Default fuel question

how much power can a stock sc300's fuel system handle? Im getting a 67mm turbo soon and dont want to upgrade any of the fuel system stuff until I am ready to put down a BIG number. How far will the stock system go?

Depends on your ECU...with stock ECU, 320 whp is pushing the crap out of your injectors.
With something like AEM EMS, I'm sure 350 whp is possible but I wouldn't recommend it.

Either way, the fuel pump needs to be upgraded because you don't want to lose fuel pressure.

Cheers,

Feel free to suppliment your fuel system with methanol injection. I know you're over on SF too - so I'm sure you've read on it

I can help w/any questions - I've build quite an injection system for my Supra...I even have a spreadsheet that will help calc how much methanol you would use!
