I was just recently going reading a back issue of TURBO magazine
with the 420A turbo article. I noticed that the HRC turbo kits
are able to run (Stage2) 2 to 3psi more than the STAR kits. I realize that this is a fuel system issue!
I am curious as to what aspect of HRC's fuel system allows it to boost more then the STAR kit ?

<Please be as specific as possible>
Thanks!

That one's easy. The fuel pump included in the kit. HRC's inline flows more, at higher pressures. Period.

...the in-line works in conjunction with the stock pump as to keep the pressure of both pumps down. Very good idea. It allows for more fuel at even highger pressure than just a Wahlbro replacement. Someone here "did the most" with the inline AND intank. That's an even better idea!

So, which one is better? I thought an intank fuel pump is better then an inline??

That is my favourite issue of all time! Its the deciding issue
that made me start to save up money in order to buy my turbo kit.

I wouldn't take that issue word for word though because it does
have some errors including the price of Hahn's kit at the time!

You can't run max boost possible (by the turbo) on stock
internals anyway so I would suggest you consider setting aside
some money for fuel upgrades (be it SAFC, Injectors of better
Fuel Pump).. Ideallly a SAFC & Injectors coupled with a Stage II
would be perfect.

In case you are wondering, I have a HRC Stage 2.5 (with FMIC)

Keep all your fingers crossed people!
Looks like it's all falling in place finally...
I might actually be *driving* my car soon!
Its only been 5 LONG months...

The in tank pump is cabable of flowing huge amounts of fuel as evidenced by the 500+hp turbo DSMs that have them. The problem is even the "high pressure" intank pump performance declines as fuel pressure goes up. If a kit was designed with larger injectors and to run no more than say 55psi of pressure the intank pump would be all thats needed. At Stage 1 and 2 fuel pressures what Skrilla said. I'm thinking about skipping the in tank pump all together and just getting an inline (high pressure walboro+in-line=too much) but then that might still be too much fuel(and pressure) with the included 12:1 regulator.

Right now im running a stock fuel pump with a Hypertech 500hp inline fuel pump ($150).. with 320cc's and a 10:1 FMU..

You guys think this is okay for 10psi boost on stock internals?

320cc injectors and a 10:1 regulator. I did the RCE calculations with 330cc injectors and a 4:1 regulator and the horsepower capability seemed reasonable up to 10lbs of boost. I'm sure with a 10:1 regulator, inline pump and 320cc injectors you should have fuel to spare at 10psi
