So for the sake of sanity i have yielded and turned to the good people of the forum worlds.
My query is as such: I have a 03 Lux with a 1KZ-TE motor and have recently decided to splurge and do some mods. My initial plan was to replace the turbo for a stage 1 highflow and do the injectors at the same time, with the intention to install a unichip later. However it seems the money ive put aside is going to go further than i originally thought and a stage 2 turbo is now within reasonable spending. And it got me wondering whether the injection pump will keep up.
It was my understanding the 1kz-te need to be converted a boost compensated 12mm mech pump are something similar to make any decent power and that the electronic pumps cant flow enough fuel. I like the idea of a unichip and the options it grants but more power is also more better.
I guess the simplified question is does the electronic pump on the TE need to go if im aiming for say 120-150 rwhp, and/or can a mechanical pump still be electronically controlled by a unichip? The other question is do the stock 1kz injectors need modifying to produce better power also.
