    Question

    I want to upgrade my fuel system on my boosted Integra GSR '96. I currently have stock 240cc injectors, 12:1 Vortech FMU and inline fuel pump. Would my car be able to idle and run good if I got 370cc saturated RC injectors, 6:1 vorech FMU disc and a Walbro 255 high pressure intank pump? Or, would I still need something else?

    First, I am making the assumption that you have a TURBOCHARGED car with a 12:1 Vortech FMU... using this on a JRSC car would create all kinds of problems.
    You would still need the ability to lower your idle fuel pressures, because the 370's would be WAY too big.
    Also, I believe that in order to create the proper rise rate (using the 6:1 disc), you would want to use a set of 320's instead.

    Thanks for replying. Yes I have a turbocharged car running the Drag GenIII kit with some upgraded components. I have a rebuilt engine running 9:1 compression with JE Pistons and Eagle Rods, that's why I wanted to up my boost to about 12psi.

    So, what would I use to be able to lower the idle fuel pressures? Would I need a Fuel Pressure Regulator or an AFC?

    Sh4rky: If you want an alternative from the high fuel pressures imposed from unreliable FMUs, I suggest you try out the new device called the SMC. [img]wink.gif[/img] Learn more about the SMC here:
