Need advice on a fuel system for FPGreen

So here is my EVO IX's list of mods.
BR Delux Intercooler with all the piping
BR Ex mani
BR intake
Megan O2
BR 3inch Turbo back no cat
ARP studs
Welbro 255
Fp Green tubo

So here is my delema, I put on the Green now im going to need more fuel. I keep hearing differnt answers from everyone.

Do i need a Fuel pressure regulator and a fuel rail or can i just throw the injectors on and tune.

Could i run the stock injectors and just add a nice meth kit instead.

Lets hear some ideas i wanna finish up my car soon.......... Thanks everybody

You do NOT need a FPR or a larger fuel rail for the setup. You already have the walbro therefor you need larger injectors and a nice tune. I highly suggest a Wideband o2 if you don't have one yet for precautions. As for the size of injectors needed will depend on how much boost.

I have a AEM wide band just didnt feel the need to mention it. Ive herd that the stock fuel rail doesnt distributes the fuel very well. Ive also herd that the car will idle and drive poorly at low rpms with out a Fuel Presure Reg. These were both from 2 unnamed venders that i was trying to buy parts from. The more i look into it the more i think they were hicking up my parts bill. Mellon just puts a pump and injectors in and starts whoopin butt if im not mistaken.

Stock fuel rail can be utilized even on larger turbo's, as for the FPR that will not be needed on your setup. The bulk of it lies in getting the fuel needed "Injectors and Pump" and a quality tune. I'm not saying you couldn't run a larger rail but more so it's not necessary at this stage.

Just get some injectors and get a tune. No need for the other stuff.

93 octane? PTE 1000cc and a single walbro would be enough fuel for up to 500awhp. No need for fpr or fuel rails.. In fact I'm still using the stock FPR at 700awhp.

No need for the FPR like everyone is saying. You have the 255lph, get that, some bigger injectors PTE, FIC or ID and a good tune. You will be good to go. Your money can be spent in better places than an FPR and Fuel rail. The stock ones are just fine for the power levels your going to make.

Good luck

I just made 500 on pte 1000s and a double pumper on E85. Upgrade your injectors to at least 1000s to have some room to play with in the future.

You did this on an HTA green. I am not sure if the OP's turbo is the 73HTA or the standard 20g version.

fixed.

Just kidding. Do what you have available. E-85 is much safer, however.
