I've run a Greddy kit with a starion intercooler, 1.8L fuel injectors, a MSD ignition retard box and a older style BEGI AFPR at 10PSI+ before. It all comes down to making sure you have enough fuel without making the fuel pressure high enough to lock the injector's up. I ran the car this way for a 2 years or so then upgraded to a FM Link ECU (then I proceeded to blow the motor up by melting piston #4).
I also think you can run larger injectors as well and run the stock fuel pressure and the greddy FPR and the 6 degrees retarded igntion setting. This setup will work ok at the expense of idle and low RPM air/fuel ratios (it'll idle a little rich). This should allow you to run more boost and simply use a ball & spring boost controller and keep upping the boost until you reach 11.5:1 on a wideband at WOT. After you get the fuel mixture correct, then you can slowly start advancing the timing up to the point where you get a little pinging and then back it off a little. (or tune with 91 octane til you get some ping, then fill it up with 93 octane or xylene mix to get an overall higher octane level). -Chris Bill Cardell wrote: > Lots of NOS FM1 intercoolers and tons of leftover new intake parts > almost free.
