Couple Newbie Questions...
I am new to cars really and have a few quesitons my first question is, I am wanting to run 15 psi after I get done and Is 1600cc injectors to much if so what ones should i use, and what is a good fuel pump, and finally will the stock turbo do 15 psi or should I get somehting else, and is the stock internals on the 13b ok for 15psi??? with around 120k miles on it.

yeah you should be able to run 15psi on stock internals. but you wont do it on a stock turbo. your best bet would be to go with some type of t4 turbine. im not real good with turbo sizes so someone else can help you with that. good 1600cc injectors are from RC engineering i think. and for a fuel pump try SR motorsports.

damn, you don't need 1600's to run 15 psi, but you do need a good fuel pump, and also a turbo upgrade, and intercooler upgrade. a hybrid is a good turbo, as well as the smaller trust intercooler you can get for around 900 bucks, Don't you have to have a haltech to run 1600's, those are just huge,
And 120k on the stock motor, i think its about time to be looking for a japspec, its days are numbered.
fc3s.org has them

I plan on using it as a daily driver but sometimes goto the track with friends. If 1600's are to big what would be a better size to get. Also i Looked into a Greddy T04 Anyone know if this is anygood?

unless you have about twenty five hundred for the turbo, a grand for the intercooler and five hundred plus for fuel demands, i would find a different route. thouse injectors are huge, and you would need alot to run them, a new fuel rail and i don't think that the apex safc will handle those injectors, but i dunno. you can use 720's as secondaries and tune them with the safc, or just run some form of aditional injectors.

Tbird,
Hey welcome to the forum. Hey mobile is just a hop & skip away from Atlanta
Some lower cost upgrades might be:
- Upgraded the OEM turbo's compressor wheel
- Go carborated instead of the more expensive electronic controls
Note you still want to build the car up right. That includes gagues to monitor your air/fuel ratio, exhaust temperature, coolant temp, and boost levels.
You MUST avoid running the engine lean as that will pop the APEX seals.
