So, I don't know if anyone remembers, but I sold my mkIII to a friend of mine a few years back. Well, I was checking up on it today and basicly here's how it goes:
He's got some beef-ed up CT26, I don't know what or how. Its not particularly nice, looks stock, but he had 3+ rebuilds blow seals under warranty, so the last one they said "no more, but you shouldn't have problems with this one." He's also go a Lexus AFM, Venom 550 injectors, and he was putting in a SAFCII as I type. It has all the other goodies from when I had it, hardpipes, BIC DP, 3" exhaust, filter, MHG, ARP's, HKS EVC, etc, but I had no fuel mods.
Heres the problem.
LexAFM, venom 550s, SAFCII, but NO FPR, and a stock pump!?
Funny thing is, I took it from him a while back and had it dynoed. At the time I thought it had a pump but no FPR, (actually had neither) but anyways at 15psi it ran something like 299hp/333tq but the catch is it was at points even lower than 9:1 AF. I wouldn't think those numbers or that rich of a run would not be possible without supporting fuel mods for the injectors...
So anyway, at what point is a FPR and pump required? Why is his setup not lean? And is a FPR basicaly just needed once you get the pump?
Any help would be appreciated before we start pusing buttons on the AFC =)
