If you want more flow without changing injectors just get an adjustable FPR and increase the fuel pressure.

Yes, if you add a fuel rail and a fuel pressure regulator you will get more flow through the stock injectors. A fuel rail alone will give smoother flow, but without a fuel pressure riser it won't flow anymore the before. Spend the extra 50-60$ to get a B&M fuel flow modifier. Also think about adding a fuel pump. I picked up a BBK fuel pump capable of supporting 500hp for around 200$ from optionsautosalon.com

it's not necessary unless you're pumping out maaaaaaaaad horsepower/torque. The OEM one flows more than enough fuel; the injectors and fuel pump are usually the culprit to a lack of fuel delivery. Only buy one if you want to win points for your engine bay. hell, why do you think many Hondacura guys with boost still use the stock fuel rail when pushing over 12 psi into their cylinders? because the stock one is perfectly fine. |

u are right, man!
i used to have both the aem fuel rail and aem fuel pressure regulator on. but then later i took the aem FPR off becuz the mechanic said it was not necessary for my car(turbo setup, the fuel unit that came with the kit and the bbk fuel pump were already good enough). so i m using the stock one now. |

So are you saying you're using the stock FPR? Or the stock fuel rail? |

So you have an upgraded fuel pump and a stock FPR set at the stock setting?
