Allright, well, based on you guys' recommendations, I got the 3" O2 Eliminator turbo back with Cat and SS muffler. Overall I like it, since it gave huge performance gains, but everything else that went along with it bothers me. The pipe he sent me needed to be recut, it wasn't flanged, and there...
I hear that. Except 15mph turns... they have a way of sneaking up on you if you try them at 30. Anything else, np... you haven't lived till you've made a 55mph radar scanner HP box on a highway read 05 :)
If money is no issue, L1R has great spool and top end. And it's pure bolt on, assuming you have supporting mods to use it. Your mods list didn't include injectors, which you will need.
To anyone who has the RNR turbo back system, what is the sound like? I know the performance will be there, but I'm wondering if resonators are a good investment with this system. I don't want the sound of rice...
I'm assuming you have a boost gauge. If you don't, do not mess with that thing any more until you do. Just keep half turning it until you get a response, I started mine on the wrong end, so I got insane boost (I think I hit 20 once) before I finally got it into usable range. Yours sounds like...
I have the same problem. It was getting really bad for a while, slipping in 3rd-5th any time boost was over 5psi. Now it can take it if I ease into WOT. Mabye it self adjusted? who knows... my 2100 is in the mail though. I went for a 2100 cryo-treated from http://www.ffwdconnection.com . Should...
With mine, if I slowly release the clutch, while it's in that purgatory of reverse, it'll slip into gear every time, then work fine. Seems to get into gear when the pedal is about 1/4 of the way off the floor. I used to grind it a lot... not anymore!
If you're running a 255 pump with no fpr, you're running rich, and losing power. Does your car feel really smooth? Even with my 190, it took the ecu about almost a month to readjust to the fuel flow, and a 190 doesn't overrun the stock fpr.
I've got the walbro 190... wish I got the 3kgt one, as mine is really loud :( I didn't think the 190 would be as loud as the 255, but it's very audible at idle without radio. Don't make the same mistake...
So would it be worth it just to do the little tuning I have to do right now, if I were to swap in 2g pistons? I obviously plan on getting it way down the line, but it's an expense I'd like to get away from for now. I figured I'd just lower the boost a little, make my turbo more efficient, and...
You're really lucky fuel cut is programmed in, or you would have no more car. It's likely there's some damage to either the turbo or the motor either way though. I'd get that thing checked out...
I'm getting a 3" exhaust from RRE as soon as my clutch gets here and gets installed, so I was just hoping to have a solution to the problem, before it presented itself. I hear full exhaust can lead 14b's up to 20-22 psi in creep, and that a ported o2 may not be enough.
You could always tune for low knock, then disconnect your knock sensor when you actually go for an ET, to get better timing advance :) Not that thats a great idea... but it would work, and it would get around any sort of phantom knock the ecu is seeing.
I wouldn't remove both resonators unless you want to sound like a honduh. With just 1, you'd probably be ok. Persoanlly, if thats your rear body kit in the pic, I'd try to fab up a dual exhaust, and make it look sweet like a new 360 modena. My 2 cents...
Not to sound like a newb or anything, but couldn't you just disconnect the vacuum line that runs to the wastegate flapper actuator, and run it to the external? The vacuum line being the one that comes usually out of the compressor outlet pipe, into the boost controller, then out to the wastegate...
I got dejontools uicp myself. Was more work than I expected for just a pipe replacement, and 2/4 hose clamps broke on me (get new hose clamps if you buy theirs, before you start). The color was nice though, and the price can't be beat.
The downside would be slightly increased lag, and a huge dent in your wallet for something that wouldn't do much. If you increased the boost on your stock turbo, you would start to see an improvement from the stock sidemount, but it still wouldn't really be worth the expense, IMO. Pretty much...
The real reason I'd like to do this before the normal order of things, is to gain some low end torque (our cars have none), and be able to stick with the stock 14B, or a small 16g. I like the spool of it... What you said still doesn't answer my main question though, which is are fuel system mods...
I'm considering putting in forged pistons for some extra power by upping the compression ratio to 9:1 from 7.8:1. Would any fuel mods be necessary? (besides the upgraded fuel pump of course). I don't plan on having them bored, or anything like that, just want a single drop in replacement to get...
Triple supra I/Cs are way too big IMO. Dejontool puts together 3 stock 1st gen I/Cs, which fill up the front mount area. Supra I/Cs, being nearly twice as big, and much thicker, will cut air flow to the radiator signifigantly, and are probably way too big unless you're trying to run something...
I know it won't add any real performance, I don't expect it to. I just think it will help intercooler heat soak a fair bit with the side inlet being that much bigger (I checked, it's a lot bigger). Upgraded alamo sidemount going in tomorrow, wanted to make it almost as good as a front mount...
You're right batman. So, I guess to ask once again, has anyone done this? 550's + 2gmas with or without afc, and their results/afc settings? Hopefully with unhacked mas? I was hoping to tune by hacking the MAS (put in restrictions to richen, take out restrictions to lean). Obviously with O2 and...
Hi guys. I need to replace my front bumper (it's cracked) and I saw this for only another $50 over an oem bumper. It's not stock, and I don't really like that, but it would provide a much improved radiator and intercooler air scoop, so I think it would be worth it to put it on. No, I am not a...
NOS is 1/3 oxygen, with a cooling effect as well, and that can blow up engines on it's own. 100% oxygen with no cooling would certainly destroy everything without severe modifications, and even then it wouldn't work any better than NOS would before it blew up everything (100 shot max or so on...
Based on what I know about open loop operation, I guess I need an afc, since the ecu won't be able to compensate at all :/ Oh well, guess I'll get one... are digital o2 gauges worth it? or can I get an autometer pos to tune?
11 psi is stock. what about the top of 4th? if wot gives you 100 all the time, either your o2 sensor is off, or you are running really rich. drop it down to .95 to be on the safe side (so you don't lean out if your o2 is off) and see how your power is, and if you hit fuel cut at the same place.
And yes, I do realize it's still tricking my ecu, but without actively tricking my ecu (via afc), I was hoping to get away from having to be so exact in my fuel calculations, that each mod would make me retune. I know the ecu can compensate at least 10% either way.
Well, that was helpful. I know it can work, because I've heard of people doing it, and I didn't think their afc trims were off more than 5% anywhere. Anyone else who's actually done it?
I know the 2g mas alters the karman signal about the same amount 550's are bigger than 450's. I'm wondering if the ecu can make up the difference, and if idle will suffer. I really don't want an afc to trick my ecu if I can avoid it. I know it will work, but I don't know how well. If you've done...
