walbro fuel pump
I've got an AVO kit on my 1.6 with microfueller but that is getting the flick in favour of a motec m4 and 460cc rx7 injectors, my question is do you have to get a larger fuel pump, I was about to buy a walbro 190hp.

Ive put a larger size walbro pump on mine although I cant remember the size.. I can check it out later if you like, i think i have it written down somewhere.
Before it was tuned though i saw another NA6 get tuned and it maxed out at 95KWs atw and then they upgraded the pump and got 115.. so I upgraded.. i dont know how much bigger the NA8 compared to the NA6 pump is??
I heard from another guy that had a NA8 pump running a 1.8l at 150rwkws ..anyone else vouch for stock pumps??

wow is that with stock internals!

Re:
Yeah,stock engine with over 170,000kms before the install and now with 10,000 more.There are no signs of oil use or blow-by and touch wood(slams desk) should do plenty more.Computer is SP Motorsports latest piggyback which although had some install and setup issues the Dynotuning was quick and easy from what I could see. Don't forget the 1.6 runs a little less compression than the 1.8s which helps a little. I would use turbo pistons rather than a compression plate to reduce compression but 1 turbo install doesn't make me an expert on that.

which ecu you running!

your on the right track about the pistons as this is what some one that does know told me to use.
