So you aren't getting enough fuel to your stock injectors and your solution is to get bigger injectors? Does that make sense? You need a fuel pump, and if you dont want another Walbro, then take your chances and get the DW or aeromotive. I would definitely put in the Wally, takes about 20 mins. Good luck with whatever route you choose.
stock injectors hit their absolute limit (go static?) somwhere in the 105-110 range in evoscan. that being said im pushing 103 from 6k up on stock injectors. ive always tried to keep my setups on every other car ive owned below 90 to be comfortable.
to me that doesnt mean im out of pump, it means im out of injectors. the thought was that putting in th ebigger injectors will give me a little safety pulling the idc's way down without requesting anything more from th epump for the time being. i know i need a pump, i just need to hold off on putting it in for now if possible.
as far as e85, its doubtful it will ever happen since i live in a state with zero pumps. it was just a thought in case i move at some point in the next two years. otherwise i just need enough fuel to support cams and the possibility of a stock block red/bbk setup.
I ran the stock pump on my IX and reached a point where it dropped fuel pressure. I have DEFI gauges so I could play back my runs and noticed the fuel pressure dropped at ~23psi and high rpm. I then swapped to the Walbro and fuel pressure remains constant. With the Walbro I don't notice any excessive whine from the pump. I would not recommend to add injectors without also upgrading the pump. Depending on your hp goals you may want to look into the Walbro or the new Aeromotive, which seems to provide the most flow for a single in tank pump.
