Default Fuel Pump and Injectors.

Ok guys I've searched an read through several of my books to know avail. I just purchased a Phamspeed turbo kit, so I am going to need larger injectors and fuel pump. My end result is ~600 FWHP, so I plan for that. That will be achieved after I have forged internals. Right now I'm shooting for 500FWHP. OK so I ran the math and for 600 FWHP I'm going to need 57 lbs-hr injectors and a 58.53 gal-hr fuel pump (~222 litres-hr). But for my current goal of ~500FWHP I only need 47 lbs-hr injectors and a 48.78 gal-hr pump. Would it be safe for me to run Venom 60 lbs-hr injectors and a Walbro 255 intake pump? Even though I will only be making ~500 FWHP to start, meaning the tuner will have to "lean" out on the injectors, not the mix, but just not work the injectors as hard. I have read that this can cause serious driveability issues at low RPMs. Or would it be easier to get the Walbro 255 and ~47 lbs-hr injectors and stick with 500 FWHP. Will the Walbro 255 be to powerful and jack up my psi? I calculated all this on 4 bar (58.02 psi). Does anyone have a link on how to install the intake pump or the inline pump for that matter? I'm keeping stock rails, regualtor, and this will still be a returnless system. Thanks for any and all help.

pm'd you back.

Charlie.

Basically the Walbro will use the factory regulator if your using stock lines so it wont raise the pressure from the pump unnecessarily.
I would get the end state 60# inj now, since its close to what your going to need. Tuning will resolve any inj. driveability issues. Search for intank how to.
