STD injectors are only good for 140 RW KW I know.
the STD clutch will slip under high boost at about 4000 RPM
and the Fuel pump is a MUST. Although my STD pump worked fine
before the turbo convertion the extra fuel load put on it made it fail
After fitting a NEW pump I had to retune because of the better flow.
So save yourself the hassel and put in a new pump before you tune

Clutch will last for a little while depending on how you treat it

Injectors will definatly need to be upgraded
(jump on fordlaser.com forums to find lager ones from turbo tx3's etc)

fuel pump might or might not be ok depending on condition etc

when the car is tuned they will tell you wether it is keeping up or not

Hey Jiffy what model rx7 fuel pump are you talking about>???

series 4/5 like the injectors or the s6/8???

Im looking at buying the AVO non electrics kit at the moment & was thinking about going with an emanage for my nb8a, if i was to put the larger injectors in, how would the car run as the emanage is a piggyback not a stand alone???

I the idea of the piggyback computer is to control the injectors, so putting in larger injectors would simply mean a retune

yes thats all good & well when your driving, BUT under idle the larger injectors will stay opened the same length as standard injectors therefor adding more fuel as they are larger which will give poor idle & so forth, from what i understand & please correct me if im wrong but the emanage ultimate is the only piggyback that I know of that does change injector pulse length to correct this, but even still im only going my what i have read regarding the emu
