Yes you can. The rails are the same AFAIK.

I've just checked the EPC's and it is the same part number for Jap or UK spec.

On the topic of fuel systems, is there any advantage to running a high volume fuel pump with the standard j-spec injectors?

Just wondering as I can't quite afford the injectors/resistor pack for a while yet, but could get hold of a walbro fuel pump without too much probs. Have heard that even with just the bigger pump there is a bit of improvement over standard and would like confirmation of this.

Cheers. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Arbee - we can discuss it over lunch, numpty http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

MattH's fueling was significantly better than mine when both were dyno'd on the same setup (1.3bar stock j-specs etc).
This was down to his uprated fuel pump and rising rate regulator. It's a bodge but it must surely help until the funds are available....

Walbro 255L/h Hi pressure fuel pump should suffice. This can be doubled up later due to its lower power demands that the UK pump. Should you ever go for a single http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hello All,

I have just spoken with FSE and they are sending me a price for :-

1) Walbro pump kit
2) FSE power boost valve
3) Oil filled guage for valve
4) Stanless piping and finishers

When I have received the qoute I will post full pricing, but should not be too expensive hopefully.

cheers

what does the oil-filled gauge do ? http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I think its a Fuel Pressure gauge which is oil damped. Some gauges use oil as a damping mechanism to stop needle jitter.

i've got a FSE but am not sure if i have this gauge, at least have never seen it. am i missing something here ?

The gauge connects directly to the valve and displays fuel pressure, if you already have a valve then speak to FSE as they are only ?16.

I have been given an approx price of ?240 incl VAT and delivery on a complete kit but will get comfirmation over the weekend hopefully.

Fuel pressure at idle only which is fine for setting up (once) and then becomes redundant.

Very true but it looks good http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biglaugh.gif and all the big fuel kits from the US include them.

I have just had confirmation that the price is 240 incl VAT and delivery, i am also enquiring about a group buy discount.

Will let you know.
