Possibly. But I was told there may be some trouble with it before.



Umm. Do you know anything about running 8psi w/o any management? Take a poll of the success rates of guys w/ stock engines and an FMU running over 6psi.

Yeah, it's been pretty well covered on this forum many times. That is why I can't understand why you would have spent your money the way you did. Speaking of which, did you mount up that new exhaust manifold yet? If not, you might consider going for the same exhaust manifold that is going on KzA's car. Check it out when he posts his pics.

You could always save up and buy the piggyback.


( Now because of Murphy's Law, I'll knock on wood - don't need some freak accident blowing my car to smithereens )

I just spen the last 45 minutes catching up on this thread. Nick, sorry for the loss man. Please give me a call to discuss some "help" with my setup.

Hey, send me a PM with contact info and I'll give you a call.


Nick(Perfworks) is stepping away from the kits. He has responsibilities to uphold. I'm a good friend of Nicks, and I talk to him everyday, usually a few times. If you have any questions - I'll get them to him.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Ok. Folks, my PM box can't seem to get unfull, so if you need to reach me, e-mail me.

 

[Micah]

just email me your number "turbomicah at aol com"

 

[LinuxRacr]

I just talked with Perfworks. I will e-mail my number.

i was under the imprettion that you would be able to tune the fuel curve on the stock injectors with this unit, is this true or are you only able to tune the additional injectors

 

[Micah]

You can tune either or both. If you look at the screenshot, you can see this. F1, will show you where to tune the stock injectors, and F2 will show you where to tune the auxilliary injectors.

 

[PaulMP3]

what is the max psi on the stock injectors, w/o having to go with xtra injectors.

 

[Micah]

Hmm... - that's a good question. Can't say that I know. But, I would look at it this way:

The stock injectors are like anything else typically OEM type parts. I highly doubt they would provide much more than absolutely needed. Lets face it - these cars are designed to make a profit. Still, it's widely accepted knowledge that our cars do tend to run pig rich. So with a light application of boost - say 4-5 psi, I'd guess that the stock injectors can perform up to the task.

Still, I'd rather run the stock injectors as they are supposed to run, and supply extra fuel via auxilliary injectors. It's safe and effective, the stock ECU performs normally, doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Just my $0.02

 

[Kooldino]

Yeah, it's been pretty well covered on this forum many times.

Ok, so then why did you suggest that I run 8psi? Do you WANT me to blow my engine? You're not making any sense here, man.

That is why I can't understand why you would have spent your money the way you did.

?? Way back when I ordered my kit (before you were even a member here, mind you), there was really only two ways to go...Spool or FM. I tried waiting as long as I could for engine management, but nothing came out. It's just starting to come out now. I really don't see why you're so baffled here...it's not like I've done anything that 100 other people haven't. You have engine management. That's great. It wasn't available when I ordered my kit, so I made due with what was available. I can always upgrade in time.

Speaking of which, did you mount up that new exhaust manifold yet?

No, I was supposed to do it today, but it fell through. I should get it in next Sat.

If not, you might consider going for the same exhaust manifold that is going on KzA's car. Check it out when he posts his pics.

Well, unless it bolts up to my current piping, etc, then I'd be looking at an entirely new kit, not just a manifold.

You could always save up and buy the piggyback.

Yup. I've had that in mind as an option since April. You're not telling me anything I didn't know long before you did. Hey, I really wish I could afford engine management...but I'm saving for a house and don't have $1K+ for engine management & injectors to throw around.

 

[Kooldino]

what is the max psi on the stock injectors, w/o having to go with xtra injectors.

I'm sure I calculated this in some thread awhile back...run a search and see what you come up with. I'm too lazy to calculate it now.

Also, are you talking about stock fuel pressure or no? Just things to keep in mind.

 

[GOTZOOM?]

Who do I call to order a piggyback? I want to run 15 PSI on 110 octane. Will it be or can it be preprogrammed for this(I am running a T3/T4). Are they available now for shipping?

 

[Micah]

Nick M. is at a show until Wednesday, you can call him at the shop. 732-222-3679.

Yes, the piggybacks are in stock, and yes, it can be programmed for that level of boost but may require extra fuel injectors. Then again 110 octane is pretty nice and forgiving fuel, still - I've never run more than 93 in my protege but I'm only at 8 psi. Honestly Nick M. could answer that better than I could.

He also has a stand alone unit which you may wish to ask him about. Boost is addictive, and once you hit 15, eventually - you're going to want more.

I'll call him tommorrow to ask him about it for you.

[gimpo2]

so how much longer until some dyno numbers come out for your car micah?

 

[Micah]

I'll ask at the shop when I am down there today.

My car is running fine, the only tuning left is dyno tuning. On the street, and for everyday driving, and when I feel like getting on it - it's fine. I keep it in auto mode unless I want to accellerate hard, then I go to sport mode, and just back off the throttle a little between shifts. Anyone who is at the Ocean County Park meet on the 31st will get to see it in action.

But we do have some Auto kits which need to be shipped, so I need to mount up the stage I turbo kit first, before we can ship it out. Just need to ensure fitment, then create the fuel maps.
