I have a Walbro 255L fuel pump, RC engineering 440cc injectors, a safc, and an Alpine Turbo kit.

I am reading the fuel pump DIY and trying to figure out the order I should instal them since I do not have the time to instal all at one time.

I was thinking:

1. SAFC
2. Pump
3. Injectors
4. Turbo

Does that sound right?

Also, I am not using the fifth injector and unichip. I have the FPR from the Alpine kit. Would this be good to use instead of my stock FPR?

Sounds good. As for the FPR, as long as its a RRFPR and it works like it should, it should be fine. tongue.gif

Sounds good to me as well. Remember to tune your injectors down with the SAFC once you get them in or you will flood your car with gas.

Would it matter if 1 and 2 were switched?

Doubt. You might run a bit rich with that pump though.

Yeah that would be the same FPR I have for my Alpine kit. It is a RRFPR ,can't remember what the ratio is now.

I don't think that the stock pump can handle 200 + HP.

I am not running the fifth injector and have 440cc injectors. They will be straining the stock pump. better safe than sorry.

Just installed the SAFC. Looking at the manual right now
