higher gph fuel pump

Would it be a waste of time upgrading the fuel pump with out upgrading the regulator?
I want to run a little safer with my nitrous and they say I should use a bigger fuel pump.

Are you using a after market regulator with that pump?

it's a waste to upgrade your fuel pump without upgrading your injectors. You need to search before opening new topics bro, this is like your 4th new thread in a week

Am I not allowed to open new threads ?

I've searched everything that I've posted but are looking for more current responses.
Things that were working yesterday,does not mean their is not going to be a newer solution tomorrow.
Also my threads are not just about BS.
They are ways that I'm moving with my car so I need to know things.
Yah digg,


What Black ack, say something!, say something!
J/K man.
I'll fall a little more into the shadows.

Not lookin for a fight, and I'm not sayin you can't start new threads, however you have been on a tear opening new thread after new thread. We prefer if you search first and bump threads that are relevent rather than starting all new threads, or try to keep questions in some of your other threads, no problem starting new threads as long as it's within reason.

Our fuel pump produces what 160 lph.
So would a walbro 190 lph would be a good replacement ?

Y not just get the 255lph? That's what me and a few ppl on here are using. No problems. Look into replacing ur injectors with some s2k ones. Ours are 270, s2k are 370 or 390. Then get a fuel pump

Where is the cheapest place to get bigger drop in injectors.
The one's I've seen is in the 500+ range ?
Will I be able to run them and a high volume fuel pump with out a upgraded regulator and a tune ?
Are s2000 one's the only factory drop in replacement that would be upgraded ?
What about newer tl or rl one's ?
PM'ing

S2k are a drop in. Go oem, can't be that expensive. Rdx injectors are like $35 a piece and some modification is required. No other make injectors fit

what happens if you start running a wet shot though, it be like adding an additional injector, so you would need a pump before actually needing injectors...

I have a single fogger wet kit sitting in my garage. I was thinking about throwing it on my car for fun but I want to get a walbro 255lph pump and one step colder plugs to be on the safe side. So its safe to run a 100 shot correct?

Would a 125 shot be pushing it? I can buy a wideband to see what the A/F ratio looks like while I'm spraying it for a peace of mind. The good thing is there's a sunoco gas station less than 5 minutes from my house that sells 100 octane race gas at the pump I can always throw a few gallons in for fun to be extra safe haha.

im spraying a 125 dry and have no problem, also no af gauge. so with a wet shot ull be fine with a 125.

a guy on the tl side was spraying a 150 shot wet and that car was crazy. but he had a misfire towards the end of the rpm range and bunt up the exhaust valves. i havent seen him on here in over a year.

you probably eventually can go more then that if you want, but the biggest thing to do is taking it in small steps (don't just go to the 125 and expect everything to be correct; start out with a 50 shot or so first)
