ok i just bought a used star kit stage 2. i know the kid and i know its in good shape, but he has a 95 and i have a 96. hence the obvious, what do i need for my fuel system? i don;t want to run 20 lbs and make 800 hp...all i want is like 7-8 lbs of boost with as little trouble possible. so...

1. what ratio fmu do i need?

2. vc-1 or vc-2...and if 2 what voltage.

3. what do i need to do with the fuel pump.
as far as i know i'm not getting one so can i use my old one, or if i have to get a new one can it be inline or something easy?...(heard a lot of horror stories with getting old ones off)

well lemme know what u guys think i should do, i just want this to go on and work, i'm not into calculations for fuel stuff yet...there's a lot of things to consider, i just wanna know what will get my by safely. thanks for your help and you guys are the greatest, way smarter than satan:)

First, make sure all of the parts are there. Like oil pan fittings, oil lines, pipes, pipe connectors, FMU. Get a mechanical fuel pressure gauge if you don't have one.

>1. what ratio fmu do i need?
Depends on what boost you run. At least on the HRC kit, 9 psi take a higher gain disk than 6 psi.

>2. vc-1 or vc-2...and if 2 what voltage.

You'll definitely need one of these. I have a '95, so I can't comment much. I believe that anything over 4.7V should trigger a CEL.

If you just have a stock pump, that will not be good enough. A $125 Walbro 255 lph Hi-press can easily do 6 psi boost. For 9 psi boost, I would suggest a higher performance pump like the HRC inline model (coupled with your stock one). I didn't have any trouble replacing my in-tank pump...but I have heard stories from 1G owners.

Sometimes I think that Satan exclusively hires people that have been fired from Burgerking for negligence.
