FTW-k04R vs ZFR In need of turbo swap!!

I've got the controller set higher than my max boost so it's not going full 20gph. I had 4 2gph nozzles and they weren't enough and I didn't want to have to keep buying nozzles at $20 a pop if I ever went bigger turbo and actually needed the extra fuel. The car does great on it. Part of it could be from the shitastic quality gas that we have where I live. I know it's supposed to be regulated but 93 where I live is not good fuel at all. Anywhere else I go is fine

I considered it but read that people had had problems with puddling around the throttle body when doing it that way. Originally I was going to just do a tb spacer or nozzles in the pipe but after reading some other people's past experiences is what made me do it the way I did. The only time there's a problem is if I set the meth too low, it bogs way down and goes too rich but it's doing good where it's at now

I just read a lot of posts saying that the tb spacer byt made caused a lot of puddling issues so I didn't want to risk it. Plus I wanted to ensure that I had equal distribution to all cylinders. Another setup I saw after I did mind was somebody put 2 bungs (1 on each side of the purge solenoid) in the manifold. My one question has always been, with boost pushing back against the meth nozzles, how much do they actually flow compared to their rating?

I've got an AIS kit which I think is set at 250 psi. As far as even flow, I made sure all lines are the same length and it appeared to me to flow evenly when the manifold was off the car. I check my nozzles also to make sure I never have a clogged one and so far so good.

I'd ask the what the pump is set at from the factory because I think it's a "250psi" pump but set at "X" from factory. I was just wondering if the last nozzle on the manifold ould see less pressure so less flow. Also the closer to the cylinder the nozzle is the higher pressure you want to make sure you have proper atomization

Now that you said that I think it is set at 200 at the factory and my nozzles are set up in a t system instead of a rail with them all being on the same line. I have a "tee" the goes to 2 check valves, then those check valves each go to a "tee" which splits into 2 nozzles.

I'm thinking of switching to a manifold injection at 1-2gph nozzles then the rest from my coldpipe nozzle.

Ya OK so any drop you have should be even between all the nozzles. Maybe you'll get the same flow but better efficiency with a smaller nozzle size more pressure and max out the controller. I'm tuning all this weekend getting ready for my dyno so i'm gonna play with nozzle sizes and pressure

If nozzles weren't so expensive, I'd definitely experiment to see what the best way to go was. But at $20 a piece, I'll just keep them set how they are unless there's a problem. I don't foresee any but you never know. I am interested to see how well the meth helps at keeping the valves clean

I'm pretty sure its about everybody waiting for me to fix my car and then get it dynoed so they can decide if they want to buy the turbo or not. Btw my intercooler is on it's way to my house now it's not in my hands yet but should be getting installed tonight.

First I love Tacos second I am tuning all weekend and throwing a LSJ back in so hopefully sometime next week or weekend i don't know how late the shop is open and I'm not taking time off to do it so I'll call after i'm ready should know Sat or Mon at the latest
