been thinking about puttin an sr t25 on my engine. mods are

ca18detfmic3" turbo backintakewalbro 190lph

I was thinking only issue should be fuel, i was planning on 300zx fuel filter and nismo fpr, but not really injectors. Is there anything else I should have to use this thing properly?

It depends entirely what boost level you want to run at. It'll be fine at 7-9 psi or so, but injectors will definitely be your limiting factor.

Should be fine with the stock injectors—based on what I've read, they won't be a problem on the SR T25 until about 14psi, then you hit the cut-off. I'm going to be running this set-up on mine:

Walbro 255lphNismo FPRZ32 Fuel FilterARC smic3" exhaustcone filter

Probably around 10-12psi. I bet some of the more experienced guys will chime in and offer some more 'hands-on' experience with these SR turbos.

IDK if the stock injectors are going to handle 14psi on an SR T25. If they will you're going to be REALLY close to their limits.

You'll prob hit the cut out on the MAFS/ECU before that happens regardless.

i dont have a problem keep it at or under 10psi until i get some injectors and tuning equipment. will the 190lph pump be an issue? i got it because when i did i saw that it would handle a bit more hp than my goal (250whp tops, not with this turbo though probably).

When I got mine dynoed tuned the other day, it was super rich @11psi on a sr t25.......I have stock injectors, stock maf, stock regulator, and walbro 255. I hear the stock regulator can't handle the 255, so I don't know if thats the case on mine causing the richness.Once they leaned out the s-afc2 the afr's went up to a decent number @ 13-14psi, and now it doesn't hit cut when I get to 14psi....which is a nice bonus .

I've hit 16psi on stock injectors and ECU, with a Nismo FPR, KA24E MAF and Wlabro 255lph. No fuel cut yet, but I am backing the boost off. A lot. Spiking that bad is SCARY.
