Hello everyone. I am in the process of doing some maintenance on my talon, and I am going to have a little bit to play around with after. I was looking into chips for dsms. My mods are as follows;
Evo 3 16g
Evo 3 Manifold
SBR Stage 2 Race Head
3" VRS Exhaust
Evo 8 FMIC
Koyo Radiator
Act 2600
Boost Gauge/Oil Pressure Gauge
Blitz Full Auto Timer
Mods I will be getting in the next month;
FIC 650's or 750's
Walbro 190
Boost Controller
My goal at this time isnt that much. I was planning on running 16-20 lbs daily. I prefer to run 20lbs daily. My compression all across my cylinders are 160 and holds steady.
I have a few questions. What do you guys think, with the motors state can it handle 20lbs daily driven? I'm sure it can, but my question is more in the lines of longevity. I know this matters on how you treat the car, maintenance, tuning and such. What I would like to see are personal experience out there who has daily driven 16-20lbs for at least 1-2 yrs no problem. How is your motor running now? I'm sure this all depends on set up too. Something similar to my planned set up. I was looking at dsmchips website the other day reading some of the features that can be integrated in the eprom ecu's. There are some cool things they can do with eproms. One of the features that I am confused and dont fully get is eliminating fuel cut. Why would you take it off completely or even raise it? Pro's and con's please. What is the downfall of eliminating fuel cut, safeguard wise? What could be the bad from taking off? Is it a good idea to take it out completely or just raise it? Should I just leave that alone? As far as picking injector size, I know for what my goal is currently 650's would be fine, but for the same price should I go 750's. To my understanding these chips will compensate for them and the car will run as close to stock like. How about gas mileage, between 650's and 750's how would the gas mileage differ? I'm sure running 20lbs vs stock 10lbs I would not get same gas mileage, that I understand. But realistically how bad will my fuel economy get with 650's?How much worse on 750's? Also the order form for the chip asks what octane fuel I will be running. What is the best way to pick octane to be tuned for on a daily driver, the highest I can get or the highest more availabe of ? I talked to jeff and he stated that he could lean the AFR maps out to 11.0:1 , which is still very conservative for 93 octane fuel. What do you guys think? I know it's a novel, I've done as much research as I can. I still have unclear questions in my mind. Please as much feedback would be great.
