new turbo setup, questions and replies very much wanted.
Ok i decided to go turbo,i have had 3 cars soo far (98 Eclipse n/t and x2 94 accords)The 94 accord i have now is vtec f22.I found a guy on the net that has a vtec head and a 92 accord.So i bought the kit from him direct bolt on.The things i am going to put on it are, and i would really like everyones input on this soo i know what to get.
IHI 14lb turbo
vtec manifold
HKS SSQV BOV
Autometer boost guage
dual guagepod
V-AFC
Air/Fuel Ratio guage
AEM FR
AEMFPR
DSM 450 with new seals
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Side mount IC
2.5 DP
3 inch catback
ACT 2100 clutch
front mount
all vaccum lines and oil lines
Battery relocator kit
I know i prolly forgot a couple things but that is pretty much my setup.I was told for tunning of 8psi that to set the Fuel pressure regulator high and then lower it to tune it to run right.I have a guy that i bought the turbo from that has all his settings for this turbo setup and the VAFC i was gonna use.I don't think it wil be that hard to really tune this turbo setup.i will be running high octane gas like 89 or 92.I am wondering what other things besides the fuel should i tune,car has 167000 miles onit.I will later in time upgrade to a bigger turbo but i don't know what tunning is really needed for 8psi.I would be installing everyhting electronic and engine side my self.I will have a muffler shop make me a flange for the DP and the full exhaust setup.No motor problems at all for those miles.And i was also wondering would an FMU be needed if i went with a fuel pressure regulator? and wat brand should i go with.I really appriciate everyones input and if you want to call me stupidfor doing this setup my self then i will accept that, i think i have enough skils to do a bold on and stuff like that,tunning im not quite sure but i can handle it if i were told what to tune.I thnka everyone for their input on this thread.
