Default RE: Upgrading fuel - does this make sense?

Ok, can I use the 720 s on that turbo? I mean I am getting them cheap. Or much cheaper than new 650s.

On the exhaust...uh...straight pipe? Yes, I am replacing it. I just thought I could work with what I have. But if I get an safc, the money I save can go towards a better exhaust.

So should I go with the SAFC? Is the Apexi a good one?

As for exhaust, I figure I would go with 3in turbo back. That means I need a 3in outlet on the turbo right?

Thx

yes it does, and ron i think he meant that whatever exhaust he gets, he wants it to SOUND like the one he has now, and apexi is a good safc, that's actually the only one that i've seen

Ok this is what I am going with.

Evo III 16G Turbo - internal wastegate/ported/34mm flapper
Greddy FMIC
720 Injectors - I can work with these can't I?
Walbro 255 fuel pump - same cost as the 190
AFPR - I was literally given this thing so we are gonna see how it works
Apexi SAFC neo
AEM 6 in 1 wideband - gauge type
Magnaflow hi-flow 3in cat - i cant stand the fuel smell
Apexi N1 3in cat back exhaust

Let me know. I know DSMlink is better, but I also read the safc is good for noobs like me.

Thx

okay I would recomend using smaller injectors. Safc can't handle larger than like 660cc and they are more than adequate for what you wanna do.

The thing about the fuel pressure regulator is you need to set your idle fuel pressure. Usually you can do it without the gauge, but its nice to have. Just giving you a heads up on that.

You dont need the 6 in 1. That's expensive as ****. You could just get the boost gauge and wideband separate.

Also high flow cats are a bitch.

Yea, thats why my friend was recommending the 720s with the dsmlink. Guess i'm getting 650s from somewhere.

Hmmm

The AFPR that was given to me has a gauge on it. So it seems like I lucked up on it. Alright!

So what do you recommend for the wideband?

Thx

i would still get the 720's and then sell them on dsmtrader.com or ebay, cause you should get a decent amount out of 'em, then use that money to pay for the 660's, any little bit helps, right? and yea i'm plannin on going with a bigger cat once i get my car running, i'm not sure why sebba doesnt like em so much

Well that makes sense sk8d, I have to see what happens with the injectors.

Well I need a cat everytime a lady jumps in my car, the first thing I hear is "What's that smell?" Lol And I have to drive with my windows open coz my ac doesn't work. I have one sitting at home that I haven't installed yet.

I wish I knew why sebba doesn't like them too.

Hey it's definite that the SAFC will work with 660 injectors right?

Also, since I have a catless exhaust and I am getting a cat, will I have to replace my downpipe or anything in order for it to fit (keep in mind the cat and cat back are upping to 3in)?

Thx all and thx sk8d for the links.

yea i would say you'd have to upgrade ur downpipe, i mean, why wouldn't you? if you're opening ur exhaust up to 3", why bottleneck up ur exhaust in the downpipe?? and yes the safc will definitely work with the 660cc's, good luck man
