nice, u being a wh0re that is, lol, jp, dam i just realized u were a mod and had over 4400 posts!!, reminds me of my old days at evolutionm.net

great news, im glad that'll work, hopefully tomorrow i can see what i can afford to buy.

since your online and you are spewing out good info., can ya tell me if i need the walbro and fpr for 7 psi or if the injectors are enough?

lemme know your opinion,
thanks a ton again
pete

imo bigger injectors will do the job, but its always good to have the walbro as it will be less likely to fail. since you said youve helped with other boost projects, im sure you know what happens if a fuel pump fails when your boosting . theres no need for the fpr, unless you decide to turn the boost up.

I have a high flow fuel pump and adj. fuel pressure regulator, running 7psi, but I always prefer to be on the safe side and have also known to be a lil too far on the safe side sometimes, so a high flow fuel pump would be prob be good (but not necessary) and then the injectors. A FPR is optional, up to you really - but lemme tell you that 450cc will flow MORE than enough fuel for only 7psi...

ebay T3/T04e turbo--------------------------------280 shipped

Thats gonna fall apart real quick.

Thats gonna fall apart real quick.

why do you say that?

 

[Evan.]

depends on the brand..hopefully its not ssautoshit..

 

[Evan.]

oh and btw..maxum 17ft, i have some parts that you might want for your kit, ie. t3/t4 oil drain flange and a boost gauge which both id let go for cheap

 

[maxum17ft]

thanks for the info, i always assumed i needed the fpr/fmu cause u usually do wit mitsubishis which is what im use to. heres my last project, the walbro fuel pump failed, and i ran lean for a few seconds and messed up a few valves:

looks like u guys just saved me another 75 bucks that i woulda spent on a not needed fpr

what parts u got, gimme the info.

and i AM NOT buying an ebay turbo, lol, i know ssauto's/xspower's are trash, im buying a REAL t3/t4 on ebay or whereever i get one cheap and still good. I actually just sold an evo3 16g gt turbo from xspower on ebay i had for my gsx and it was A MAJOR P O S FROM DAY ONE.

 

[Revolver]

depends on the brand..hopefully its not ssautoshit..

And I bet it is.

 

[Evan.]

hey bro, link to the turbo your looking at? and then consider my post above about things for sale that you could use..

 

[maxum17ft]

umm check out my last post #29, and how much for the boost guage and what brand is it

i would never buy another shitty turbo, here's the auction number to the evo3 16g xspower turbo i just sold on ebay, i hated it from day one about a year ago, i cant believe it pulled in 350 bucks!! 8027264358 www.ebay.com

dont worry, it'll be a real garrett/turbonetics/airresearch/etc. turbo, if i cant find a t3/t4 for the right price i'll get a disco potato, or a t3

 

[Evan.]

its a stewart warner boost gauge 2 1/16" in size reads up to 15psi / 30vac and backlights white, im lookin only for like 45 shipped or so, check out my thread in my sig for other stuff..good luck with finding a cheap t3/t4..

 

[maxum17ft]

good price but im broke till tax returns come in, or the lancer sells, if that car sells im just goin all out. i dont care if im 11,000 in debt, its the american way, lol.
really like the guage though, im gonna see if i can srounge up 45 bucks within a few days.

 

[Evan.]

cool bro sounds good, just pm me and keep me updated. Heh yeah it took me forever to get my setup all purchased and a couple overdraws from the bank..

 

[Shiznit]

if you were going to use an fmu then i would say get an fpr, but you dont need either of those since youre going uberdata. fmu's are very old school, i cant believe they are still used now days

 

[maxum17ft]

so anybody have any other ideas, such as reccommending a different part that will work better, or if i dont need any other parts or if im missing something.

thanks again,
pete oster

 

[Evan.]

maybe an oil pressure gauge, in order to fill all four gauge slots you have, plus its a good thing to have..just another random thought, then after that, I say go for it

 

[maxum17ft]

ok, just a quick update.

i got all my ecu stuff soldered in and im going to start tuning right now, i already burnt a chip so im gonna see my results pretty soon. and yes i know i dont really need it while im still N/A but i figured i have everything so why not get accustomed to it by using it.
