Default Upgraded fuel rail?

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie, and trying to safely mod my bugeye WRX to 300-330BHP.

I have a VF34 turbo, pink injectors, 3 port boost, sti intercooler (trying to get a sti scoop,undertray and walbro pump), full straight through 3" exhaust waiting to go on.

I've heard that upgrading the fuel rail at the same time helps the life of the engine with all the mods I have.

Is this true?

Recommend a kit and where I can get it from?


Cheers!

Your current fuel rails are up to job with yours Pink injectors,550cc injectors in most cases will be maxed around 360-400bhp and i don't think you will make with VF34 400bhp..If its possible fit in one go and drive off the boost or just with wastegate pressure to mapper asap

So, having an upgraded fuel rail will not help the lifeline of the engine? Or reap any benefits for the mods I have?

Sorry if this is clear, i'm still a newbe :-) and still trying to get my head round it all.

How to say,fuel rails and FPR will be good mod,if you are looking maxing your injectors or going above their specs.

I would say your pink injectors will be OK for your desired bhp and you will run them safely at your desired bhp(300-330bhp) and little bit more(350-360) without the maxing them.

Really for parallel fuel rails and FPR you are looking at nice £400 excluding work and braided lines and i don't think you need them,your OE FPR is good for your current spec,don't spend money on what you are don't need.
I would invest money for this rather to Brembo brakes(if you have WRX) and suspension setup(ARB,droplinks etc)
