B16 turbo questions

[k_dawg]

I am putting a T3 on my B16 and have a couple of questions. I was wondering what computer would be a good fit for this turbo. I was also wondering if a fuel pressure regulator, injectors, or fuel pump would be a good choice. Please let me know as soon as possible, because I want to get this done. I also want as many replies as I can.

Depens on how much your going to boost. If you are boosting more lbs than lets say 6 (estimate) yes your injectors have to be upgradded along with the fuel pump. Computers as in chip ecu? Or VAFC controler...

You going to use this car as a race car?

T3 is a small turbo and if you plan on being on the highway you will most likely spool 2-3 lbs at 80 MPH. 30 minutes of that and bye bye B16

What the hell are you talking about? His turbo isn't going to make any boost if his motor isn't under load, and low throttle in 5th gear is not going to load the motor nearly enough to make boost.

If I am planning on running 7 PSI what size injectors should I get and also fuel pump. Should I also get a fuel pressure regulator or what? I don't see how I would blow up the engine going down the highway. But anyway anymore suggestionsa would be great. I don't want this thing to destroy my engine. Thanks a lot

And to add to what Boosted331 said, saying T3 in and of itself is irrelevent, the turbine, and the compressor side BOTH need to be taken into consideration when sizing a turbo.
