nope. but as i understand it, if you uprate your pump and pressure regulator you can get your injectors to run at say 110%, or maybe more, which, if you`re going for 350-400bhp in the future, will mean that you wont need bigger injectors before you get a re-map..........i think!!!! hope that makes sense

Thumbs up

i got the walbro pump and fse fuel pressure reg from mark @ lateral performance (e-mail m@rk-a.com).......cheapest i could find. If you get them fitted and set the fuel pressure at 3.2-3.5bar your injector duty thingamy will drop, mine did.

surely you would have to get the car remapped as the injector cycles are looked up off the map as the ecu is still expecting the same fuel pressure
