I don't want to push more then 22psi TOPS. Just because,it's a DD... :rolleyes:

Good, because I wouldn't expect that set up to be good for more than 16-18psi of boost.

If you buy a pre-made Megasquirt from Terry or someone else (maybe I'll start making them... ;) ), the install really shouldn't be that difficult.

Here's the wiring diagram from one of the MS websites. It might look a little complicated, but you could probably finish it all in a few hours.

wow, can't we all just get along hahaha


yeah, if you're wanting 22psi, you might as well throw the s-fmu out the window as well :thumb:
 
yeah umm...if you wanna run that much boost by tuning with s-fmu, have fun :notgood:

So excluding the MSnS and Portfeuler, what would be best to tune with?

AEM EMS. Those are your best 2 options, and as you push higher boosts, those will be your only 2 choices.

id really hate if someone hijacked my thread :notgood:

Your last post in this thread was over 2 weeks ago, where you said "ill let u kno if i have any more questions again thanks alot". Your issue was resolved, the thread went on without you. No need to get an attitude about it.
 
i guess so, but most people who post in their about turboing their n/t's think of it as their own little thread for their turbo questions, and updates, and someone hijacks it to ask about tuning....

Oh give me a damn break. The last topic discussed before I posted was something I was confused about so I asked a couple quick questions.

Thats the point of the thread, so others can view, comment, or seek help on the posted topic. Just because I asked some questions WHICH WOULD BENEFIT YOU too, doesn't meen it was hi-jacked. Hell, we never even went off topic. :nono:

What do you care anymore, your selling it for a GSX you traitor! :nono: ROFL
 
how would it benefit me, i was asking about piecing together a turbo kit, not engine management.... i dont care anyways, GSX :D btw car is for sale pm me

Wow. WTF

If youre asking question about boosting the 420a, the information I asked about is definately something you will want to recieve correct information on. If not, you'll end up on here posting the same questions I asked... Probably in a new thread too.

The 550s, pump, fmu, and safc are all pieces that become a part of piecing together a turbo kit. So how would that diff from your post topic???
 
ok, whatever i see this is gonna turn into a stupid ass argument so, last night when i posted that reply i was high,i posted it in good humor,but keep postin on this thread fine with me.good luck with your setup

Alright, lets just take it easy here. Lets get back on topic, no more arguing. FUEL MANAGMENT!

Yeah I'm with Chris here.. So the AEM EMS, would that require a laptop to view the flow charts? I know theyre pretty expensive, but I'm not sure exactly what it does for our cars.

So the only way to run 22 psi, and maybe 15 daily, would be to purchase the EMS, 550cc, SAFC (or would it be unneeded?) pump, and sfmu?

Is there any other way to go about the feul setup?
So far we've covered the SMFU, 550s, Pump, and SAFC tuning... MSnS.... Portfeuler.... AEM EMS, 550, pump, safc?

I know I sound rather confusing but I'm honestly just in a bind about what I want my feul setup to be. There are tons of options, but I want to take my time and do it right the first time, so I'm not stuck with some parts to sell because they weren't needed.
 
yeah umm...the aem ems would be the most expensive I would say...and no there isn't an actual setup for our cars, so you would have to just get the universal one. Of course the SAFC is garbage once you have yourself some nice engine management, most of us don't even like using it before we have ems.

Just go with the squirt...you shant be dissapointed :thumb:
 
How much PSi does that hold up to? around 20-24?

So I guess we've concluded that a SFMU, 550's, pump, and SAFC wouldn't support 22 psi? Only 16-18? I'm not tuning the car myself, SBR will be. I'm not sure if that changes anything, but I wanted to give you all a rough idea of whos doing the final tuning with the setup. That way, if particular tuning is needed, it's out of my hands... literally.. :thumb:
 
SBR is good guys...but I don't really like how they've tried diving into the 420a platform, when all they really know is the 4g stuff. They keep trying to say that using just an SAFC, you can tune the ECU to control much bigger injectors...I just don't feel safe with that. Anywho, go ahead with the megasquirt, and we'll see what kinda tuning they can do for ya.
 
So the best bet is to either go with the injector set up, MS, or por fuler system. Say I went with the portuler system and had the Hahn stage II kit, Forged internals, Ported head, Intake manifold, underdrve crank pulley, 550cc, and a 255, and was tring to push 20 psi. What do you think my hp reading would be close to? Im ready to get the fuel thing working man but the port fuler thing is so expensive.

You can never tell. That sounds like my same setup exept Ive got the .2L and 0014 turbo cams over ya! I'd say HOPEFULLY you get around........ 300Hp. Not sure about WHP tho..

are you talking about the MSnS? As much boost as your fuel system can handle. There is no limit to boost with the MSnS since it is a full stand alone. The amount of boost you can run will be dependent on your turbo and injector sizes(not taking into account block strength)

After doing precise calculations on that setup, you will undoubtedly see whp numbers in the range of 140hp - 6000hp.

No bench racing :nono:
