The Next Step?

[DaShMiEsTeR]

hey peeps.

currently running a 32 gtst 1990

current mods:

BOV

POD

FMIC

BOOST CONTROLLER

TURBO TIMER

HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH

COILOVERS

COILPACKS (SPLITFIRES)

3 1/4 EXHAUST WITH HI FLOW CAT

STOCK TURBO

STRUT BRACES

What would my next step be? I am not sure whether to start modding the engine(fuel pump, oil can etc) or turbo I know i need a ECU, which i am getting next week. but should i install that after or before turbz and engine work?

You need programmable management a.s.a.p.

The other power mods are much less effective without it.

[fLipKnot]

i reckon you should start putting in the supporting mods for the turbo before you actually install the turbo. It all depends on what kind of turbo you're getting. Injectors might be needed as well. I would do my injectors, fuel pump install the ECU then turbo goes in and after, tuning of the ECU.

[DaShMiEsTeR]

i have been told that the ECU should be done. which is why i am going to put it in next week but wat sort of power would i be looking at after ECU?

[sh@un]

around 170rwkW if eveything is healthy.

after you do ecu the next step would be fuel pump. it won't gain you any power, but it is a good preventative measure against it leaning out. then go turbo, and possiby injectors, depending on how big you go with the turbo, and how the stock injectors handle the turbo upgrade.

Fuel pump FIRST...as soon as possible...90% of all old fuel pumps would be on their way out...you don't want it leaning your mixtures out so much that it causes engine damage...

[mad082]

stick it on the dyno and see what the afr's are like. if they are a bit rich then there is no need for a fuel pump yet as an ecu will lean the afr's out a bit, so take a bit of stress of the fuel pump.

[DaShMiEsTeR]

so right now its at ECU then fuel pump then turbo. thanks for the help peeps

Mate...Just for safety i'd get a new fuel pump first...i blew an engine because my fuel pump was crook and i didn't know it...car ran fine and drove really well...but the afrs were lean due to the pump...a pump is a support mod and should always be changed when unsure....

[mad082]

he should put it on the dyno first and see what the afr's are like. if they are lean then go the pump. if they are rich then the pump can wait.

[limpus]

That would be the logical thing to do...i'd put money on the pump being abit crook...and for the money to get a dyno run...you could cover around half the price of the pump already...just my opinion though...
