If you going to be spending that much for HP you should honestly just get a good tune, nothing off the shelf (chips etc..)Z31toZ32 wrote: The exu you can just send it to wolf with your mods and he'll program it for your application. Wollah, 500 hp.
Agreed, you should have plenty for what you want to do. I only put in 740cc because they came with the rail package I bought.Z32TT wrote:If you have 550's already then just keep them.
I completely understand this emotion. I started out with a stock TT and within months I spent double the budget I had for it. It's very easy to do. The 2JZ is one sweet motor and I could understand why someone would ponder putting one in any car. So, it's easy to bounce around different configurations, especially when you haven't made up your mind.LIBRILZ wrote:It seems as though you have no direction and never know what you want to to do. First it was buy a TT engine and gradually build it, then it was a 2jz swap, now this.
Like marty said its easy to bounce around and some people know exactly what they want. I had several ideas i went from single set up, to building a separate tt motor to 2jz. I researched each idea and realized all of those projects weren't the best thing to do so i finally settled on this.LIBRILZ wrote:It seems as though you have no direction and never know what you want to to do.

not to disagree with you, marty1mc, because i think you're a pretty smart guy...but 740cc's, for sure.marty1mc wrote:Agreed, you should have plenty for what you want to do.

I would also go with BB turbos. I bought the Sport 500's because I got them brand new for about $1000 cheaper than retail plus no cores. I would have gone with BB's if I hadn't. GT675's will give you some challenges with fitment. They are a very tight squeeze, but they do fit eventually. I would probably settle in with the sport 525's. You will have plenty to get 450rwhp.
Also, I would think very carefully about any FMIC. The more power you make, the more heat it's going to generate. I have seen way too many threads about cooling issues after installing an FMIC. I would either get Ash's massives, or an aftermarket SMIC to help with cooling the compressed air.
Oh, I agree with that. The new 555cc injectors are now labeled 615cc. My statement was simply related to injector flow capacity. But since he already has 550cc injectors, it doesn't cost anything to see how long they last. I would have bought 615cc injectors for my setup if I didn't get 740cc as part of the package.vulcanrush wrote:not to disagree with you, marty1mc, because i think you're a pretty smart guy...but 740cc's, for sure.
a lot of 555's are the old-school ones, which don't handle ethanol that great.
as for the fmic, i like the smic's too, and it's funny you bring up the a-spec massives and fitment, they're a pita to get to fit.
have you gotten your beautiful car dyno-ed, marty?marty1mc wrote:

However, the harness can be modified to help improve the longevity of the old pintel injectors. There is a write-up on JWT's website about it. The main reason they are failing is due to the old 90-93 harnesses and the constant 12v on the injectors even when the ignition is off. By modding the harness, the 12v can be applied only when the ignition is on. That keeps the corrosion down with Ethanol fuels.
No, I haven't yet. I probably won't until spring. I have a couple of projects in front of me right now. I have to swap a motor on an 91 Integra for my son and help my daughter replace the convertible top on her S2000. So, that is going to keep me busy for the next month or so...vulcanrush wrote:have you gotten your beautiful car dyno-ed, marty?

I need to look up this harness mod. The injectors on my car were replaced <1 year ago and I want them to last as long as possible...Sounds like a simple fix - I like it!marty1mc wrote: However, the harness can be modified to help improve the longevity of the old pintel injectors.

The majority of the people that cry cooling issues when you mention FMIC have never experienced this, nor have an FMIC on their car. I can tell you first hand- from running 5 years on a stock rad (and I don't baby the car) with an FMIC (actually on the stock rad there were two different FMICs) and have never had my temp gauge go above half way. Even checked coolant temps through conzult with a friend who at the time had a stock rad and upgraded SMICs, and I was within 3 degrees of him. Ultimately it's your choice bro, what's your personal preference. If you have an upgraded rad (Which I would suggest whether you go FMIC or SMIC's) then you won't have any problems regardless. In theory you do get a little bit more lag out of an FMIC, but it also gives you a greater surface area exposed to moving air and over all volume than 90% of the SMIC's out there (i.e. better thermal efficiency). For the power goals you want there is no need for a custom FMIC like mine, you could make do just fine with an ebay one, or side mounts. You don't even need 2.5" piping, although it definitely would give a little extra for ya. In the end, get what you want. I know about 5 other guys in MD running FMIC's (greddy and ebay)- and even on 90+ degree days boosting the car on 3 hour drives we never have cooling issues.marty1mc wrote: Also, I would think very carefully about any FMIC.

Ive been looking through ads for a while and would like to know if any of you have heard good or bad things.
garret gt28r's
Holset H1E 60 trim
Hks 2530
Godspeed GSP-600 T28(not likely ill get those)
garret gt2860rs disc potato
Im real interested in the holset since ive heard good things about them and there quality and they are priced pretty well.
