Default What are the benefits of a 5 Bar FPR?

Is it only necessary for stage 3/ KO4s or will chipped KO3 benefit too?

TIA

Default the benefits would be the situation in which you need a 5 bar FPR

its not a part you just put in because it has a bigger number than the stock FPR and that means more HP.

So I would only need it when my load is too high and I need more fuel than the stock injectors can provide?

I noticed several people have upgraded their stock injectors and I am trying to understand the dealio.

Default two ways to get more fuel - bigger injectors and more pressure

pick one, and make sure you have tuning to go with it.

if you don't, you'll just run super rich all the time. not really productive.

Default its not an "upgrade"

its a "i need this part to make this work" issue.

Default wait, replace injectors or fpr?

might want to make sure you know exactly what you are trying to do before randomly swapping parts out simply because they have bigger numbers.

Default No benefit for chipped K03 car, as K03s can't outflow the stock fuel system. A nice tool for Stg 3-

if you have K04s with stock injectors, the 5 bar adds some safety cushion to prevent running lean (though you'll still need to limit boost).

Default I get the point NY Net! Apparantly not all of us are as well versed as U.

I didn't say I was going to start swapping parts because they have bigger numbers I was tring to get some clarity.

Thanks and go take a few happy pills.
