I am down at GTT next week to have the gtt manifold fitted. I have a little extra money to spend so I have two options.

Option one: Larger fuel injectors with existing bluefin map or going back to standard map with larger fuel injectors. Try both out on the day to see which is best.

Option two:
Enlarged throttle body. Maybe changing back to standard map.

both options are to accompany the manifold.

Current mods:
2006 mcs
15% pulley with reduced belt
Minisport bluefin map to suit pulley mod
Alta CAI
GTT top mount intercooler
Milltek catback exhaust
Oil catch can
Upper and lower strut braces

I haven't got a clue to be honest, but enjoy it whichever you decide to go with

Richard Crofts · Aug 28th, 2007, 01:53 PM

Do the crank pulley

Personally I'd say bigger throttle body as long as curent injectors are 380 JCWs. If they are not then for a bit of safety I'd probably go for 380 or 400 (depends on what Roland recomends) injectors instead of the throttle body

I have standard mcs fuel injectors. ill probably end up going for both if i can afford it. Ill try and strike a deal with roland

What he said, Injectors.

Injectors.

Minipnut · Aug 29th, 2007, 04:29 AM

injectors unless you wanna be runing lean in the top end *gasp*

roland2003 · Aug 29th, 2007, 07:50 AM

...or maybe the GTT Adjustable FPR ?

.....We are fitting one tommorow . Need to make sure we can get more made in time first.

Best Regards Roland GTT

Roland, will the adjustable FPR help with stopping detonation, or would you still need to uprate the injectors to allow the fuel through

lucachiarelli · Aug 30th, 2007, 11:11 AM

should i get the 380cc injectors or larger ones?

Richard Crofts · Aug 30th, 2007, 11:27 AM

Both ant FR. The FPR means the fuel pressure does not drop so starving the injector...but the injector needs to be big enough to flow the right fuel (to provide good af mix) anyhow.

380cc is JCW and roland seems to think these do ok on most stuff. I think he likes to recomend 400s for the over 240 stuff if you can afford them as its a bit more piece at mind. I'm sure a quick discussion with roland will tell you all you need to know
