should I really just be making a dual feed rail at 250-300whp?

There is no telling where I'm going to leave the boost set.

Dual feed is kind of funny because of where the FPR goes. I've been nagging tunertoys to make a high volume 99 style rail. Single ended would be fine with the extra volume.

I've got Keith's book if you want to borrow it.

Edit: Nevermind. Sounds like you have everything.

I think that would be a good move. Anyone who's after power is using this motor anyway.

For the pullies, if you have the earlier 1.6, you will need the alternator of the 94-97 because the belts are different. At least that's what I heard

Since you are running with the MS, you should also see about getting an M1, 1.8 alternator. The problem is, the 99+ one will be with the ECU controlling the voltage. M1 1.8's have it still on the alt.

Dave,

I highly suggest the fuel rail information in this thread get's added to POST#2 in the FAQ so future '99 owners have the details immediately accessible. I'll be one of them in a year or so.

Since he's got MS, why not just leave the 1.8 coils in place and run 'em as-is?

It would be a matter of wiring it up (different pigtails) and building a tacho driver. Might as well do the Toyo cops.

My fuel rail solution used the Yo-Yo man's Dual feed, fuel rail and a generic fuel pressure regulator off of ebay. it works great.

You'll need to use the 1.6 crank pulley then too. <G>

Hustler, 1.8 alternators are easy and cheap to come buy, it would save you some hassel if you used the 94-97. Try to find an automatic one if you can, more amps.

what bracket should I use then, and will I have to mod it? I do not have the 99 bracket. I assume that I can then use the 99 pullies.

I originally planned on using the 1.6 bracket from some write-up. I need to just go to my parents house and hope to remember what that big box of parts looks like...of course everything else is in a labeled bag.
