Default few ?'s : need high flow cat? fuel pressure? water lines on 14b?

ok i understand all the turbo stuff. i have put together my own kit and such. now just a few things puzzle me.

1.) do i need a high flow cat? or will a aftermarket one work that's not high flow.

2.) what is the usual fuel pressure on boosted cars?

3.) i have an aftermarket radiator that has 2 extra openings on it (plugged of course) i'm using a 14b turbo can i use these 2 extra openings on the radiator to run coolant lines to the turbo?

TIA

#3 NO


those two connections just go straight through the rad. there will be no water pump pushing the fluid through.

they're for automatic trans right?

so if i wanted to hook up coolant lines to the turbo i'd need to t into it by the head correct?

from what i've heard it's not nessecary to have the coolant lines. oil will be fine

You don't need to add coolant lines.

That depends on a couple of things.

If you're using an FMU it will rise exponentially as boost increases. If you're running real engine management with the larger injectors and stock FPR it will rise 1 psi per pound of boost, so WOT at 8psi will be in the 50psi range plus or minus.

Idle and off boost pressure will be at stock levels.

thanks...

so a regular cat will be fine? won't it slow down spool and restrict exhaust flow?
