Fuel = Definitely get a Walbro pump since you're still running the Civic one.

Ignition= stock is fine.

blockguard = No.

theres just no need really. There are alot of bad stories about block guards overheating your engine and breaking. But that could be due to improper installation. *shrug* There are extremely high hp cars that run without block guards. imo its not necessary, and not worth the money to due it right. Especially with the low psi you plan on running. Spend the money on a wideband 02 sensor instead.

werd. Block guards impeed the flow of coolant in the water jackets around the cylinders, not to mention that no two blocks are exactly the same, so block guards tend to shift the liners around and cause the piston rings to load up on one side of the bore. Hope I explained that right, it's difficult to put into words.

Just like banzai said, get a wideband and a good person to tune.

What setup are you thinking about? fuel management, etc.
