this is for anyone with a turbo setup

Okay guys this is my setup. This is the short list:

f22b1(built)
crower rods
wisco pistons (11:1)
and the other basic built parts for a motor

fmax kit w/
T3/T4E

I have the current fuel stuff:

mf2 controller w/ 2 lucas 470cc
4 rc injector 370cc
4 rc injector 550cc
V-AFC
AEM fuel rail
AEM fpr
hypertech high flow intank fuel pump

anyways Im asking everyone thoughts on how i should setup up my fuel. I am running 10-12 psi on my car. I am also looking at getting a votec fmu....

most important thing is tuning man, get the thing on the dyno and work your way up from low boost to higher boost, etc. It'd help a lot if you have someone who actually knows what their doing in the tuning chair. It sounds like you should probably also pick up a good book on fuel delivery or turbocharging in general, just to further build your confidence. I would ignore the fuel setup advice of anyone though who doesn't personally have a well running turbo setup themselves. Call around to some local dynos and get to know some people and see if they'll help you once you get it all ready to begin working on that.

i have been runnin my car on 10 psi for awhile now with the mf2/missing link setup for about 2 years. I recently built another motor with 11:1 so i was trying to get some better info on fuel tuning. thanks for u info

 

For a built engine I would go with a standalone. I have a stock F23 running the AFC Hack and it runs perfectly, but it's only good to 10PSI. I would look into either the Hondata or the AEM EMS if you have the money. If not look into Uberdata. It's like hondata but cheap. Good luck.

 

isnt 11:1 compression kinda high for boosted application?

 

i'll be using

walbro 255
dsm 450's
safc hack
msd 6btm

w/ the majority of the drag4 kit.

 

Your fuel pump>
-8an fuel line>
hi flow fuel filter>
your rail>
your 550cc injectors>
your mf2>
controlled with Uberdata.

That'll get you what you need, and more.

 

Just be carefull with the high compression. I love high compression turbo cars. They have a lot more bottom end and spools faster. Keep us updated.

 

would it be ok to use the Vafc instead of the Safc...arent they the same except vafc does vtec too..so wouldnt it be a bonus to run a Vafc with a soc vtec turbo car so u get both tunig abilities?

That's what I think, but from reading other topics it seems as if it's fine to turbo a highcompression engine, as long as the turbo is not too big and with too much boost. There seems to be a greater risk when the turboed engine has a high compression ratio, i.e. in the case of spikes. (I guess that's why people talk about the importance of fuel management systems)

i notice a big different in my spool up time, on my last motor (8.5:1 vs 11:1).

If you have or plan to spend all that money on a setup, why not get a standalone or use Gimpy's ECU ROMs on http://Accordinglydone.com . To spend all that and then use an FMU =

 

ur right on spending a whole lot of money, however i looked into the standalone, but there is no one near me that can tune if for me, i dont have any tech support near my area.
