Your on a dreamboat. The highest i could get out of the stocker was 420rwhp with same injectors as you and same computer. Same as everyone else 400-440 seems to be the limit of a good stock healthy pump .

BUT what regulator were you running at the time.(after market or std)

Im running a HKS regulator but is running very low base fuel pressure 30psi.

Well that my be the difference as i run a std reg and i remember a thread some time ago which i think sydneykid show bench test of different fuel pump and the gtr std pump was right up there but if you increase the pressure it start to really loose the volume it could flow (if the pressure goes up the total fuel flow went down quiet a bit ) i believe this is why i still run quiet high duty cycle times on 700cc for the hp i make as the fuel pressure is std.

Sydneykid had a great chart of different fuel pumps.

Make sure you use equal gauge wire to the ground as well. Make it a positive trigger relay(I know it sounds trivial but I worked on a 520 rwhp WRX today running two 044 and the system run a negative trigger relay with a tiny ground cable and the entire fuel system including braided lines was active as it was doing the grounding-very scary as we saw sparks as we were putting the c16 in). The bosch 044 pump is rated at 30amps peak but usually they usually only run 12-17 amps from memory. So a 30 amp fuse should be sufficient.

pnblight is on the ball.

As pressure increases flow drops off. You will always get more HP out of a pump if you run larger injectors rather than run the smaller items and try to squeeze that little bit more out of them with an increase of fuel pressure.

Well i played with the fuel pressure on the dyno and it helped slightly but that was it. I have some standard regs i can try but i dont think its going to make a difference.

it was only a suggestion as mine has never failed me ,not that i have tried get as much as i could out of it ,i just never needed to upgrade yet but i'm sure down the road somewhere i will. Sydneykid even did some calculation from the bench test results he had and the flow rate from the std pump was there for the hp i'm running(the thread was back some months ago)

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
