Question Couple of Greddy TT Kit questions?

Guys,

After reading a few posts concerning the Walbro fuel pump. I have a few questions.

If I am running just 6 psi, would I need to upgrade my fuel pump? What are the benefits of upgrading your fuel pump? Would I need a pressure regulator? How high of a boost level can I go before requiring a fuel pump upgrade?

Now...cooling. Will I need to add an aftermarket radiator and oil cooler kit to my 350Z after I install the Greddy TT? I plan to run Redline synthetics. Is there anything I can do besides those two cooling upgrades to contain the extra heat generated. Remember...I am in the deep South (Georgia). (With Southern Draw) It gets plumb hot down here!

And lastly, I noticed that the oil pan that Greddy TT comes with has no baffles in it. That is bad if I do a track day here and there right? No baffles means that sustained G's will oil starve the car. Is there a way to prevent this or is my worries just unwaranted? I have checked that if I add an ARC extra capacity oil pan to the car, it will have to be custom tapped to feed the turbo's along with return lines...that leaves a chance for future leaks?

Please let me know.

If you plan on running just the pre set boost that the Greddy kit is programmed at, none of the things you mention are needed.

More depth of Oil is better... More oil in total system..

The oil pan area is just a fraction of the actual oil in the sump area. If you look, the oil pan actually extends well into the block...so I wouldnt worry about oil starvation.

Heat is another issue, and it's debatable. If you are serious about doing many track days, I'd get the PE oil pan or an oil cooler, and possibly, an upgraded radiator...some like the ARC unit.
