sticky this

 

when do you need to worry about the internals? i read that stock rods and pistons are weak.

 

everyday 7psi is fine, after 7psi would start forging, but some have run 10psi comfortably

 

12 psi on stock motor

would an evo 8 turbo and i/c work to turbo the car im geting a good deal on it

 

two RA running 9.5 psi daily...not any problems so FAR...

 

Nice can you get some vids??

 

Very close, the MAF, stands for MASS AIR FLOW

Oh and heres an interesting tidbit on those, if slightly off topic, never use MAF sensor cleaner on Mitsubishi MAF's. I dont know why. The lastr can I bought specifically listed only the Mits as a definate DO NOT USE. Perhaps it eats the plastic. I got dumb and sprayed mine before reading the can, and lost about 2-3 mpg. SOooooo, I'd suggest not doing it.

 

This is the set up im going for now. Custom manifold, evo9 turbo and i/c. Still putting the parts together.

 

Yeah that seems to be the best and easy way as far as hardware goes... The trick will be fuel management...

 

As for me ill be using the RRM turbo piggyback and get it tuned for my set up specifically with the hardware cd. Hopefully that will do the trick. We will see.

Will the timing control device add any benefits? Maybe with the AEM cam gear.

 

Do you know of a tuner that feels comfortable with the splitsecond software? That's been my problem most of the tuners I talk to suggest a standalone / haltech etc.

 

in tx they tune splitsecond ecu ill be there soon and see whats good

 

in Puerto Rico friends of mine are using Micro Tech and Megasquirt....according to a PR forum i was reading they are really similar in a lot of specs and the Megasquirt is way cheaper...but honesty i'm just running an FMU...BUT the downside of the FMU is that my MPG is not the best and the A/R is @ 10.2 which is too rich...but there hasn't been any issue with the car EXCEPT for the idle which was having some trouble...the car was shutting off, or the revs went down to 2 o 3 hundred RPM or it randomly just revs itself up to 1500 RPM...and the issue was that the throttle was extremely dirty and air just coudn't pass through it... ...now NO issues so far...planning on moving the battery to the trunk, bigger I/C, voltage stabilizer, AEM CAM GEAR, and wiseco forge pistons with eagle rods...this last one coming on december...
