he needs alot more than that.

seek the faq's at the top as you have a rather large plate to take on.
this has been covered before but isnt a topic that is beat to death, so i may let this one fly as long as it stays on track.

i dont know if turbo edit is available still thats an obd0 ecm tuning option.
if not you will have to convert to obd1 and will need an obd1 dizzy and a few other things.

what are you looking for specifically?

if you are asking questions like this i think you should leave the tuning to a prefessional.

yea i see but thats whats getting me ive been reading the other post on the subjects but i understand a little of it and then they loose me.
ok im running the odb0 pr4, and what im kind of getting i can take a zif connector, put in the ecu download turboedit, get a chip burner, go to the site find a mapping close to my setup and just swap chips and changes settings until i get a good run also get a data logger to record my progress?

What are you tuning with?

www.PGMFI.org is a great resource for grassroots tuning know-how.

Also, I'm sure there's some decent stuff in the FI FAQ section.

he is obd0, cannot use neptune with that. unless he converts to obd1. turboedit is what you'll have to use. just buy a socketed ecu or send yours out. tell them your setup and have them put a basemap on it. then take it to a shop and get it tuned. if you dont know what your doing dont go doing it yourself. www.j-k-tuning.com

880cc injectors? thats an over kill haha. With a stock bottom you dont need anything bigger than 450cc injectors. With 450cc injectors and 8 psi you should be all set to put down up to 275whp which is all that stock bottom is going to handle anyway. As far as tuning get a basemapped ecu to get it running safely and drive it to a dyno. Let the pros do the tuning for you.

if you need a good basemap.... i can chip socket and basemap your ecu for you. let me know if you need any help. I just did the same build pretty much but i used a stock b20 and it runs and drives awesome.

yea man.. dont go crazy with stock parts if you wanna daily drive it. 250 whp is a good safe reliable number. im not saying stock blocks cant handle 300 or more.. but the only question is for how long? I dont know about you but i like to be able to rev 7500 in every gear without worries of pushing the limits of my factory turbo setup
