97990, fuel
Posted by smoove2022, Oct-30-06 05:13 AM
I have recently installed a T3 .48 A/R turbo running 5-7psi. The only mod I have done to increase fuel delivery is the addition of the vortech 12:1 FMU and a walbro 255lph pump. How much boost will the FMU support? I would like to eventually be in the 300hp range. What can I do now to support the addition of a better fuel management system in the future? Maybe bigger injectors? Can anyone recommend a good/inexpensive injector i could upgrade to that will support my 300hp goal, and still run with my current setup?

Thanks

you dont need to upgrade, you have a stock bottom end.

You need to upgrade to an eic, portfueler, ms, or stand alone for the best results. You can use a sfmu but save money and spend it on building the block and upgrading the fuel system. Most people don't go over 8 psi on an fmu that I know. DONT do it though, build your block FIRST.

Exactly, there is no reason to upgrade your fuel system even more because if you run higher boost, your just gonna blow something up on the stock. Put your money towards a built bottom end, and megasquirt.
