Help with fuel mods

[RedWagon]

Well Im getting ready to order fuel parts and wanted to know what injectors, pump, FPR, fuel management, etc.... I would need in order to produce 400hp or close to it with my bullseye power Vtrim? Im looking into DSMlink right now and didnt know what else I would need and also if a wideband and maft would be good also.

A wideband is always a good idea! If you're going with Link, remember that you can go with injectors pretty ridiculously large and not have to worry about Link compensating for them... Give yourself some room for growth. I'm about to do my fuel stuff, I'm looking at the same type of power that you are... I personally am going with this: Slowboy Racing, Inc. :: DSM :: Fuel :: Fuel Kits :: SBR Ultimate Fuel Package for simplicity sake.

You're looking to get 400whp right. I have fic 750's and I'm making 330whp, my duty cycle is pretty close to 80%.

You should be fine with what I listed below.

aeromotive fpr
walbro 255
dsmlink
1000cc
wideband

255hp, minimum of 750cc injectors if you are planning on staying with gas--1000 minimum if you're going to run E85.

DSMLink would be ideal, especially if you're going with a 750cc class injector. 650's can get away with an SAFC but it will be much easier with Link.

Get a wideband. The Innovate LC1 is cheap and works great but will require a gauge for display if you use the SAFC.

If you go with DSMLink the LC1 will wire into the ECU, and I would recommend getting a MAP sensor as well to log boost.

Also a plum pilot.. E-bay is a good place to get one.

same goals as you, i have 'link, 950s, re wired 255hp fuel pump, fpr, ss lines, and the awesome new top of the line.... oem fuel filter...

 

[snowborder714]

I would say:

DSMlink (and you'll need an EPROM ECU and laptop/palm)
biggest injectors you can afford (just not bigger than 1150cc)
rewired 255lph fuel pump
AFPR
wideband O2
MAP sensor
maybe some SS fuel line between the filter and rail and also the rail and AFPR

I was also going to go with a Meth Inj. Kit for more BOOST. A local guy is selling an AEM EMS for 900 and it comes with like 3 extra sensors I believe are 3bar map sensor, AEM wideband and I dont know the last one. I think its iffy since the previous owner of the car was running mid to low 11's before he blew it up and now the new owner doesnt want it?

From what i have read about the AEM EMS it's not easy to use. I never used one so i cant really say but just what i read. Thats comin from people that used both.

If I were you, I'd use the DSMLink system rather than an EMS. According to the Link guys, only their system does the proper 3D fuel maps that the car needs to run properly (because they use the factory ECU as a starting place), rather than just jacking up the input from the MAF. There's something to be said for modifying the OEM part for accuracy rather than a "one size fits all" application.

I would advise not getting it. First of all, you can't really tune them yourself unless you really know what you're doing. They are very in depth as you can control a lot of stuff. And when you take it to someone to get it tuned, it'll run you about $400 give or take.

And the third sensor is probably an IAT sensor. You need the MAP and IAT sensors to use the EMS so they're not really extra.

There are people in here that run in the single digits with most tuning systems (anywhere from S-AFC probably to DSMlink and full standalone systems). So don't let anyone tell you that you need a standalone to run low times.

ok well I was introduced to DSMchips last night from a local guy and now am stuck between that and DSMlink. The AEM EMS would be nice if I lived close to somone who knew how to tune with it, but since Im in BFE Nebraska I will prefer to stay with the link or DSMchips. With DSMchips how do you tune with injectors that are 750cc?
