i need help with several things... my setup is 1989 Ka24eT -- T3 .48/.60, bov, mbc, SAFC II (will need help tuning), BUT HAVE Ca18det 370cc (when needed), Wablro 255 (if needed at 7psi)1) timing (if just retarding, how many degrees at 7psi?)2) fuel setup (when do i need 255?) 3) injectors (when do stock run out?)4) MAf (when maxed?)5) Where should i mount the turbo on the JGS manifold??

Thats about it for now...if you can help with any or all I would definately appreciate it...TIA

1) run 1 step colder plugs,2) go ahead and put 255 in now3) dont use stock, use the 370's4) ~10psi but the SAFC will tell you when you are close to maxing it

what about the actual timing? do i leave alone or retard 1/2 a degree for every psi?? I will put the pump and injectors in...with my setup i need to know when i put the injectors in if i need some type of resistor for the different amount of power going to the injectors...ive heard that i need something but havent found anyone doing anything...suggestion?

i dont know anything about the CA injectors, but if they're sidefeed, they should just drop in.

For timing, if you want to be safe, just retard it 2 degrees total. That should be fine for 7psi.

Im running stock timing and 12psi on 93 octane with 1 step colder plugs

ill do the 2 degrees just to be safe...i have the ka24e so i cant use side feed..mine are CA top feed...SR are for side feed...what do the injectors power rate in (volts? watts? ohms?)

if anyone knows the ratings for CA18DET 370cc and KA24E 270cc and if theres something i need to equal out the difference if there is any...thanks
