Now with those large injectors, would the FMU still be required? I'll dial in those settings this morning and drive to school (hopefully traffic won't be a bitch) and tell everyone how it goes when I get there. And I got the boost controller yesterday. The instructions are as clear as mud. What I got out of them is that I basically just "splice" in the controller to the wastegate vacuum source. I thought I had to use the top port on the wastegate though. (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 91

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/7/2006 12:37:10 PM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline yea im pretty sure that you actually have a resistor box on your car right now and your stock injectors are the 'peak and hold' type which are low impedance. you can, however, run high or low impedence injectors...but as i know it....the low impedence injectors work better for turbo cars, and yes you will want to keep your fmu...when you put in the s200 you wont need to fmu any longer. so if you run low imp, you need to have the resistor box (which your car may already have) if you run high imp...you do not need a resistor box ( and if your car has it...it will need to be removed) you should plug in the boost controller exactly how the instructions say.

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/7/2006 1:01:46 PM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline im not sure if you should turn up the boost anymore until you get those injectors though......your probably over the 80 percent duty cycle on your stock injectors, and i know at a certain point they may start to cut flow. and heres a list of injectors that you can use just in case you dont have the 3 or 4 hundred bucks for rc's and ill pull out my digi and take a pic of my resistor box in my accord so you know what to look for. 89-94 DSM 5-speed ~ 450cc, Blue tops, low imp 89-94 DSM Auto ~ 390cc, low imp 95+ DSM injectors ~ 450cc black tops, high imp. 84-85 RX7 GSL-SE 680cc, low impedence but only 2 per engine tho. 86-92 RX7 non-turbo 460cc(4 count), low or high impedence depenging on year. 86~92 RX7 Turbo 2 550cc(4 count), low or high imp.

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/10/2006 11:10:39 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Well, so beings the stage of my turbo lx ^_^ I have a t3/04e coming in. I figured 265 bucks is worth it. Can i claim that its greddy or turbonetics no, but everything shows that its true to form. 3" INLET DIAMETER 2" OUTLET WET FLOATING BEARINGS 1/8 NPT OIL INLET T3 / T4 FLANGE SPECS: . 50 A/R COMPRESSOR .63 A/R TURBINE .57 TRIM TURBINE WHEEL: EXDUCER: 2.48" MAYOR : 2.89" COMPRESSOR WHEEL : EXDUCER: 2.07" MAYOR : 2.36" My only real concern....... will it fit...... lol I may need fabrication because either the exaust pipe will bump into the alternator or the front motor mount on my car. But in the end it all depends on the design of the turbo manifold. But yeah log style with the flange facing the front of the car vs toward the bottom of the car..... im trying to get an image of that. Then i have to deal with the power steering resivoir being in the way of the tubing. I still need to take pictures of my car though lol maybe i am just seeing the turbo as larger then it actually is..... like a t6 size... yup i have a lot to consider (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 98

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/11/2006 12:52:21 AM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline yes you do its all about the placement, so that flange that hooks the turbo up to the manifold is critical. the turbo is actually pretty small but it will take up just about all the space in between the block and the radiator (in reply to marbro) Post #: 99

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/11/2006 12:57:35 AM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline *nods* i figured that much, when i get the turbo in i will be setting roughly where it should be mounted on the manifold to find if i will have trouble with the 3 inch exaust pipe im not all that concerned about the charge piping because that can be cut to fit (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 100

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/11/2006 8:05:19 AM    mbo1985 Posts: 778 Joined: 12/11/2005 From: Florida Status: offline When I got my turbo in the mail, I said to myself "how the heck is this gonna fit??". With the log style manifold with the flange that faces the front of the car, I didn't have much trouble with it. Of course, A/C got kicked out, but it was worth it for me. I did have to take some plastic off the passenger side cooling fan though to get the turbo to fit. I didn't have to mess with the motor mount at all. My downpipe looked like it was going to clip my alternator, but it has a good amount of clearence (it helps to take the electrical connector off the alternator when fitting the d-pipe). I was surprised how it all just kind of fell into place, and as soon as you get more pieces and see how things will fit, you'll have a better idea of what will need to be done, and it may be less than you think. There won't be a whole lot of room to work with things, but that turbo should fit nicely in there... almost like it should have been there the whole time. (in reply to marbro) Post #: 101

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/11/2006 5:12:24 PM    mbo1985 Posts: 778 Joined: 12/11/2005 From: Florida Status: offline I really want to go with the RC's since I'd like to get some brand new ones, but they're pricey. This coming week is payday, so I might just go for them... I'm 90% sure I'll invest in the RC's 440 cc low impedence injectors. Otherwise, I'll get some DSM's. (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 104

RE: Turbo Help!!! - 3/11/2006 11:40:08 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Youll just want to keep in mind the fuel map will have to be adjusted because you dont want 440cc injectors running at full during preboost. I will enjoy the day when i need a larger fuel rail and new injectors ^_^ < Message edited by marbro -- 3/11/2006 11:41:46 PM > (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 105
