Why the extra four fuel injectors if your going to run gas? 1200cc X 1600CC in stock location should be more then enough.. and save you trouble and money then having to setup the additional injectors.
Or are you just running four injectors as you said, and are not using injectors in the stock location? 8 injectors would be an over kill imo if your running gas.
If you plan on running alcohol, then I would see why it would be necessary to have 8 injectors.
Just kinda curious as to why you want to run 8... or 4 in a different location?

No there is just going to be 4 all together, The pic up above is all hacked up my bad. You can't really see it but I'm making new custom fuel rail and brackets with 1000 cc primary and secondary. Always running about 110 octane probably never pump

extra' pic's
here are some pics of the engine bay my lil bro's setup in his FC and my Lil bro's intake manifold complete. The pic's above were taken the night before with custome manifold before i took it to the hot tank. My bro's has his custome fuel injectors and fuel rail mounted with the custome intake box. Im not there yet but getting there.
Like my lil bro I'm going to mount the fuel injectors in the same spot as his.
For motor Im usting the 85 12a plates 85 gsl-se housing's with large street ports on all of them.
On the gsl-se housing's i took off the exhaust ring thing umm bompers I forgot what the hell there called, to maximize my ports.
I would like to run 110 octane all day with a 150 shot of nos
Want to boost around 15-18 pounds steady
for electronics it's gunna be simple im gunna run the mega squirt for ****'s and giggles for the time being for simplicity reason's.
Turbo Two tranny
Running a seperate ignition going to run the msd 6AL Box's x2 and x2 MSD BLASTER 3 COILS.
Nine inch rear end unsure of the gearing right now.
Inter cooler is going to be mounted in front of the car on the front part of the gril.

I see what you mean with the fuel rail.
Looks like on big project, making a custom firewall?
What are you doing the the rear end?
Looks really nice, keep up the good work! :-)

I hope to have my waste gate mounted and tached and then welded by the end of this week, get my upper and lower intake manifold back by the end of the week, and order my throttle body tps, and start moving away from that and start my fuel system.
I'm doing everything in stages. Next is all fuel, includes the following
fuel cell and brackets
fuel lines
fuel injectors
fuel rail
fuel fittings
fuel pump and fuel filter

Simplicity is no reason to use MS. Granted it will be low cost, but will also be more complex to set up initially. Once debugged and tuned properly, I doubt you'll be able to justify switching to another EMS. It's far beyond '***** n giggles'...

I changed my mind and decided to go with the stock location on the intake manifold and run 1000cc all the way accross. Im making custom fuel rails and fuel brackets in the stock location for the upper. I will drill two new holes for he primary injectors weld in fuel bungs custome make a fuel rail and then custome make a fuel bracket run the lines and fittings and it is a done deal.
The way you have your fuel injectors setup is not the best idea to maximize flow for the fuel, if they were dead top on top of the intake runners or lower at an angle on the outside of the intake then you would be okay. Or the best results is to weld fuel bungs on top of the lower intake manifold below the upper make custome brackets and stuff and your set.

very nice setup. i'll be watching this thread.
on a side note, do your homework on those Accufab TBs. there was a time when they were the subject of controversy in the MR2 community. a few guys lst some pretty big-dollar, big-HP engines to them. i think the company made some changes, but i just want to throw that out there for you to consider. i wish you the best with this buildup. i love Rx-2s!
