I would say one major disadvantage of FI on our specific engines, is they were not built or designed to handle the kind of cylinder pressures FI can create. They are alluminum block, open deck.
I honestly wouldn't feel safe running much more than 6-7psi on a stock honda block.

A lot of people feel the same way about boosting a stock block, but my buddy ran 15psi all day on his b16 for over a year and the car still reads perfect compression. Me personally, i wouldint do 15psi. I would keep it below 10psi. 10psi should be fine on a stock block.

At 10 psi I am making 216whp/181tq on my completely stock d16z6. It was tuned with Uberdata and I have been running it this way for a little over 2 months and almost 3000 miles. I redline this thing daily and have raced it quite a few times. Compression is 195 in all 4 cylinders. Realiabilty is all about tuning and fuel management. I don't think NA even compares to FI... once you go turbo you will never go back. B)
