HKS 2540 is in.......BUT

[ricknismo]

I've got it in and it pulls hard up top but a couple of things have happenned.

Firstly it runs 15psi at low boost

and secondly,in first and sometimes second it hits what seems to be a fuel cut.

Is that what it is?

Whats my nexts step?

Do any of you with high flows or bigger turbos run that much boost as soon as its in or hit a boost or fuel cut?

I think I need aFuel cut defender and regulator for more boost.

I'm not that rich at the moment even though my fuel mixture is.

Heres the old jigger.

Well, I can understand that as 12 seconds is REALLY slow......

I suppose I will have to get a 3037 or a GT30 or something then....

Reckon that would be enough to keep up?

:shake:

[ricknismo]

I'm still dreaming of a 12

So where does the 2540 start making good power?

What other mods have you done, fuel comp. i hope.

[ricknismo]

It was too good an oportunity when the turbo came up.My budget is yet to fund the rest.But Its been about 2 months now and its running good.Dyno run tomorrow.

Make sure you let us know how you go. Pop your dyno run on here for a looksie. You will probably at least need a Fuel Cut Defender to get the most out of the turbo. Besides having fuel run out maybe. I have a FCD they are quite fiddly the more boost you allow the more the fuel leans out. Good to a certain extent as our cars inherently run rich. Other people have used fuel bleed valves to lean out fuel.

Have you still got the stock AFM, if so you would definately be maxing it out (5.0v+) with a bigger turbo at 15psi, it sort of feels like a flat spot.

[ricknismo]

I'll get a pic of the curve soon.I got 266hp at the wheels with next to no difference at 15,16 or 17 psi.It was still running rich but we didn't risk another psi.The curve flatened at about 240 hp then jumped up and flatened on 266.Not bad concidering I have done nothing but change the fuel pump.

[Guest | hype^ |]
