Getting a full race kit with 1000ID injectors and a 255. Do I need a fuel rail and a regulator for 400whp goal?

 

y full race turbo kit?

and no not necessarily

 

It's been recommended to me. I'd like to start with 400 and move towards 600. 400 obviously with stock motor and 600 once I build it and get tons of other parts.

 

So 400-600whp range you say he doesn't need a fuel rail and fuel regulator for a daily driver? I don't think stock can handle that much for a daily beat on....



I told OP to look into Mase rather than full race for a newcomber turbo owner.

 

I'm running that exact setup (full-race, ID1000's, 255 walbro) with the stock fuel rail and regulator, and I'm over 400hp.

 

How? Why do I need a fuel regulator for a 320whp supercharger but a turbo above 400whp goal doesn't? To even run safe for a DD?

 

Are you running a full stand alone like K-Pro or AEM?

 

For me, I plan on running a piggyback Vortech FMU unit before I lower the pulley and then it will be a AEM Series 2 after I do more. But even then I plan on running a fuel regulator and also have a fuel rail handy with 725cc injectors.


What I don't understand is how he doesn't need a fuel pressure regulator and a fuel rail to make this thing reliable. These parts on this car at 72k miles aren't meant for this. I don't see why you recommend it being OK for a DD.



OP has a EMS I believe. Not sure if Series 2 or not.

 

The stock fuel rail and regulator are good for over 500hp IIRC.

The reason you need a FPR with the Comptech or Vortech kit is due to the piggyback units they use. I had a Comptech kit, and the ESM that came with it hid boost from the ECU. You then need a FPR to add fuel since the ECU won't do it. You don't have to hide boost from a stand alone.

 

Leave the stock rail and fpr alone unless you need them for fuel demands. Stock hardware can flow enough for anything you can make 93
