fuel upgrade question

[supra_fast]

i am looking at a fuel upgrade at the supra store for an 88 supra turbo.

Aeromotive -6 FPR w/ stainless steel fuel lines and fittings to directly bolt-in, a Fuel Pressure Gauge, 550cc Injectors (6 each) w/ Injector Clips, and a 255lph Walbro Fuel pump. for $800

is it worth it? can i find it cheaper? what kind of hp upgrade am i looking at if i was to buy it. or so i need intake and exhust befor i can see a differance

thanks

no hp upgrade, what it does is ALLOW you to get higher but in itself it does not give you ANY HP gain.

whats those items worth, though, if i hadn't already had the fuel pump, and that is a good deal i thought about it.. but all i really need right now are injectors, probaly gona shoot for a little bigger. incase i decide to switch to e85

no sorry e85 don't work that way

there are a couple of thing i did not mention with e85 that you should know and these are SAFETY concerns.

The fuelpumps MUST be swapped, walbro will NOT work. It has to be a sealed Delco unit. Reason is under gasoline the fuel tank is waaaaay to rich to get ignited. Under E-85 that changes drastically. It is almost at a perfect lambbda =1 to ignite in there and as such, if the fuel pump is not sealed can increase the likely hood of igniting the vapor (like in the motor) and that is one big ass explosion.

as for prices,

just look up the parts and see how much they run.

u dont think i should get a walbro pump. everyone says i should or do u mean just with the e85?

for e85 forget the walbro

for gasoline/petrol walbro is fine.

And yes, you can find prices for cheaper elsewhere.
