Inline pump (any works), missing link (to keep those CEL's away for good... at least the MAP cel hehe), and 12:1 disk and you will be running rich on the safer side, your good . If your car starts dying or hesitating theres a good chance the disk got stuck for future reference... just take the top off the fmu and check it out.

Yeah, stock injectors are fine for 6psi on a stock B18B. I'm actually running the same setup, and I just have the FMU, and a Supra TT fuel pump.....works fine.

Yes at 6 psi you'll be fine on stocks at least for a year before they may crap out from crazy high fuel pressure overtaxing them.... just DONT boost more then 15 seconds at a time because at 100psi of fuel pressure to force more fuel in the stock injectors get REAL hot... and when they are REAL hot then how much fuel is being delivered.... but under normal conditions you are safe on the rich side...

Some people like to get rc 310cc injectors and run a 8 or 10:1 disc still with the inline pump, but its all up to you.

AFC wouldn't help all that much, but if you wanna look into the AFC hack method for delivering fuel imo its better then the FMU method and safer in most respects... I'm ditching my FMU setup for it... all info can be found here:

what do the drag 3 and revhard kits do for fuel? and for the injectors, do i need some sort of resistor box, or is that only for the AFC hack?

the drag 3 kit utilizes an inline fuel pump and a 12:1 fmu for fuel delivery. stock injectors and stock ignition are fine for 6 lbs of boost. if you just run off of the wastegate, you'll be fine w/ that setup.

Rev hard has the exact same fuel setup.

As for injectors you ONLY need resistor box setup for peak and hold injectors which are commonly DSM 450cc injectors (cause they are cheap used), otherwise its easier to snag 4 rc 310's, 370's cause they plug right in so to speak.

these guys have pretty much told you the 411 to what you need to know.

your choice:
1)stock injectors, inline fuel pump, and fmu 12:1 ratio

OR

2)310cc injectors, inline fuel pump, and fmu 8:1 ratio

this is a simple fuel setup for what you wanna boost.

One more thing.

Don't waste $50 on the missing link for 6 psi. Just use fish tank valves. You will need two. It won't cost more than $5. I have a setup that works to 8 psi you can have for $5 plus shipping. Just email me randygaz@attbi.com

$50 or $5 for the same result. You make the choice.

BTW-I have heard of missing links clogging up, I have never heard of fish-tank valves clogging up.

Well you are right the missing link IS expensive but I know too many people that have these "check valves" rigged up and get CEL's all the time.... I've never once had any problems with the missing link and couldn't understand how you would... its just a damn piece of metal in the shape of your map sensor lol.... I wouldn't pay for one myself but I haven't had a single problem with boost signal but then again I didn't pay for the ML myself, it was included with the kit I bought. I suggest finding/buying a used one if you can.
