Yes.Either that or do water injection.motor set doesn't come with a sidemount?As far as I know you need inter/injection on anything past 4-5lbs.

Would be wise to get the fuel pump.I don't know exactly if you do or not but mine as well get it so you don't have to worry.What site you buying from?

I've seen people do 7-10 psi on un-intercooled KA's. Its far more benificial just to get an intercooler though, added safety and power.

In my opinion water injection is not worth the effort, especially on low boost intercooled motors.

sunrisejapanese.com a company in Montreal. so $2100 cdn for everything on their list. so then $300 for a koyo rad, $600+ for a IC and $100 for the fuel pump. so anything else? downpipe?

If you want a walbro 255 I have one with about 1000 miles on it, with a new S13 install kit and pickup sock! E-mail me at [email protected] if you want it, and yes i would put one in and an interccoler too, both add safety and the intercooler will help make more power, plus with both of those you can up the boost to 12-14.

No, you don't need an intercooler on stock boost on an SR.

If the manufacturer designed it to run reliably @ stock boost, why would you need to upgrade?
