Good stuff His T51R 20B RX8 isn't bad either...

Um I believe is for another fuel rail which I have sitting around somewhere... Haven't looked into putting it on because fuel flow is the least of my problems atm.

Additional injector bungs. So he can add water/meth injection or more fuel injectors.

Yeah it'll hold two more injectors in there. So you can add more fuel if needed.

I really like the rims, but I agree they are too big. I love the dish, I would've went with a size or two smaller tho, and put more tire on the rims. The stance is really tight, just too low pro tires for my taste.

Great looking car tho!

I have the same front tyre on it as it does in the photos but I have new rear tyre on it now that are a larger profile and don't have that streached look on the rim. The 295s have a way bigger profile but I'm not sure that I like it, and it rubs on the gaurds anyway.

Its easy to do the same thing as everyone else and put smaller 'old school' dishes on it. But its a different story trying to do something different and still pulling it off with style. I like that its different and noone has that much dish on the front. But thats just me and I'm sure you all have reasons for doing the thing you to your FCs.

Hey guys. Just an update... Lost my license... Flew past a cop... Woops! Anyway wont be driving for the next three months, so I want be taking her to the beach this Christmas.

With this extra time and money from not spending it all on gas im going to invest some more coin into her. Tinting the windows, new turbo timer, EBC. But my question is im thinking of upgrading the fuel system and running more boost thru it.

What size injectors should I use and will I need to upgrade the fuel pumps to manage more flow? The set up in on the first post... Any input will be appreciated. I'm hoping to break 400rwkW, maybe even run a boost setting that allows 450rwkW but I imagine I'll dowel the engine before I push those numbers.

Hij.
