i just got a hks racing suction intake on , and i put my boost controller on is it alright to run like this for a lil bit? i only turned the boost up to a steady 20-21 psi

 

im not sure if someone had already asked this question, if anyone did im sry.

 

I've been doing a lot including an intake, you'll be fine, just don't drive the car hard, but you might want to consider a tune, you'll be running lean

 

Don't do it, you'll loose way more than you will gain.

 

+1

 

my first mods were intake tbe and o2 w/o tune and it was running hard ... i just tuned after my 20g, tune is awesime for drivability but i love my intake on every car ive had ... pesonal preferance go where your tuner heart takes you...lol

 

Tuning is a must. In my opinion, I'd order all my parts little by little, and put it on all at once and get it tuned. That's what I'm going to do. I'm actually going to take my downpipe and testpipe off, go back to stock stuff, and wait until I get all my mods in.

 

With just the intake, you'd probably be fine. But, you've turned up the boost as well and leaned the car out even further. You're probably getting some knock from leaning out the mix and leaving the somewhat aggressive stock ignition timing on the top end. The car should protect itself, but get tuned soon.

 

That HKS intake removes all the engineering and tuning put into the air box, MAF, and about a half dozen maps by totally changing the path of air accross the sensor.

The ECU relys on the MAF signal in both open and closed loop but mostly open loop where it determines IPW.

Even after severly adjusting the fuel maps the tune is still off.

I know this because I have same intake and made the mistake of selling my old original one.

Sounds cool installed though

 

iight thanks guys , yea ill be getting it tuned soon, i havent been beating on it , just driving it normally, just got 2 get a few more parts, intercooler, lower intercooler pipe, and maybe upper intercooler pipe 2, would i need a reflash again if i get an upper pipe or no?

 

I don't know what your mods are but it seems like you're going the wrong route. Here's what you want to do:

Turbo back exhaust, intake, manual boost controller and lower intercooler piping. Don't put any of these parts on until you get your reflash. This list will get you the most power for your money. The stock intercooler is fine for your stock turbo.

 

i already have an buschur tbe installed , hks intake i have on , and a hallman bosst conroller , i wanna get a turbo xs front mount, nisei lower intercooler pipe

 

yes, its ok

 

Definetly get the car tuned. If you want to be safe and get the power out of the intake with the increased boost you should get it tuned.

 

OMG!!
