Hi Guys (and Gabby!)

I will changing out some parts on the SX soon ,and would like to know if iam on the right track here.

Iam not planning to be the fastest here, just tired of how little kick it has now.

I have 4x FC3S Turbo Injectors floating around.(will be cleaned etc etc)I have an Safari Aftermarket Turbo on (Possible T2.5 or T28 (Not sure on the specs,will have to remove it to check.)Aftermarket Intercooler ( Ebay type) << To PurchaseBov << To PurchaseDictator Fully Programable engine management << to purchase

Iam thinking of running 14 PSI of boost on the turbo.(Iam confident the Turbo will handle it,as it is a Diesel turbo.)

Will the Injectors be big enough?

Anything else i should be looking at?

Thanks for reading.

Karis

Sounds pretty decent to me though I'm not really familiar with that engine management. Looks like you already have an exhaust (from your sig) so you should be set.

may need new water lines and such for the turbo, depending on how it is setup...... also depends on flange, if the stock manifold will work or not.

not familiar with the tuning software either...... but sounds pretty good list of toys.

Depends on the injectors. Were the 4 off the same car? Was the car stock? 13B-REW's have 2 different sized injectors, 2x 550cc and 2x 850cc.

The 13BT however, came with 4x 550cc injectors. If the car had a standard FC3S Turbo motor, then you are all good.

Thanks for the replies.

The engine the injectors came from is a stock 13B Turbo FC3S. 4x550cc.

The mentioned Turbo is allready on the CA18 now,and it works quite good at 7PSI.But iam sure it will be loads better at 14 PSI

The exhaust is custom yes,allthough not very big. as i recall its 2.25" ID. I think i`ll go for something bigger later on.

The management is locally developed.I also have a tuner that is a Wizard on it with the CA18 engine.

Iam aiming for aprox 200-220 flywheel hp.I dont need any more than that.

:D
