What will limit me first? V3 STI Remap
Hi All,
My V3 STI GF8 is getting an Andy Carr ESL remap at Autotecnica next month and I wanted to see what people's thoughts were on my spec and what might be easy upgrades to give me more performance from the remap. I plan to go MAFless. Engine wise I currently have; -EJ207 2 litre shortblock, V3 STI Heads -Harvey Trick Up-pipe -Samco turbo inlet pipe -Forge Recirculating DV -Walbro 255 to be installed -Standard VF23 Turbo -Standard Yellow injectors (believe these are 440cc) -Standard air box with Cosworth panel filter -3in sports catted exhaust to be installed I am not chasing a power figure but I do want as much torque as possible from the standard turbo. What torque/power would you expect this setup to give me? and could I change anything above to eek out a little more performance without breaking the bank? (larger injectors for example?) Your thoughts would be appreciated :top: |
Turbo and possibly injectors should get 320/330

ported headers always helps with spool. 3 port boost solenoid helps with better boost control also. full decat will see the best gains as it really lets the engine breathe.

i'd be inclined to add a fuel pressure regulator and a dump valve to your setup along with a newer map sensor (fitted with the ECU).
The older map sensors are limited to 1.2bar max - the newer one will read up to 1.7bar so means you can run a little more boost mid-range to get the most out of it. |

the only map sensor that "fits" is the original one, however newage ones and 97/98 ones and even after market ones all follow the same setup - 3 wires and 1 vac hose so fitting isn't a big deal.
if your buying a 2nd hand sensor, ask the seller if they can include the loom/harness fitting and a few inches of wiring to attach to your car. For the fuel reg, any of the big brand names will do fine - ebay ones tend to be fakes/bad copies and will leak or randomly pack in leaving you without fuel at a time that you really need fuel so best avoided. |

I'll avoid ebay fakes, I don't fancy fuel squirting about in my engine bay! |

That makes sense, most of the MAP units I have been looking at seem to be a circuit board/sensor so I guess I could DIY it in, I've seen a guide on here.

I’ll double check mate and let you know. I have 314 without an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator- so many you can pull a couple extra horses out of her |
