New GSX

[Jiinx]

Hey everyone, just picked up a 98 Eclipse GSX that needs alittle work. This is my first boosted car and can not wait to get it on the street! I just hope the boost addiction is not as bad as everyone make it out to be! I feel like I'm trying Heroin for the first time!

The kid I got it from had a bit of work done, FMIC, Wally 190, Injectors, a EBay 20g, and catback. He had a SAFC in it when I first looked at it, but kept it and I just found out its on stock injectors now. Now the problem I have not drove it yet, had a few minor things to fix before hand, I know the stock injectors and fuel trim is not adequate for a 20g under full boost. I dropped all my cash on the car, so I wont have the extra for new injectors and tuning for a few weeks. Can I safely run at say 10 psi until I get the fuel sorted out?

You should be fine at 10psi, if he ganked that afc you may have issues, hes an asshole for taking it out unless that's what you both agreed on.

Naaw everything was suppose to stay, which needless to say pissed me off, It would not have been a problem if I could have planned for buying a tuner and injector, but it is what it is. What kind of issues would arise from the afc being pulled?

Thanks!

Congrats on your purchase, it sounds nice... If you dont mind me asking what did you get it for and also post pics if you can...!!

Thanks gsxtc21 I love it, been one of my favorite cars for a long time! I will get pictures up as soon as I get it out of the garage, which may be a week or two, but I will get them up. Its got a salvage title, previous front end damage. all cosmetic no frame damage! So I got what I thought was a good deal for $2500.

Wow really nice price....! I got my 98 gsx for $4500 in pretty good condition and i love mine...

Thanks!

well if he had a map for that setup the fuel/air ratio will no longer be correct

I figured the air/fuel ratios would be off, with stock injectors back in and him pulling the afc. That's why I am concerned about running at 10psi, with the afc being pulled the map would just go back to the default Mitsubishi map, correct?
