Boost gods please help! I'm doing a custom turbo kit, with that said, i will instal rsx-s injectors and i need to know how much power can the stock fuel pump handle. What is it its max. I mean to what point is the fuel pump sufficient and in good working condition.

well, even with the RSX injectors you are still limited to relatively low boost. You need either even larger injectors with an upgraded pump (maybe S2000?), or some sort of rising rate system (return line)

Rep Power: 607 there is one member running 440's on stock pump with no return. Others are running Type S injectors or stock injectors on stock pump. But the real question is..........how long with that stock pump last under that stress. The answer...........nobody knows for sure.

I would upgrade anyway if you're doing custom. You can tune it once, and have a nice reliable setup. You dont NEED to if you are building up the block, low boost levels have been fine with the stock pump

Yes - if you plan on going higher RC's are the way to go.....But for a simple direct replacement RSX injectors are the best.

those injectors with the otherwise stock fuel system wont flow a lot of fuel. I have seen only about 3 psi of boost on the stock injectors before it went dangerously lean. Now if you have some sort of return system, then i would trust them.
