Fuel Pump: Inline or Intank?
I've been seeing and reading about both of these for use on my turbo setup...
correct me if im wrong, but i understand that if i use the INLINE fuel pump (located in the bay), i wont neccesarily need to upgrade the injectors, and use a FMU + missing link...
and with the INTANK fuel pump, I will have to upgrade the injectors and use a standalone?...
Any input is appreciated
Im looking to get the walbro brand ... If that makes a difference

What WHP do you want? That will give you a starting point for choosing an injector. You will also need something like Neptune, Hondata, or Crome.

Re: Fuel Pump: Inline or Intank?
Whew finaly! Thanks for response...
But ok, my car is a DD, so Im targeting between 230 and 250 WHP.
I just met a guy who was using a full Greddy 18g Turbo for about 2yrs now. He has STOCK fuel pump, and I think he said his injectors were precision 3xx cc. And the only reason why he upgraded that was because it came with the kit he bought... (kid is the luckiest kid I know who gets a full Greddy 18g turbo, fmic piping and everything, injectors, wideband/guage, boost control/gauge and other stuff for a wooping twelve hundred!!!)=DEAL
I will eventually ending getting a fuel pump and injectors in the long run, but since im tight on money, I want something that will get my car going in the mean time on low boost and Daily Driving.

Re: Fuel Pump: Inline or Intank?
Is 230-250WHP your end goal or temporary?
Get parts according to your end goal, otherwise you'll end up spending more money in the long run. If you eventually want 400WHP then get injectors required for that goal now; 240cc injectors cost the same as 750cc.
I don't remember how far a stock pump will go but if you starve your car of fuel bad things will happen. A Walbro is only about $100.

"Get parts according to your end goal"
I really want to do this ^^^^ Or at least Im actually trying. but as of now, I'm focused on getting parts according to my bank. But none the less, I am not trying to cheap out, so if it means I have to wait an extra 2weeks for that paycheck then I'll do it.
Another thing is, I've managed my way into this mindset that, "if it doesnt NEED to be replaced, then Im not going to replace it....
So yea, Thanks for your input and feed me with any more points/advice/tips
Yes Sir, I am leaning more torwards this one.

Get a 255 pump. Some 750cc injectors and use a good tuner. That way you could upgrade to e85 if you wanted to make more safe power.

Re: Fuel Pump: Inline or Intank?
HA! Yeah, that's because people very very rarely stay with the first numbers they state.
You can make that power easily with stock internals. I'd still get a Walbro, and a set of 550cc or possibly 750cc injectors.

Re: Fuel Pump: Inline or Intank?
Walbro would be good and e85 would give u a safer boost as stated above. I once.started like you. But once u start boosting u realize there are DD in the 500+whp tht are solid. Its alll a personal preference of wht u r happy with in the end. If looking for injectors I have a set of rc550s lol but your goal will be easily accomplished. The hardest part will be staying there and not wanting more ...
