Re: my turbo TSX project
This doesn't sound right at all.....
First, there is no way any tuner in the right mind would run the injectors at 100% duty cycle. That is asking for a blown engine. The most I've ran was 90% duty cycle and that was really pushing it. Typically, 80% is the reliable limit.
Second, your dyno graph is showing 356hp. You can make 356hp on 550cc injectors and that wouldn't even max them out. And you maxed out 1000cc?

Re: my turbo TSX project
I'm going to be doing a K swap for my K20Z1 for the K24 and there is a company in N. Carolina that does custom builds for anything you want in a K24. They are very knowledgeable and honest about what you need and what you don't, according to you specific application. They sell an ECU specifically set up for the 24, turbo/no turbo, ust let 'em know what you currently have and what you're planning on doing and ust run from there bro. Hope they can help.-J

Re: my turbo TSX project
just got some of my fuel return system done. with this return system i should be making some more HP.
drilled a hole for the return fitting
i drilled a hole right through the "***" that is directly above the fuel pump and attached the black factory tube to the feed fitting and the *** as my fuel feed.
then the AN fitting with the blue fuel hose was connected to the bottom of the fuel
where the original feed was connected to.
epoxy is what i used to seal the AN fitting.
hooked up the new deatchwerks compact 265 pump and installed into tank. next will be the hook up to the fuel rail.
