You won't be doing any injector swapping without an aftermarket ECU.

I think the majority of people here will vote for Link

[Guest]

ok ive never had 1 i got a microtech put in my evo and loved it

but have heard good things about link

[Wiretap]

I will not vote for Link. I have been rather disappointed in their ability to properly emulate the functionality of factory ECUs.

Top feeders split rail set-up with one fuel reg.(cooler fuel)..Link G4 or better to retune with

Wut... you've lost me... cooler fuel because you're using topfeeds? I think you misunderstand what causes cylinder 3 leaning.

What are you building - A track monster or roadie that may one day see a track?

Because if roadie parallel setup 2 factory regs or one aftermarket, bump up injector size if going for power and be done with it enjoy it.

Tracker - same as above... I run a surge tank etc for safety but know many that don't.

A full fuel setup isn't cheap... Trust me. Specially when your likely need professional help

I didn't run a surge tank on my car and it went bang, I would highly reccomend having a surge tank set up if you hit the track. There again I was using factory fuel set up apart from a upgraded intank pump.

is exactly what i use dude... no issues, intank and factory rails

Nor did i when mine went bang. I never experienced fuel surge on the old setup, but went with one just for the safety and future proofing. However as said above know of cars not running them - successfully i might add - but it does have an upgraded internal pump.

you don't use a surge tank? i suffered terrible from surge isues under half a tank of fuel.

Maybe running 21 psi had something to do with it, i know for a fact the car had maxed the injectors I was using.

no surge tank.. by some freakish anomily i can get to 1/4 tank...? and i run upwards of 25psi. side feeds in factory rail and fsctory fuel lines to the tank.. irs VERY simple

Thats nuts my car was a nightmare at a 1/4 of a tank, always surged, used to die when coming out of corners onto a straight then pick up again. Do you have a pararel fuel line set up to stop cylinder 3 leaning out? what size injectors are you running?

I am not going to take the risk and think for my car i need the surge tank. If your having no issues though why change saves some money too.

yup i run a parallel setup with two factory regs. and sard 800's

ok it seems that may be the key, bigger injectors and i bet the parallel set up really makes a difference.
