might keep my car so what upgrades next, How long does a gallon of meth last? Options

[mk7celica]

I have my car for sale and did not have much intrest. So I might keep it. If so I have some money saved to mod my car. I had a ct20b installed not to long ago. Not sure If I should get a bigger turbo and aem fic? Or keep the ct20b and get a aem fic with 3 bar map fuel rail and bigger injectors? I want 325 to the wheels and I have added everything I could to my 2nd gen and I am at the fuel systems limits. Suspension is done so I am good there. Any ideas

So I read some of this stuff and I have some questions,
What was your reasoning for the walbro fuel pump without any other fuel mods (like injectors)?
How do you know your at the fuel systems limit without having an afr gauge? If it is just because you are getting a lean code that isn't a really good way to tell cause that could be caused by a few other things as well.

Also, I did see mention of using the AEM FIC and it seems you may have ruled that out already but I just wanted to add my opinion about it. I do have the FIC and it is good but its just basically a very good SAFC, only really has basic control of fuel and a few other useful things. If you are willing to spend like a grand on a piggyback or standalone system and you are going to more fuel mods along with the bigger turbo I'd suggest something better than the FIC.

And about the arguments going on here, Manny may come off like a big mean jerk sometimes but you have to understand what he is getting at. When there are inconsistencies in some of the information posted it seems very shady, there's no need to lie about anything, everyone is just here for good information. Lies just lead to bad info on the forums which is useless and deceiving to everyone.
I'm not saying you are a liar or not but I see inconsistencies also, like saying here that you didn't say anything condescending toward the 6gc community in general when you did say "Stay off my thread if you are a member on 6gc" along with a few other comments about the 6gc community in general. That is something I would take offense to, as well as you telling Manny to say off any other forums you are on because that's not right either.

Firts off I was very annoyed and it seemed like manny was doing to me by calling me a liar and other things. . Also it seems like people take manny's side thus thats why I said if your are a 6gc member dont post, Because I new they would be backing manny as usual and I would not get much posts about the thread topic. I have meet many good people on this site, but sometimes people clah and I guess thats the case with me and manny.


Now back to the thread, The walbro pump was installed because the shop said it was a good idea. Peopl say the gen 2 fuel limits are around 17lbs. Now I can hit 17lbs and I dont have a fcd hooked up. I hit fuel cut with a cel on at 18lbs thats why I have it at the highest 17lbs. But dont run there no more since I havee issues when I do. What I dont understand is I can go that high up in boost and not have a fcd. I am way below sea level maybe thats it.


Ok my thoughts for the upgrade for the time being. Get ats fuel rail and 550 injectors. and a apexi power fc for a mr2 have it repinned an raise the boost to 20lbs. Keep that setup for a while then save up more get the bigger turbo and cams to reach my 350+ hp power goals,
