CA Can I get better prices?

I am looking to see if I can get better prices on a few parts. Here is what I have.

Apex fuel pump $389
HKS Twin Power $385
HKS Twin Power Harness $35
Greddy Pulley Kit $135
RC Engineering Injectors 1600cc and 800cc $185 each.

Need pricing for FJO Peak & Hold injector driver and wiring harness. Need pricing for 3 Greddy ti exhaust gaskets.

Any input or direction would be great.

I know that five-o motors I can get injector a lot cheaper. I think I will go this route witht he injectors. As far as the other things I am looking for the best deal I can get.

Thanks.

I would be more concerned with getting a decent vendor than getting the absolutely lowest price.

This is true. With what I am looking for thought is not hard to get. I just need to make sure it is the real deal.

I just stared to compare with RX7 store and found that the pricing I have is about what they can offer. I think I my go with Bosch injectors to cut the pricing down.

Bosch injectors or if you can get some good denso's from ford. Bosch you can pick up for about 60-70 per 1600cc injector.

The best place to start is getting prices off ebay and then searching the rx7 store vendors for comparable rates and using the rx7 vendor. Ebay is probably the best starting point for priceing items.

The walbro and supra pump are out preformed by the Apex. Also I can stick with one pump using the Apex.

that may be true, but have you done the math to see if the cheaper one can provide the fuel flow/pressure that will be needed to feed your injectors? if you don't plan on going to larger injection later, spending the money on a pump that can outperform another when either can suit your needs is just waste of money.

food for thought.

because more fuel pumps means more points of failure. Why run the risk when you can pay what is a basically nominal ammount extra for the piece of mind of having one pump? If I could do it over again, I'd have a single pump setup.

Thanks for the link.

As far a aduel pump set up I would be spending close to the same if not more for a duel set up. Also I do not what to have to worry about two pumps. I do like some of the twin pump set ups that people have made, but if I was to go withthe twin set up I would buy one of the nicer carriers and then go with twin supra pumps. this will put me at or higher then and Apex pump.

Also Goodfella seems to be doing fine withthe Apex and the power heis putting done.

I want to have a max of 500 hp at the wheels when al is said and done.

If you're going for those numbers then a dual setup would be the better route. The Apex GT pump only flows 240-280 lph. For 1 apex pump you could be running 2x Walbro 255s, never run out of fuel and have money left over. Unless you're looking at another pump than I am then that apex pump is 1)overpriced and 2) only marginally better for your goals. Benefits do not outweigh the cost, imo.
