I am ordering my clip soon, I already have a 255l walbro fuel pump, a greddy 2mm headgasket, nippon 555 cc injectors, and a tomei tuned ecu for 555 cc injectors, z32 mafs, no boost cut and no rev cut, and JUN 264 cams.I'm going to be using an aftermarket front mount intercooler (once I get piping figured out).Anyway my questions are:first, what fuel pressure to use? stock fpr adequate, should I do a drop in replacement or a universal riser that goes in series after it?

Second, what boost level? at first I plan on using stock turbo but I want to upgrade to a T28..

Finally, if I buy an SR downpipe and have it welded to fit the stock T25, will it still fit if I upgrade to T28?

also, anyone know if the ca18de timing belt fits? need a new timing belt.

thanks a million!andrew

i would get a aftermarket FPR with a rising rate like the stock one has .

boost level 15-18psi is what im goin to run

Sr will have to be cut and welded it will fit the T28 but be a bit long

CA timming belt is the replacement for the DET one

any one wanting to buy a CA down pipe with in a month EMail me at [email protected], im want to know how many people actually want one now so i know how many to run off and get the price out there for yah

hmm, could you recommend any specific product (for the fuel pressure regulator?)I'm also guessing I will need some time on the dyno to play with the pressure to dial it in?I don't understand about the timing belt replacement question, I think you are saying that the regular US one will fit the RWD engine?

Also, what size are you gonna be making those down pipe (3", maybe?)I'm interested.

try a nismo one for the SR or a aeramotive product maybe. most likely you will have to use one that mounts off the rail and convert the rail to ans fittings or how ever you spell them .
