this is my first turbo set up im putting together and i just have a couple questions. im building a kit and i already have the manifold, t25 turbo, bov, intercooler, piping, and 370cc injectors.

what else do i need? i know i need a tapped oil pan, oil feed and return lines, colder spark plugs. what else do i need? fuel management unit?

do i need a fuel pressure regulator or will my injectors do the same thing?

 

what chassis and what engine?? You may have to get an OBD1 ECU and conversion harness if you're not OBD1...Is the turbo internally gated??

 

all the info about my car is in my sig.. yeah the turbo 7psi internal wastegated

so what else do i need? i know i need a tapped oil pan, oil feed and return lines, colder spark plugs. what else do i need? fuel management unit?

do i need a fuel pressure regulator or will my injectors do the same thing?

 

Yeah, you need a socketed ECU that can be tuned, a FMU and FPR will not be required. You also need a downpipe, couplers and t clamps, walbro fuel pump, and some other things check the FAQs. It helps out alot.

 

so i can get a chipped ecu and forget about the FMU and FPR? oh yeah i already have the tclamps and silicone couplers and downpipe

what kind of chipped ecu? where to get it? phearable.net? hondata?

 

whats the difference between a walbro 255lph fuel pump and a walbro 255lph HP fuel pump?

what would be better to get

 

get the best ems you can as tuning is the main key in any turbo application, if money isnt a issue get the best

 

where can i get a chipped ecu.. will a ecu from phearable.net work perfectly fine?

 

which spark plugs??

ngk BKR7E or ngk BKR7ES-11

The choice is yours, i will be sending Phearable my ECU to have it chipped with a Crome basemap. I'm not one to change things alot so after i have it tuned i'm letting it be. Thats why i'm going with the cheaper crome option. But the choice is yours, there are many threads comparing hondata to crome to uberdata etc, so i suggest you search for those and read up as i have been doing.

 

You can get one from phearable.net its up to you and what you want to tune with.

 

well im not sure what i want to choose to tune it.. i was thinkin about gettin a ecu from phearable and taking it to T1 to tune it

 

i got my ECU from http://www.j-k-tuning.com and no complaints here.....check the FAQ and you'll have a lot better idea of what you need

 

so after i get a chipped ecu from phearable, kenji or jktuning. it needs to be tuned with hondata, crome, uberdata, or neptune?

will it run good without getting a tune by either one of those?

You get a BASEMAP from one of those placees. That basemap is a temporary tune to get you to a tuner, you shouldn't boost on a basemap. A basemap is just an estimated tune based on the specifications of your engine. Get to a tuner as soon as you can. That is the proper way.

EDIT: I learned the hard way, do it right

Boosting on a modified basemap = Cheap
3 Stretched Rods
3 Bent valves
= not cheap.

300hp is boring anyway,jk
