My Summer List for My Laser

[tintedglasses12]

I have a list that I'm going to spend my summer working for. I f anyone has any sugestions or anything that I should add, please tell me. And I already did my maintenance so I'm ready for upgrades.

- Extreme Turbo Systems 7" Street FMIC Kit
-Tial F38 38mm Wastegate
-D&N Performance Manifold with a 38 mm Exterior Wastegate Upgrade with a Upgraded O2 housing
-D&N Performance Turbo to Manifold Stainless Steel Studs
-Mr. Gasket Copper exhaust manifold gasket
-Thinking of a Blouch TD05H-18G Turbo(polished compressor housing and ported turbine housing)
-Megan Racing 3" Cat Back exhaust
-Megan Racing 3" Downpipe
-Auto Meter WideBand(Cobalt)
-Auto Meter Boost gauge(Cobalt)
-Auto Meter Oil pressure(Cobalt)
-Auto Meter Volt Meter(Cobalt)
-Lotek Triple Pillar pod(For my gauges)

Let me know what you think, any advice will help

Lots of nice pieces, but what are you doing for more fuel? How much boost are you running now, and how much do you want to run?

Im not sure probably Walbro 255 with 750cc injectors, I dont know what do you think. I would like to run 15psi at the most, with my stock turbo I'm not sure what I'm running

 

[whe3ls]

are you going to be getting a fpr, to go with the fuel pump asd injectors

 

[tintedglasses12]

Do i really need one tho

 

[whe3ls]

yes. do you also have a way to tune your car?


The FPR connects to the intake plenum using a vacuum hose. When there is vacuum in the plenum, the FPR lowers fuel line pressure 1 psi for every 1 psi of vacuum. When there is positive pressure in the plenum (turbo boost), the FPR increases fuel line pressure 1 psi for every 1 psi of boost. The FPR maintains fuel line pressure by controlling the amount of fuel that returns to the gasoline tank. To increase pressure, the FPR creates a restriction, reducing the amount of fuel that flows through it back to the tank. The factory FPR is not adjustable and has a limit to the maximum amount of fuel that can flow through it

ok thanks man

You certainly don't need all those mods if all you want to run is 15 psi. Just add a manual boost controller and turn it up.
Your first purchase should be a logger, if you don't have one already, so you can monitor knock and O2 volts while you turn up the boost. A larger exhaust is ALWAYS a good choice for a turbo car, but the fancy wastegate and exhaust manifold are not going to make a noticeable difference at 15psi, IMHO. The nice FMIC is also a good idea, but again, you aren't making enough boost yet to really heat up the intake air.
I think you should first try to get as much as you can out of your present setup, with the larger exhaust. You are going to hit fuelcut at ~17psi, and the stock 1G MAS will overrun at 17-18psi, so as long as you have good 93 octane to work with I would recommend just seeing how much boost you can run without knock on your present setup before you throw all those parts at it. A wideband is only useful if you have something to tune with, but a boost gauge is a necessity.
A 255 pump and 750 injectors will provide more than enough fuel for anything you will ever run on pumpgas, but you really should plan on an AFPR upgrade along with it. Is 15psi all you EVER will want to run? A better choice would be a used set of EVO 560cc injectors with an EVO 8 or 9 fuelpump. Many guys get away without an AFPR upgrade with the EVO pumps. That setup is good for at least 21-23psi, well beyond what the MAS and ECU are going to allow. Do you have an EPROM-type ECU? Contact me for an ECU upgrade to get past the fuelcut, or to correct for the injectors or a better MAS.

Whats your actual goals? HP or Track times? Also I dont see why you need that much wastegate control for a simple 18g. I would look into a bolt on 50-57trim as they will give you a lot better results on pump gas.

 

[GSXSixteenG]

I don't think the exhaust manifold and wastegate setup is worth it for only an 18g. Save your money and get an fp or 2g manifold both will flow better and not restrict airflow. Focus more on fuel and tuning before the fancy tubular manifold.


edit: Flow better than a 1g manifold I was talking about...not a DNP

 

[tintedglasses12]

Thanks Jeffo for the help.

I would actually like to run anywhere between 15- 20psi. I am lookin at a Innovative Motorsports DL-32 Datalogger, and also a Perrin Performance MBC. Both from ExtremePSI.com. And you say not to get the Wastegate or the New Manifold, but look into a 2G manifold. And I'm sorry to ask you this but what is a MAS. And where I live we only have 91 octane. If I do get the Wideband, is that datalogger alright. And I'm not sure but I just have the stock ECU, just what came with it when I bought it.

IMHO, that datalogger is not necessary for your goal, and it can't provide you with all the information that a logger specifically designed for Mitsubishis does. Do you have a laptop or PDA to log with? I prefer the TMO logger for the laptop, and its free:

Contact me if you need a cable for it that plugs right into your diagnostic port.
The MAS is your airflow meter, the thing inside that black aircan. It is only good to 17-18 psi, and then it will start to give you bad readings, making you go dangerously lean under boost. I have nice 3G MAS upgrades that are plug-n-play, or you can go with a MAS from a 2G turbo DSM. But, to properly use either MAS and larger injectors you should have a chip, especially with 91 octane. You need to open your ECU and check to see if its an EPROM:
89-94 EPROM Check
While you're at it, have the capacitors ever been replaced in your ECU? If not, they are BAD, and MUST be replaced ASAP, or your ECU will be ruined!
