2g GSX need advice on summer budget build

[ed1380]

like the title says, I need advice with my summer build. I spent the past 24 hours reading and have learned alot, but still need lots of help. I'm going with a evo III 16g. FIC 550 injectors. rewired stock pump. and apexi neo afc. I have air fuel guage. Boost gushed. Just want a oil pressure gauge

The 16g and afc are from the same guy, and it's already tuned for 550cc injectors by forged performance.

am I missing anything else?

Thanks

upgraded maf (3G / 482 MAF) would be a cheap addition. Is all your maintenance up to snuff?

 

[iBoostDSM]

Everything looks good. I would suggest getting atleat a Wablro 190 pump and rewire it. You can find them really cheap used. Good luck!

Hard pipes for upper and lower intercooler will help if you're going to up the boost. If you plan on running a FMIC later on though, I'd recommend waiting on that as the SMIC pipe and FMIC pipes (specially the short route) are different.

 

[icerob]

i agree. you need at lease get 190 fuel pump.

Do you happen to have a laptop? If so I'd suggest get Ceddymods /Ecuflash for you tuning solution instead of a Afc since you already have a 98 and getting it retuned. And as stated above you should certainly grab atleast a walbro 190 fuel pump or a evo IX fuel pump. You will definitely need the fuel.

safc is tuned for 15lbs so it's not that much boost. I saw a thread that did a comparison of fuel pumps and a rewired stock pump flows 99% as much as a normal 190. I also dont have a real HP goal in mind. If I get 250 I'll be happy

maintenance will be done before any mods are added.


Since the afc was tuned with a similar tune ill try to use that as a base to start from.

So a maf from a 3g eclipse? Is there any writeup about it

Do you have exhaust? That will be a great addtion.

 

[ed1380]

stock exhaust is 2.25 inches. up until 350-400hp 2.5inches is usually used. IMO not worth the money

why did you ask the question if you already have all your answers. Hundreds of people on this website have 16g setups. Look at what they are running and how much power they make, and then decide what you need and what your budget allows.

If you cant afford a 60$ fuel pump, don't bother even modding the car though.

I've actually learned alot by reading other peoples builds with similar setups. Hence why I haven't asked so many questions. This thread helped me decide to get a fmic. I previously wanted to stay with the stock cooler.

Its not that I can't afford it. Its the fact that its not necessary. Actually found out last night that with upgraded lines the stock pump will actually outflow a 190 with stock lines. So with stock lines they are 99% the same.

good job keep reading .

good luck with the 16g

I guess if you want to make 230hp the stock exhaust and stock pump is cool, then again why would you waste your time to make such little hp.
Im sure by a/f you mean a narrowband 60 dollar gauge and not a useless wideband right?

I take it you havent seen this article? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-tuning-ecu/366003-injector-fuel-pump-supported-airflow.html

I mean forget $60, you can get a evo IX fuel pump which flows about the same as the walbro 190 for ~$30. I mean for the amount of gain you're getting for the price its seems like a no brainer to me. Why try and max out the stock pump while a rewired 190 can support what your going for and give you plenty of cushion on your FUEL system.

 

[ed1380]

Thats the same writeup that made me realize stock rewired = 190

in that case I'll probably do the evo pump rewired. right now I'm just gathering parts and info. going to research loggers tonight. if anyone has any good links or advice please post them up. and cheap = good. so no dsmlink. not yet. the next gsx will get dsmlink and the whole 9 yards.

Have a laptop? If so look into evoscan.

 

[iBoostDSM]

^+1 look into evoscan. $20 download of there site and $10 cable off eBay. What's not to like.

So when did a wideband become useless? I think you have that backwards. If you ask me and all my experience with cars in general a narrowband is the useless light show.

link to cable please. I already have a cheapy ebay odb2 cable. also ebay bluetooth obd2 dongle. its 25 if you dont buy their cable



I think he meant useful



looks like the previous owner made it easier to rewire looks like 6 guage or something with 50A fuse right to the battery

 

[iBoostDSM]

^ I hope that he was being sarcastic. A wideband is the gauge you want.

he was being sarcastic cause the OP is trying to get cheap on important parts.

 

[iBoostDSM]

If your cable is eBay cable is a 1.3U it should work. Heres a link when I was trying to figure it out. I never followed through getting it to work because I got DSMLink. But if you install Evoscan and ECUflash it should have the right drivers to have the cable work.

I have a vagcom cable. That should work. Right?
