any comments about this setup. is everything im getting needed or am i missing anything

[adrianfromthecastle]

z32 fuel filter, walbro 255 pump, exedy clutch

[esahuque]

sorry, forgot to mention that i allready have a walbro 255 pump, my stock one went out about a year ago. and about the clutch. im ordering one right after the turbo. so you think its a good setup?

[C-Kwik]

How are you planning to adjust for the Z32 MAF?

this kit comes with a Fuel/Timing Management System pre programmed

[Jookmasta]

um what is this fuel/timing management system?

[esahuque]

dont know yet, emailed them and asked, waiting on reply

[esahuque]

well. thanks for all the info , ill be posting pics as soon as the parts start coming in.

[hannibal]

I'd run from a kit that comes with 'fuel/ignition mgmt'. That is the most vague description ever. Did you already buy this without hearing their answer???

[esahuque]

No, waiting on their reply first. i asked what type of fuel/timming system, if it was a bottom or top mount mani and a few other things like turbo trim and stuff. this is the turbonetics kit and every where i looked at this kit it listed the same info,jegs, treadstoneperformance, summt. and even turbonetics home site them selfs. EPS just happened to have the cheapest price. a few of my friends have turbonetics turbos on thier cars and they run great.

I say get a revhard mani t3/t4 turbo custom piping, z32mafs, deastchwerks 555cc injectors, and enthalpy ecu tune.

[babowc]

well wow.for 4.5g you can piece you a REAL good kit and possibly get a motor rebuild..lol..

jgs mani, t3/t4, cheapo fmic, piping, z32maf, 550?inj, ecu tune, walbro, misc lines.probably still not come upto 2g right there..250, 600, 250, 130, 200, 100, 100, 500

then you can get a decent rebuild.. just internals w.o much work DIY, 400pistons, 500 rods..

meh i dunno.4.5 is ALOT for a "kit"

[esahuque]

the kits not 4500.00 its 3386.40. with all the misc, parts, t.t, gauges, bc, new exhaus, battery relocation, ect..... i fig it would run about 4500.00 complete sys. even IAP setup runs 3600 and you still need injectors fuel/timming mngm and all the other misc parts that make it work. at least this sys comes with injectors and f/t mngm. but if its not a good setup ill keep looking around. maybe ill go with IAP, injectors and ecu tuned.

[esahuque]

OK. so i'm just going to peace together my own turbo along with a enthalpy ecu tune. i emailed enthalpy but i'm sure hes busy so maybe someone else can answer this.I have an S14, do i need to get an S13 ecu for him to tune......... yeah i know

[WDRacing]

So what happened with the kit? Did they email you back with any details?

[esahuque]

nope. no reply yet, i'm just going to build it my self. i can put the WHOLE thing together for about 3k. can you answer the Q about the enthalpy ecu i posted above. thanks

[hannibal]

You need an S13 ECU. Look under the pricing section at the bottom.http://www.rs-enthalpy.com/ecu.htm

Brian, youre not a big fan of reflashed ECU, are you? Ive only heard you mention SAFC and standalones like Megasquirt.

[esahuque]

thats going to be fun to find around here, the fact that i live 10 miles outside New Orleans. Just about every car ether got flooded or crushed . guess ill have to buy one via net. thanks for everyones help.

[esahuque]

one more Q, can i fab a turbo inlet pipe out my old cold air intake or should i buy one,and where do i get one. i searched and cant find anything on that subject....

[esahuque]

this pipe right here-----

[hannibal]

Yep you can. Just make sure youre MAF adapter and turbo inlet fit the pipe. You can use transition hose couplers on the inlet. I guess you can use one at the MAF, but ive never seen that.

[Jookmasta]

will need to get some odd bends of pipe and fab it up urself..........could also get a muffler shop to do it for u. that's the easiest part of the piping IMO.

[WDRacing]

Its not that I don't like the ECU flash. Its just that I can't tune it at all. So it won't be whats best for my car. With the SAFCII and MSD BTM combo, I can do whatever I want. MSII or SDS is where my money is going for standalones. MSII is cheap cheap, SDS is mid level but I am familiar with the tuning of it. Its also similar to MSII as far as ease of install.

My next project gets SDS, I honestly haven't read enough about the MSII though to make a better choice at this time.
