I have a 1987 vl sl n/a, and I am going to put on a t3t4 kit, 555cc injectors and 2 vl turbo fuel pumps, vl turbo ecu, and front mount (ebay). Also it will have a stainless steel 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust. By the time i will turbo the car it will have a reco head (turbo head), and metal head gasket with stud kit. plan to run 7-11 psi. any input will be great.

180ish

sweet, just a cruiser and daily cheers for that.

Are you going to chip(nistune) your ecu??

no way 180kw .. need a fuel reg also mate and try get a 3 inch if u can to gain bit more power.. on 7-11 psi if u get 180kw that b something.. let us know how u go dude

why does he need a fuel reg? the standard one is just fine. a t3/4 on that much boost doesnt sounds too unbelievable. 180rwkw is very achievable with factory turbo, frontmount and exhaust. Only thing is mate you won't be able to run standard turbo ecu with larger injectors. and instead of running 2 factory pumps run a single 044. More reliable and cost the same as 2 factory pumps and less lines etc

I allready have the fuel pumps and injectors installed when I bough the car.

get a bigger exhaust and wind it all up. should go 250rwkw if the turbo is any good

standard fuel regs are fine i make 300rwkw with standard fuel reg But not sure how the standard comp will go with the injecs

my plan is to do a straight swap with my spare head rebuild it and do a stud kit with a turbo gasket through it. not sure wether to high mount or keep it low mount, what do you reckon??

im running a na motor, microtech, vlt injectors, ebay monsta highmount with t3/t4, fmc forward facing plenum, malpasi reg, standard vl fuel pump. made 151rwkw @10psi today. my injectors are pretty much maxed out.

You wont run kinda injectors other then the standard ones on the standard ecu. Unless its got nistune/tune

The only times you "need" an adjustable aftermarket reg is if you want to squeeze more fuel out of your system by raising the base pressure, which isn't the best thing to do anyway, or if the inlets of the reg become restrictive in size. with 600cc injectors the standard reg is fine if he cant splash out for one. I know because i ran mine for years with standard reg, until i wanted to go braided lines/fittings. But your ecu will definately need to be changed to a tunable one
