Ok - so as my stockpile of parts grows and grows i've come to the fuelling issue...
Ideally looking for a figure of around 350bhp i can't decide whether to go for 803 Greens and accept a slightly lower figure (don't want to max out the duty cycle) - or whether to go to Light Blues and risk a lumpier idle.
That's all assuming i use Bosch injectors - i've heard that Siemens etc have better spray patterns etc. - so any recommendations would be appreciated.
Also - fitting into a Series 2 shell - i think i'm right in saying that the fuel tank thats still on there is not suitable as it doesn't have a fuel return with it being from an MFi car...
So... Could i fit an XR3i fuel tank (i.e set up for fuel injection return) - or would it be easier to junk it and just fit an alloy cell in the back?
Which brings the next question - what fuel pump?
Also - what fuel bits do i need in the form of swirl pots etc?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

Wont the injector size depend on what turbo and what boost you need to porduce to make the power you want ?

Gareth - i've got OMEX 500 that's mapped for a similar engine on 803s so would almost plug and play...
But i've got a mate offering me Motec quite cheap - and its a much better ECU - so i'm able to go with whatever really

I've got a set of Focus RS ones that i've been told will flow 400... Might just hang onto those thinking about it...
Now - the tank question?
