ID1000's or RC750's

Goal is for 275whp or so, just enough to have fun with

advice is always welcome

 

advice #1 - dont' get RCs, they suck

advice #2 - isn't the sc34 pretty outdated? unless i'm wrong, that's jouranl/non-billet, right? i'd recommend spending a little extra and getting a newer billet or bb turbo

 

setup looks similar to the stock gsr block i has man i made 350 just on the gate lol easily

what fuel yu planning on using

 

oh im on rc's also 1000's to be exact dont know what boostedbluf is smoking, but there awsome

i would probly get the id's though over them if i had to do it again

 

just going going to get a walbro 255 fuel pump, it should be sufficient enough, dont think ill need a adjustable fpr. ID's are definetely better but trying to work on a budget so somethings i dont know about just yet

 

i meant what fuel pump/e85/c/q?????

man i made 500 on a stock block with rc 1000's

and 650 on a built one on them also with no issues what so ever

 

i've had rcs. they idle like **** and have very poor daily driving performance compared to OEM and bosch injectors. they're so bad that numerous tuners in my area won't even tune them anymore.

 

well that sux because alo of people do well with them

sorry about your luck, but like i said they are pretty dam awsome to me

people freaked when i put down over 600 on e85 with them it was almost unheard of at that time. sure c/q had done it but e85 very rare lol.

not sure where your from but maybe its the tuners not the injectors lol

 

Ive heard the ID's are ****ing amazing and they even pick up good whp over an RC just from swapping them. going with pump 93 octane. Its just my summer daily, gonna get a pos beater for winter or something. Just fed up with mustangs, subarus and so forth so figure this would help. Plus i need to beat a friends talon this year. I know 300 is limit on stock block atleast for longevity. so 275 i figure should be enough.

Yes the sc34 is a little outdated but i cant be buyin billet wheel or ballbearing **** unless i really find deals on these things

 

Im from chicago myself so theres a slew of tuners out here, pretty much will tune on anything

 

nah man 300 aint it

like i said i ran a stock block dailey for a year

over 50 hits at the track and its still in great shape i pulled it to run my built block, and the built one didnt last lol.

 

thats kool

 

haha go figure, probably with built i think is someones building it and sometimes **** lets go because your modifying all types of ****. But hey some built blocks last a long time. 275 i think will be enouhg seein as i make 180whp now and it aint ****.

Ive done some weight reduction also, took alot of the bs out i do not need ill post pics up when i get time

 

what ems are you planning on

 

currently on ectune, But i am thinking neptune or hondata. My gf has neptune on this laptop i mite be able to run. gotta love gfs ha

 

hondata man cant go wrong with it

 

that is very true, seems to have good reviews always. id like to get a billet wheel but see how budget goes. Im sellin some NEW snapon equipment im not using to try and fund the parts

 

my personal tuner is miller from NRG tech, aka one of the best shop owners/tuners in the country. he wouldn't touch my car until i swapped out for IDs

 

my only thought is if that .6 bar spring and that turbo is going to get you to 275-300whp. i remember seeing it happen on a jdm itr but that motor has better cams and another point of compression

 

so its more his prefferance than yours that made you buy them thats nice.

Miller is one of the pioneers of the sport and all, but it should be your preferance to run what you can afford and not what he says he will tune or not.

just my .2 cents

now with that being said i wish i was closed because ide go to him for tuning also lol

 

for your power goals your setup is fine. you dont need anything fancy especially if youre trying to save money.

The turbo isnt necessarily "outdated". theres just a lot of stuff coming out right now that performs well. however all this fancy stuff costs a pretty penny.

I think people are forgetting that these turbos and your run of the mill garret "57" trim, still get the job done and dont hurt the bank. LOL @ those who buy a bb billet wheel precision and then have no money for any other quality parts like a wideband, or decent set of gauges/bov/wg/injectors etc.

The only thing I can see here is why run the blox A cams? Stock gsr cams will be more than fine. I dont know if you have to upgrade your head in order to run those cams, but save yourself some money and run stock.

As far as injectors go, RC isnt a bad company. In fact, they were probably the best company for injectors out there before bosch style ones came out. in this case, I recommend the bosch style injectors. Great bang for the buck.

 

This is a pic of the manifold i just got today








Only cause of concern is this, Im told it holds wg just fine, having it verified tomorrow



I run an AEM wideband as it is, Its all wired up and been in the car quite some time now, never had issues with it. The reason i have Blox A's in the car is i got them for a good price new when i had to headgasket done. Figured why the hell not put ARP's and cams in since heads off anyway. Couldnt afford to port it though. And these cams work just fine on factory valvetrain its like an itr cam thats why i got them. Im posting pics as we speak so you can see some things.

I have stri boost and oil pressure gauges and i do like them. just havent hooked up a sandwich plate yet to the car. but boost gauge works just great.

Im picking up a Tial or Precision wg, i dont see a point in turbosmart(****in garbage imo but thats my opinion) or any knock off ebay bullshit.

 

Figured id gut the trunk and paint it in my free time. came out pretty decent, didnt go insane on it


And my AEM wideband is in my cruise control spot, took a little dremeling but fits perfect like honda knew wed be doing this

 

why the huge injectors for the low whp goal?

 

Because i cna get rc750s for dam near free it seems, gettin them half price if i want them. And ID's flow so well you can get a 1000 to flow just the same as a 725 and there the same price. So why not?
