Default Turbo fuel suggestions...kinda URGENT!

I got my Greddy 15g turbo setup today in the mail. I got everything I needed except for the manual and brass 't' fitting for the oil line(its coming tomorrow). Anyway, I was talking to the selling about my fuel stuff.

I have stock injectors and fuel pump. I'll be using a Apexi V-Afc.

Question is: *Do I need a FMU?*

I don't have one, but he'll sell me his for $50.

Do I need it?
Can I run the car without it?
Is there anything else I could buy local instead of a FMU?

Thanks!
Spike

BTW, does anybody have a DIY for tapping the oil pan. Any suggestions or precedures for it? I need to do that tomorrow!

Just drill the oil pan smaller than you need and work it bigger accordingly.

If you have the VAFC, then you can 450's and a resistor box

JKan2001:
Can I run the car(as in daily drive..or if need be, drive about 15 min back to my house from the shop) without the 450's and a resistor box?

Where and what kind of resistor box do I need?

So, I should probably save for a Walbro 225lph pump...anything esle I'll need soon?

I am going to install the kit this weekend, so I need to know what I need as soon as possible.

Thanks!

You can run it with the stock injectors and a fmu, if you drive it with stock injectors and no fmu DO NOT BOOST AT ALL. It'll be hard to drive around and not hit boost though, be careful.

Get some inline resistors from radio shack they're cheap and, they look like square pieces of chalk with a wire on each end and wire them in. Look on honda-tech they have some diagrams for that.

Good luck

JKan2001: So, if I get the inline resistors at RadioShack, and some 450cc's tomorrow,I should be fine to run on boost?

Or would it be better to get a FMU, bigger injectors, and be done?

Just get some 450cc DSM injectors and some resistors. Thats all your going to need. Get that and you'll be fine. Forget the FMU, etc. its overrated. AFC with injectors & resistors plenty good for what you are doing.

Will 450 RC injectors work? Or do they have to be DSM's?

And where should I look for a resistor pak?
