13bt..fuel starvation

which are the fuel system requirements for a street-ported 13b with t04e turbo and 800cc secondaries?
i mean ,how much gph at how much psi, should be the flow capacity of the pump?how much pressure must be set on the regulator?
any suggestions for an in-line fuel pump and a rising-rate regulator?

check out that page and see what you come up with, my suggestion for a fuel pump is a bosch 044. several people on the forum use them and i even saw them in a mazdatrix drag race car, so that has to say something for the quality and flow rate.
for a regulator i found by reading alot and asking questions my self that a true "rising rate" regulator is not too good. a true 1:1 ratio is better for over all tuning and delivery. since i have a aeromotive one i geuss i recommend it it has worked nicely for me so far.

do you remember the model of your aeromotive?
is it a standalone regulator?cause i 've red of some fmu's that need to fitted after the stock regulator.
i also like to use a surge tank.so i need a second pump to feed the tank.is there any problem to use a high preesure pump too?

its the 80$ regulator with -10 an fittings for it got it at summitracing.com. if you look at the pic i dont have a stock regulator cause they would negate eachother and fight so i just spent the extra $ and did it right. surge tank is a good idea thats what i have under the rear end. i think a relativly high psi lift pump is good that way your surge tank doesnt run out too while your hauling.
