Ok, I basically know all of what I need. The only thing I need to know is types. I know I need a higher output fuel pump. I have read about the RX-7 Pump being sufficient. What year pump will push the ammount of fuel I need? Or is it going to have to be aftermarket? Second, I remember reading something about mitata injectors being better than the stock K8 injectors. Will these flow the fuel I need? If so, what year, if not, what kind of injectors will I need? Thanks for your help everyone.

Look at some miata injectors, then look at your stock injectors, and tell me why they won't fit.

Why are you turbo charging the K8 when you are buying yourself a KL-ZE??? or is the group buy not on anymore? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

custom sidefeeds in da hizzy y0.

I'd only turbo if your motor has low milage...if it has high milage then say goodbye to your motor when there is even a slight hint of detonation.....I'd get it refreshed or save yourself the trouble and get a kl-03 or kl-ze

Well Dave, I've never seen the miata injectors. I didn't know that they wouldn't fit. Is there another injector you would suggest? Any names of companies?<P>Nic, The KLZE buy is still on as soon as I can get ahold of the guy. I am probably not going to be able to get one right now because of finances.<P>Steve, The reason I am doing a K8 turbo project is basically because you don't have to save $1000 to do it. I can buy the turbo now, buy the I/C later, buy the FMU later, and so on. I am terrible when it comes to saving money so I figure I will do a turbo this summer, and wait until I get my tax returns to get the KLZE.

RC engineering will make custom injectors. Secondaries off a RX-7 will work, but not without a Stand alone, since they are so damn big. The car wouldnt idle otherwise.

A stand alone is a full engine computer that takes over for your ECU....you throw that out and use the stand alone. It "stands alone" unlike "piggy back" computers that just play around with values to change stuff. A basic SDS fuel computer starts around 700 bucks. You could stick with base timeing for a non-turbo application with no problem.<P>You can use higher flow units, but just not the 850s from a FD. <P> [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Plus, I will have an FMU to take care of fuel pressure.

cool, then you need custom injectors. This is the whole "catch-22" of this project.

are you running 7 psi without an i/c...I would play safe with something like 5-6...7 max with fmu and injectors and intercooler...I would be just worried about detonation without a intercooler

In fact, a response to your earlier post said I was planning on getting the I/C. I am just going to piece it together rather than buy it all at once.<P>Hey Jesse, you should IM me next time you're online. It would be alot easier, and quicker for me, to converse over an IM rather than posting.

Search for miller and see what david C. wrote:<BR>"Actually, for the street, a K8 turbo would be more practical than a KL turbo. Less torque means less broken trannies and axles and an easier time getting traction. 1 bar on a K8 should get you ~250whp, which is going to be a very quick street car. Just drop in some KJS injectors which after 99 were rated @ 305cc/min IIRC. "<BR>Take Care
