I have the 110a alternator so I should be fine. At most 4 55w and 2 400w bulbs will be on at once. The small lights will draw 4a each for 16a total and the 400w bulbs will draw 30a each approx makin for a total draw of 76a total draw plus the engine

what about the amps that your running lights and stock headlights draw? let alone if you turn on your heater and defroster at the same time.
still might not hurt to have your alternator " rebuilt" to put out more amps. just a suggestion. i know my system draws ALOT. altho its still stock alternator. doubt its the 110.

Dont let your friend drive your car after flow matching injectors. Hell find a way to blow the diverter tube off creating problems

But on the bright side, car definately feels more powerful. I upped all the injectors just slightly. 2 had perfect spray patterns. The others are ok but could be better

What was your average flow in mL per injector? I did 30 seconds at WOT and got 105 mL per injector. There are little caps by each injector on FD with adjusted underneath. I had a website bookmarked for it, maybe toxcheap's or yodasfro I don't recall.

pretty much what I did only with beer bottles....
Didnt do a scientific measurement...just eyed them. I plan to go VEMS eventually so wasnt TOO concerned with perfection at the moment

so.... even brand new injectors could use this correct?
Re: Taco's 4KTQ 20vt Swap: Project Red Baron - RALLY BASKET!

Correct. Its very easy to do. Stick all 5 in bottles. Turn fuel pump on, lift plate to max height and hold for 20-30 seconds. Measure them against eachother. Turn the set screw clockwise on the injector adjustment to increase flow and vice versa.
PS...USE EXACT SAME CONTAINER PER INJECTOR!!! We thought the identical beer bottles but different labels were exactly the same.....we were WRONG!!!!!! The 2 different ones showed higher levels. Good thing we had plenty more beer bottles on hand....made the job more enjoyable too :-)

Theyre underneath the allen bolt cover where the injector lines go into the dizzy. 1 for each injector

Just a cautionary note, I have heard you don't want to go more than 1 full turn because you can permanently deform the stainless diaphragm inside the fuel distributor.

I don't know if everyone has seen this since the site is extinct but I think some of you will find it pretty cool and informative and hopefully the_natrix wont mind the publicity..
