Right,

Looking for suggestions anyone as to what to do next on the car.

I'm presently running the following (engine wise) on a MY 96 UK:

Full decat Jap Innovations system and d/p
HKS manifold
HKS EVC3 boost controller set to 1.5 bar
HKS FCD
HKS AFR
Blitz Induction kit
Lightened pulleys
Samco hoses
Turbosmart DV
Iridium plugs
Standard TD05 Turbo
Standard ECU
Standard internals
Intercooler waterspray

What would be the next step would you say?

a) ditch the standard ECU and get the thing properly mapped?
b) fit an FMIC?
c) fit bigger injectors and an uprated fuel pump?
d) something else altogether?

Would the injectors/FMIC be ok as mods on their own or would the bigger injectors mated to the standard ECU cause uneven fuelling without a proper remap?

Basically, due to the boost I'm running I want to put more fuel in/ richen up the mixture to keep EGTs down. But doing all the above would cost well over £3000 and I'm not up for that! Could I do one without the other or would it not really be worth the dosh.
Don't want to pay £3000 for 3 brake!

Also, If my present injectors/pump are working at their maximum NOW, if I fit an FMIC won't that have a tendency to make the car run leaner? As it can't put any more fuel in but the air charge will be denser? or is that wrong?

Suppose what I'm saying is, can I throw in more fuel without a mappable ECU without getting things running FAR too rich off boost?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Uprated fuel pump before owt else...

Then FMIC...

You can get more fuel in by changing the fuel pressure... this is what Im doing...

Modify your fuel rails, raise the inlet manifold and adapt the TD05 for straight entry. Once you 've done this let me know how you get on cos that's what I plan to do to mine

me too..

Cheers for that guys?

Mo, am I your intended guinea pig by any chance?

Rich, no I think David just offered

Seriously though any help or pointers would be great. I can see the idea behind it all but I haven't removed the manifold before and I'm a little apprehensive until I know exactly what to expect. I'm slowly working up to it!

I've tried a couple of guys from Santa Pod that I used to work with to see if they can help with the phenolic and I'm in the midst of ordering the fuel lines etc. I've got a spare TD05 that I'm going to send off to get machined.

I just want to make sure I've got everything covered before I get stuck in.

Tempted to remove the power steering aswell but I've gotta talk the other half round LOL

Dont worry ill be posting pictures..... I was even thinking about moving where the turbo sits

Wouuld Let me know where you get your phenol*** (cant spell!) from.. and how you get it cut??

Im also going to try nitrous and get it to run nitrous (25bhp) up to 3000rpm...

I'm trying to source it from the guys at Santa Pod although all they've offered me so far is one from a big block chevy I'll let you know when I get it sorted.

What are you going to do with the MAF?
