Beginnings of a turbo project- a few questions
When i say beginnings I mean i have been researching this for almost 6 months in my spare time, and i have a huge compendium of links and magazine articles etc, but sometimes its difficult to get the straight forward answers i want.
Before i start anything, Planned mods in order of install:
BRAKES
BBK brake kit with some 12'' rotors
new 18''rims to house them
SUSPENSION
whiteline FSB+RSB
Ultrapro Racing Front upper and lower brace
Kyb strut mounts
munroe gt gas struts
King low springs
ENGINE AND FUEL PREP
Battery Relocate
Return fuel system
Jims fuel line mod
Walbro fuel pump
Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
Smaller racing radiator or new slim fans dependiing on what happens with the IC
New flywheel and clutch (fidanza)
New knock sensor
New maf sensor
Supra Injectors
New intake camshafts off the 2mz
ECU (I have questions about this)
Cold spark plugs (denso)
Raise rev limiter to 7000/7500 rpm(more questions)
TURBO SETUP
Custom manifold
Intercooler (PWR)
Tapped oil pan
Wastegate (hks?)
Blow off valve (hks?)
New guages (autometer)
Boost controller (greddy?)
Heat sheild
T60 or T3/T4 turbo(not researched, more questions)
UNCOMFIRMED
Meth injection(Pro's/Con's anyone?, still have to research if its legal in my country on the road)
So my questions are...
FMIC sounds great, but how is it done, do we even have room?
Meth injection, now i understand it i think its a great way to ease compression, but how is it mounted? Does it cause any damage?
Does anyone here know about the 2mz camshafts/done the mod/done something similar? (I found out via gabes facebook page)
If i want to lift the rev limit, even that little bit, am i going to need new valve springs?
What ECU do people use, some people on TN have said emanage ultimate, some say AEM, some say SAFCII and even some say emanage blue?
What turbos have people used in the past? Im looking for not too much low end boost as we struggle to lay down the power at stock but obviously too big and i cant spool it properly and it's wasted.
Hksboost has been my big inspiration, as well as DatSRBoi(even though he is SC i like his mod list)
Would limit boost to 8psi, i dont want to have to do forged internals etc.
Hksboost has a T60 but i would have thought it was mostly going to waste at 8psi in our engines.
A lot of you guys have been around the block and seen what others have done, so if you think of something thats not on there let me know.
I'm sorry if I'm bringing this back up again like every other noob, but i have searched and i have learned a lot, but i still have a few questions left...
Thanks for your patience
