Update: I was running without the AFPR and with a 12:1 Fmu disk, now I swapped to a 8:1 disk, the afpr, and still Kl injectors. I was flodding past 5500 Rpm! I´ll say you anything as soon as I have my new radiator installed!

update:
I am investigating on adapting a thermical interchanger water-air as an intercooler. I must need to know what efficiency it has, but it look really compact!!

---------------
t35, stock injectors, stock(?) fuel pump,12:1 fmu and safc.
---------------

I`m planning on running 8 psi max, would I then need a 12:1 fmu, isn`t that a bit overkill?
Also, is the stock injectors big enough to handle the fuelflow needed for 8 psi if I go with a walbro 225 pump?

Does anyone have an aprox. price for these parts too?

don't get that vortech fmu...It's a pain to shange disc..go with the cartech 2025..a little more priecy but worth it ...You can set base fuel pressure (off boost) and turn a screw to set the rising rate (4:1 - 12:1)..unlike that vortech fmu...easier and better :)

wich injectors are easiest to get for the Mx3?
220cc/min seems to be enough.
Also, with an fmu, do I need en extra inline fuelpump? Dont see myself doing anymore than maximun 8 psi of boost.

Does anyone have any clue as to how much whp I should expect?

NB, Battosai: how did you install the walbro pump in the tank? is it easy to replace the oem pump?
