zipupurmickey 7 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Good evening folks,I've been doing some research tonight but can't get a definitive answer, so no better place to ask but here.I'm currently fitting my Vortech V9 to my Bora (BDE) running 10psi and I was wondering what I would need to upgrade on the fuelling side of things, it's the one area I haven't covered yet as I was going to run 8psi (stage 2) up until recently.(1) Fuel pump? Can I run my stock on 10psi or do I need ie Walbro? I've heard they're noisy so would like something quite.(2) Fuel pressure regulator, do I need to get a 4+ fpr? Or can my standard one handle 40lbs/min?(3) injectors, I'm more than likely pushing my stock ones at 10psi but if I can get away with my oe ones for the time being I'm happy.

mattvr6 133 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Stock fuel pumps max out aat about 250bhp, just run an I line one or replace the intank one, injectors 330cc or more fuel ref will be ok Link to post Share on other sites
zipupurmickey 7 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks for the info Matt. That's strange I ran my stock pump at 280 for 3 years with no hassle, boosting 6psi. I've gone with an intank fuel pump (320lph) as I heard those inline pumps are noisy, also Vince recommend going with a 4+ bar fpr as it'll help my stock injectors cope with 10psi, so hopfully that will do the job.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm running a Vortech V1 @ 9 PSI and 320CC injectors and went for an in tank Walbro from Stealth, a bit of a faff to fit but seems good so far - only down side is that you get surging when almost running on empty. I was told that I probably would have been ok with my stock pump, but at 22 years old I wanted to cover the basics. Link to post Share on other sites
zipupurmickey 7 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 That's good info there Pete, thanks.I'm running a baby compared to yours, mines a V9 with a 2.4" pulleys and supporting mods etc. I was told by the .:R boys to go with 630cc Bosch injectors as they're a great fit for the 24valvers and if I want a little more power it's there so then that might still be an option if I can get my hands on a set without going to the states.I went for an adjustable fpr 3-5 bar from 034motorsport so that'll do me I hope.What kind of power are you putting down Pete?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 You will have some fun with a 2.4" pulley! Mine is a 2.75" and even with a duel idler pulley find I get belt slip - If I go for more boost in the future I.E lower boosting impeller and higher rated bearings, I will surely be going for a cogged pulley setup. My view was when fitting mine, get the basics covered, get it running and see what can be improved from there as I am probably pushing the limits at the moment without a spacer plate, meth and and an oil cooler Link to post Share on other sites
zipupurmickey 7 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yes true, mines smaller so the psi convert completely different with the pulley sizes. I have a idler bracket and pulley too so hopefully no belt slip, I'd be more than happy with 10psi tbh, that'll hopefully see me at 350ish.Basics are hopefully covered now once I get the fuelling sorted, I'm going with a 9:1 cr head spacer I didn't want to go any lower as it'll be quite sluggish low down in the revs. I think superchargerinovations do a cog kit for the V1? Not sure about Vito at e9p. 300 is plenty in a fwd anyway Link to post Share on other sites
