Right now we're at 7 psi with a fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump and apexi safc2.

I'm not a big fan of the raising fuel pressure route, but it's probably the cheapest and arguably the easiest way to get extra fuel. My problem lies in the precision, or lack thereof.

Jeez... I'm lost. Don't want to put you on the stand, but those 2 quotes Don't change the Fpr, don't go with the Raised Fuel Pressure(fmu). What should I do then? Just change the fuel pump and the injectors?

I'm lost

As I'm sure you know most Lancer turbo kits raise fuel pressure to meet consumption needs. I'm not a fan of doing this because it lacks the tunability and precision of say...larger injectors and appropriate fuel control.

You can raise fuel pressure without changing your FPR. An FMU doesn't replace your stock FPR. Personally I think larger injectors and accompanying fuel management are the way to go. It requires a lot more tuning and is probably going to cost more than just slapping on an FMU and using the stock injectors. Either way you will need the fuel pump. That help clarify a bit?

Sure did. But let me say it in my own words to make sure I clearly understood

I should get, fuel pump, larger injectors, electronic fuel management system(such as Safc, E-Manage, meguasquirt, or even a full stand alone).

Are my own words right on it, or am I completly off?

That's what I would do personally (and what I did). But that's also the more complicated and expensive route, so be forewarned. That's the downside. The upside is that you'll have the ability to precisely tune your fuel rather than spray and pray. I don't know exactly what the bare minimum would be for larger injectors in regard to fuel control though. It may be as simple as E-manage or S-AFC2 or it may be as complicated as standalone, ya know? Someone who's more familiar with piggybacks could probably field that.

Similar to Hobie, I do agree that if yo uare doing it, you should do it right. Just to clear up the mud, the AEM (if I recall correctly) are adjustable so you can adjust the base pressure. The correct unit is for the 94 - 01 integra, and all you will need is a bigger o-ring from any parts store.

I also tend to stray away from FMUs. I prefer a decent sized injector, a decent FPR and a piggyback as opposed to the FMU units. FMUs will be cheaper in the long run but precision and accuracy are what stand between a finely tuned machine and a blown motor at the side of the road.
