turbo management

afstevie68 · 04-01-2004, 11:38 AM

i got a great deal on a stock wrx turbo and intercooler...$325 shiped... im going to build my own turbo kit from scratched based on this ive made a few forum asking questions but from reading other forums im seeing rich/lean and managment will be my biggest problem

so i guess im asking...what do i need to manage it right, im going to get wrx injectors and ill only run about 3-4 psi for a little boost and for safety to my drivetrain do i need a super air flow controller by apexi..or maybe a boost controller? im having trouble finding the good turboin forums

Wow $325 shipped? Hopefully they were in near brand new condition. I got the stock turbo, intercooler, hoses/clamps/flanges, down pipe, two uppipes (gutted and non), intermediate, and intake piping for $240, all in great condition.

As far as managment goes, you can 1) do it the cheap way and get a hi flow fuel pump, Vortech RRFPR, and voltage clamp; which a lot of people do in this situation, or 2) spend a couple more bucks and get a piggyback, or 3) drop a thousand into a LinkECU.

I got the Greddy E-Manage piggyback, injector/ignition harness, and PC support for $315 shipped which will be fine for what I'm doing.

Oh and www.uniquemotorsports.com is your friend.

If I remember right, unless you are going to get a 99 Intake Manifold or WRX manifold, the WRX injectors wont work.

Can anyone elaberate on this?

He needs to port the manifold for them to work properly.

squirrelmasta · 04-01-2004, 03:22 PM

will he need fuel pump with thoses injectors?

afstevie68 · 04-02-2004, 02:36 PM

hmm, well then i wont be buying those injectors if i run low boost at like 3-4 psi will i even need injectors??

afstevie68 · 04-02-2004, 03:12 PM

well will the piggy back make sure i can get the right fuel to air mixture ratio for my boost level?

ScoobaruRS · 04-02-2004, 03:27 PM

I would get injectors and fuel pump. Stock RS injectors are what... 280 cc? WRX injectors are 420-440 IIRC.

afstevie68 · 04-03-2004, 12:59 AM

stock wrx injectos are 380 CC says rallispec

afstevie68 · 04-03-2004, 01:01 AM

well, i thought if i got new injectors enough for my power level which i figure with 3 psi ill be about 200 hp or so... that if i got a MAF sensor it would adjust my fuel to meet my air coming in.... so would this not be enough for my air/fuel mixture to be correct and for my car not to run rich or lean?
