what hp #'s are the 550cc injectors good for??
what would the walbro 255 fuel pump stand up to??
would the 2 plus an apexi S-AFC combine to provide enough fuel withstand at least 300bwhp??
or would i be better off with this:
Aeromotive Universal EFI Fuel Pressure Regulator

1. close to 400 at the wheels.
2. around the 400hp level also.
3. Yes, more than enough
(add a Z32 mafs to the list)
4. no need

550CC injectors are good for 17-18psi of boost.

To get the ammount of power you can make off the injectors, here is the formula.
550cc / 10.5 (this give you pounds per hour.) = 52.38 lbs/hr
Multiply by the number of injectors.
52.38 x 4 = 209.52 total lbs/hr
divide by a constant (.6 for a rich, safe estimate.)
209.52 / .6 = 349.2 hp.
Mustang people have said that a high-pressure 255 L/hr pump will handle 500hp on their cars. I'd assume 400-500hp for our cars.
I don't think that you would be able to safely run 550cc injectors off a S-AFC. With only a +/- 50% adjustment, i think you'd run rich at the low rpms. Go with a JWT ecu. They will also program in the Z32 maf, or cobra maf.
You have a lot of research ahead of you before you turbo. Like, get Maximum Boost and learn. Most people's choice for fuel is not 550cc injectors and a big-ass pump, or just a FPR.

thanks guys,
jeff: thanks for the formula...and yes i have done a good bit of searching and learning..i do h ave the book and have read it and am doing it again...
the only reason i asked about the injectors was because a friend of mine in orange can get me 4 550 injectors and a walbro 255 pump for around $400 but from what you have tld me the 550's are way to much for what i need...i only want 250-300 hp, so i will go with the 370's(maybe the next step up 430 i think out of the sr) and either a s-afc(my current choice) or a jwt ecu, but i read that they cannot make (moddify) one for a 96!!
that is my plan for fuel unless i want to get really crazy!!
