Hey guys,
Thanks for all the info in such a short time. I totally understand what you guys are telling me, but I don't really want a 300whp car...Put it this way, the car was fast as hell on the highway w/out the turbo, I just wanted some extra torque in the lower rev ranges. For my setup, I know that a 10.7:1 ratio is bad for turbo, but a Vortech kit for an S2000 (comp ratio of 11:1) uses an FMU, at 7-8psi, which is what I have, and it works fine. I'm not looking for massive amounts of power, I just wanted a SMALL turbo kit, which is what i have bought. I could always upgrade my fuel system in the future and upgrade to bigger turbo's etc., but I just want a reliable daily driver. Here are my Immediate plans:
Buy a Walbro 255lph fuel pump (in case its running too lean)
decrease boost pressure to 6psi MAX
Now, my question is, with my setup, (I don't really want to change FMU), is this safe to drive?
My bro has a Galant VR4 all hooked up, and he's gonna give me an extra A/F gauge, so it won't cost me anything.
Also, I'm not totally strapped for cash so I could spend another 300-400 on parts, but if it will work fine with what I have, then I'm gonna save it.
Thanks again,
Mike B
