Default FPR and fuel rail?

I was wondering if you think i will need an FPR and fuel rail if im going to be running about 10 psi on my B18B1 with a T3/To4e 57 Trim turbo. I will be running 440cc injectors and have the system tuned properly with hondata or maybe neptune. I am aiming for close to 300whp and im also thinking of turning it up to 15psi for a couple 1/4 mile passes.

Do you think the FPR and fuel rail are necessary or not?

I'd keep the FPR. I wouldn't know how to adjust my fuel pressure without mine.

Ditch the fuel rail though. It's never the limiting factor in your fuel system. If you need more fuel, just get a stronger fuel pump and adjust the fuel pressure.

Why do you need a Fuel Pressure Regulator? Just get the right size injectors to begin with.

Only get a fuel rail if your shooting for over 400whp.

You're missing the point. He's not "getting" anything. The rail and regulator are already coming with the kit he's buying.

I heard that using a bigger fuel rail will prevent the pulsing effect that you will get with larger injectors.. I figure for the $120 or so why not get one..

On my setup I kinda need it since I use an Aeromotive FPR that doesnt bolt on to the fuel rail..
