After spending shed loads on complete exhaust systems, induction kit, dump valve, boost controller, I'm now having a TEK 3.
It's said to run with 1.25/1.28 bar boost with standard turbo for MY02 WRx, but upto 1.35 bar for the STi. If I fit a bigger turbo (same size or bigger than the STi), what's the max boost I can use with the standard fuel system or will a higher pressure pump be required? Any ideas? |
Boost capability depends on many factors:
Turbo Intercooler Engine internals Exhaust Clutch and gearbox issues Fuel type Typical usage ?track Fuel pump Fuel pressure regulator type and setting Injector size Intended richness of fuel mixture Where abouts in the rev range you want the boost What gauges you have to monitor Whether you are using water injection Suggest you discuss with your mapper what you are wanting to achieve and take things from there. |
Thanks John. I think I'll have to get the car re-mapped on the rollers when I fit the bigger turbo. The car already has a complete non-standard exhaust system (inc manifold), induction kit, dump valve and will have larger intercooler/waterspray shortly. ScoobySport will be sending me the SSTEK3 map for 'highly' modified cars as soon as they read the email I sent today.
