    try doing a search on here first: you'll come up with the model...

    Bren at Apex can sort you out with hoses (or any of the other traders)

    Also what sort of tests do they come out highly in?? flow, filtration or both?

    £1000-£4000, depends exactly what you get, £100 FMIC, £100 injectors, £150 AFM, £100 s/h chip, £250 S/H GTiR turbo, £200 S/H full exhaust exhaust £100 gauges. Thats before you think about handling, brakeing, wheels + cosmetics.

    I think 350 bhp with 440's may be pushing them, you would be better off with 550's, once an injector runs above 85% duty cycle IIRC, it becomes unreliable in it's dosing or the cylinder.

    You can get used 550 injectors from RX7's, can't remember which model though, speak to steve sadler he knows which model

    Car is now finished to spec above (minus a dump valve and with the addition of a Jez custom map) and I'm now pulling 1.5 bar. Dunno power/torque but should be north of 300

    the theory is that my adjustable fuel pressure regulator allows me to run 440's at higher throughput

    not been on a RR though so dont know what my BHP is now

    The trouble with increasing the fuel pressure is that it delays the opening time of the injector and also makes the injector work harder, increasing how hot it gets making it more unreliaible in it's dosage.

    there's always more than one way to skin a cat...

    I'll have to see what the BHP and longevitiy of my setup is

    But in the meantime, it's
