You know what, If you did a simple search or, god forbid, looked through this forum for 20 seconds, you would see the EXACT same question posted less than a week ago. That's a scary concept isn't it, actually searching and doing research instead of expecting people to repeat the same questions over and over. Boy, are we awful.

80k is not really that many miles for a Honda. Your car should be fine if it was taken care of. What type of kit are you getting? If you're not doing any internal mods, i wouldn't run any more than 10psi. What are you doing for the FMU, are you doing Uberdata since you have the OBD1 conversion?? Why are you doing the conversion anyway??

search and you will find. the question you ask is one of the keystone questions that drive the force induction forums.
