FMU's require an inline fuel pump to create higher fuel pressure. The in tank can do high volume, but not high pressure.

Actually they do make a high pressure intank fuel pump (i have one).
Holley/walbro 255lph HP.
Works great for me.

vietjdmboi.....how much boost do you plan to run?
5psi or less you can use stock injectors, above that i wouldn't recomend using stock injectors.

You should be fine. I ran that on my d15 and stock injectors.
Your fuel pressure will be pretty high so i would recomend 310cc injectors and lower the fmu ratio to 6:1 or 8:1.

with stock injectors yes 12:1
larger then stock then you can lower the ratio.
I'm runing 310cc injectors with a 4:1 fmu, and a sfc to lean it out more. weird but it works.

I had a 12:1 fmu in my car for a while, it seemed to work fine. Later on I got a feilds sfc fuel controller and was tuning the car with that. One day i took out the fmu to see what the car would do and to my suprise it felt the exact same. I got on it and shut the car down and checked the plugs and they looked the exact same. Now i find it alot easyer to tune my car without the fuel pressure rise to add to the equation. But if you dont have a fuel controller and your running stock injectors the 12:1 fmu works fine on 7-9psi.

fuel controller & bigger injectors=
fmu=
