Newbie Question about turbo fuel system upgrades
Alright... to start off I have a turbo RX7 so I'm not completely new to turbo but as far as the turbo setup on my 93 teg I'm kinda lost on my fuel system. I plan on running anywhere from 4-8psi max. I need it as a daily driver and I'm not after huge HP numbers. I have a T3 turbo with an intercooler and BOV and bla bla bla...
So far I have an APEXi SAFC installed and everything else fuel related is stock. I have been told sooooooo many things by everyone I talk to. From what I've heard I've been told to upgrade to a 255 Walbro fuel pump. I've also been told that I can use my stock injectors with no problem because I don't plan on boosting over 8psi. I just need to know exactly what you guys would recommend. I don't want to go overkill with the fuel system seeing that my wallet is hurtin pretty bad from the rest of the turbo setup. I just need a fuel system setup that will handle 7-8 psi max... nothing more and nothing less.
Thanks guys

well since its gonna be driven every day you want a reliable fuel setup. Cheap does not equal reliable. 8 psi on that t3 will get you in low to mid 200s, so i would get a ems like uberdata if you are looking for something cheap. And i would upgrade injectors like to some 440s, you can get those for cheap. Ditch the apexi controller.

Re: (xwinterhalox)
Where can I find reasonably priced Uberdata setups and is tuning it something I can do seeing that there are no local shops to tune it? Are they installed similar to the Apexi SAFC as far as wiring goes?
Also, I've heard the DSM Injectors don't fit properly and can leak... is this true?
So you're sayin if I went with Uberdata and 440cc injectors I'd be alright? I've also been told that 440's would be overkill and I could get by with some 310's... I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just stating what I've been told.Thanks

Uberdata is a free program you download, you have to prep your ecu for it too, do a search on it, you should find plenty of info on this site about it. I'm sure there are plenty of tuners in new york, your search for uberdata might find one. 440s are ok, your tuner can will adjust all that.
