for the injectors go with Deatshwerks. They are great quality, awsome to deal with, and they are actually the cheapest.

its not a bad setup, but your not really pushing that turbo to hard. you would be better off going with a gt3071r, or if you want to save some money you could hit about 400 with a gt2876r or gt2871r and stick with the t2 configuration.

I would go with an enthalpy tune as well. its cheaper and just as good as a standalone.

unless your planning to spend a lot of time on a dyno there is no point in the adjustable cam gears either.

if your rebuilding for reliability replacing your hydraulic lifters with tomei solid lifters would be a good idea as well.

thanks man...the biggest thing with the standalone is the elimination of MAF so i dont have to worry about that anymore... what about the cams? will 272 be ok on both intake and exhaust?

yes 272 will be fine.

oh...and you seriously dont think i will put the cam gears to good use? they wont be that helpful?

nope, you have to spend a lot of time on a dyno and a lot of time pulling your valve cover off to set them up. they are for trying to squeeze every last drop of hp out of your engine. if your not racing your car, i don't think they are of much use.

but if you can spend the time and money to set them up then have at it. you def. won't be any better off. but they will cost more to setup that to actually purchase them.

[usncorpsman]

i guess that is one advantage that a belt has over a chain such as b series hondas...they can cut out where the timing belt cover is and they can adjust the gears all day long...ok...well you have a good point...ive got enough mods to the point that i dont really need to squeeze every last bit of hp...ill use the money for the cam gears on the solid lifters

[karmakaze]

ill use the money for the cam gears on the solid lifters

good call.

[usncorpsman]

will 740cc be big enough for the injectors?

[karmakaze]

yeah, i think.

but you might as well get the 800cc to be on the safe side.check out the injector calculator on deatshwerks website

i am going to be running 740cc on my gt3076r, but i am going to crank up the fuel pressure a bit and tune for 800cc.

[usncorpsman]

is there any need for an aftermarket fpr?

[karmakaze]

is there any need for an aftermarket fpr?

yes. at that hp level you will have to run one. as well as a walbro fuel pump. and i recommend hardwiring your fuel pump with a relay to draw power straight from your battery.

[usncorpsman]

already got a walbro 255lph
