16g Fun Time

[1gfromND]

k well here it is im new to this site but I've had my 92 talon awd for a couple of months now and I just got done fixing that stupid ecu cap crap. But now my first major power adder to the motor would be a Big 16 G. I'm wondering who has one on their car now and is it goin go for you? and is there anything else you should add after just bolting it up should i be worried about heat soak etc...thanx.

what you'll need to get a 16g moving....:
550injectors
fuel pump,
exhaust,
boost gauge
tuning devices

I have a small 16G on an essentially stock car (rewired fuel pump is all the fuel stuff I have). As long as I keep the boost down to around ~13 psi, I'm good as far as knock goes.

It was wicked easy to bolt onto the car (did it myself in one weekend, did a bunch of other stuff at the time too, which is why it took me more than one day), and you don't need to mod the car to use it, as long as the boost stays reasonable.

BD's list there is a great setup to really get the most out of the 16G. As far as cheapness, and usefulness goes, the GM-MAF would probably be your best bet for a "tuning device". You'll want to get a logger though (I reccomend pocketlogger), just so you can make sure you are getting the last bit of performance out of the car w/o knocking too much. For a fuel pump, a Walbro 190 lph would be great, any exhaust really (2.5 or 3) would help, especially if you get a turbo-back. And for an intercooler, you can find supra side-mounts cheap, and people have seemed to have good luck with those.

yup, supra smic is good if you can get it to fit right. i use it on my 20g with the added aid of water injection.

also, if ya get 550s, your gonna need a fuel controller (S-AFC) or your going nowhere..
