a mates got a vl turbo with microtech and wants to upgrade fuel system but the 363s are .5 ohm and wont run on em. what are u guys using in way of fuel injectors and rails. hes on a bit of a budget and didnt like the thought of a 1400 dollar set up. the cars got about 500hp

if the cars got about 500hp then 363's would be jack of an upgrade! im runnin gtr r33 injectors on a custom rail.... if he want upgrade... look out for the GTR R33 550 injectors... can get them for round 800

I will check mine out tomorrow I think they're like 2 ohm. I have a haltech E6k running my 363's and it handles it without a problem, so a microtech should be fine to. What injectors is he running on it atm.?

im not sure what injectors are on it now but i heard the microtech cant run injectors that low in ohms. what happened to the 2 more stock injectors tapped into the piping b4 the t/b. is that dodgey or do ppl still do it.

yeah its a bit dodgy putting in extra injctors imo, however it has been proven to work. MontstaS4 is right you can use resistors to limit current. If fitting 363's you will have to either get a custom fuel rail made up to suit O ring injectors or you can machine the 363's to accept a hose and use the old rail. cheers
