Built motor, t3 super 60, megasquirt.

:
'03.5 MSP(Yellow!)
EDIT: Go to page 5 for updated dyno sheets, with improved timing!

IMG_1782.jpg


list of mods:
orged motor(CP pistons, oliver rods), .020" overbored, knife-edged and stress-relieved crank, ported head and intake manifold, HiBoost t3 internal wastegate exhuast manifold, t3 super 60 Internal Wastegate, custom front-mount intercooler, hardpipes in stainless(should have done aluminum), custom 2.5" DP and 3" exhuast, with one 3" cat, one 3" resonator, and a 3" flowmaster 50 series muffler.

Fuel mods include WRX 440cc injectors(cheap!), Accufab FPR, AN-6 fuel lines, CPR fuel rail (full custom CNC'd, on the way), and Megasquirt fuel management. for more information on the megasquirt side of things, click here.Ignition is also controlled by Megasquirt, using ford's EDIS (Electronic Distributorless Ignition System, basically the same thing as what's stock on the protege, just with a seperate ignition control module in addition to the PCM).

Body Mods: none! and i like it that way!

Suspension mods: correct alignment(toe out on the rear!), and the delsing motorsport rear bar brackets, adjustable bar soon to come.

Interior Mods: sirius, wimpy single 12" sub to round out the sound of the stock stuff, Corbeau CR1 seat(reclinable, woohoo!), Autopower bar on order, 6pt. G-force belts on order.

That's about it, check this out for more pics:

no, this is at 15psi. No timing control as of yet, just A/F ratio, so I have a feeling the timing is either at a flat 10*, or just simply not optimized. Pulls hard enough for me! haha

So when are you going to put that built motor to use?
 
More info on the megasquirt please (the link doesnt work)
Ive been interested in it for a while. But have alwas held off becuase on the offical page they talk about how they cant control sequential injection yet. Still waiting on V2.

Unless you are just doing a highly tuned N/A setup, sequential injector control is not a must. Even on the stock PCM, the injectors are fired in batch most of the time anyway (unless you are just putting around town at light throttle). If you are looking for an EMS to add fuel for a turbo setup, then you will be fine with a system that fires the injectors in batch.

when i get some more dyno time and timing control, as well as more fuel pressure. I'm limited right now by fuel(running out at 6.5k or so), and I am nervous cause it's running on stock timing for the moment. I'm also having major boost creep issues, so that needs to be sorted out.

yea... timing will give you a lot more... and dont most t3/t4's boost creep like a mofo?

As for fuel, i cant belive your running out just yet... We've had no fuel starvation issues thus far, and have only run them to about 85% effeciency.
 
yeah, I'm kinda worried about it. I'm most definetly running out of fuel. At a 12:1 AFR (not as rich as I'd like to run for track days/schools), I hit 100 duty cyle at 5.2k rpm, then start creeping above 12:1 around 6k or so. So I'm def. running out of fuel. I think the problem is I don't have enough timing or compression to run this kind of power without the amount of boost I'm running. So it's just more stuff to work out.

Yeah, not sure why you would run out of fuel. Alot of people have pushed their stock set-up alot farther than your set-up is right now with no problems.
 
how in the world they did that, i don't know! just by doing simply fuel calculations on RCengineering's site, i have calculated for almost 700cc injectors for 350 bhp. more info on that ongoing discussion here.

Didn't you have extra injectors on your setup?
There is something I have been wondering about, maybe you can tell me. Fuel cut defenders basically work by limiting the voltage that the ECU sees coming from the MAF, right? So is there any way to avoid fuel cut and still add more fuel with just a piggy back and no changes to the injectors?
 
NIce numbers! get the fuel problem worked out, and then lets see what that car can do at 20 psi heh

Yes, fuel cut is MAF voltage maxed. The beauty of extra injectors is that when tuned with, you do not need to do s*** to the stock injectors. In the case of the MPI, tuning is easier without having to tune out bucking. An O2 clamp is needed for an extra injector setup.
 
true indeed. No offense guys, but let's talk about this in another thread where it won't clutter up the simple dyno thread. Thanks.

No way in hell you are out of injectors. How much fuel pressure are you running.

You are like 200 hp off of what you should be at. If timing was that far off you should have mis fired. Does not look like it on the dyno sheet.

yah. That's pretty much what I was thinking. I am running whatever fuel pressure stock is(I'm assuming 3 bar). I haven't put in the regulator yet, although I do have the stuff to install it. What the heck would be holding me back? There's no way the fuel pump is cutting out, it's a walbro 225. The stock rail is good to more than this, maybe my filter it clogged or something.
