Good news mang. O-rings maybe?

*NemeGuero* · 05-16-2006, 12:27 PM

What injectors are you using? Did I miss that in this thread somewhere?

RBS14 · 05-16-2006, 04:25 PM

IT RUNS!!!! And it's fast as shit (to me)! I can't believe I stayed N/A for so long. haha It was fun but this is incredible! Gonna tune it in the next few days, I'll post up results.

The injectors are 655cc Touge Factory injectors. I pulled a ton of fuel out, put it all back together and it runs great (needs tuning obviously). I guess I didn't realize how much fuel 655cc's is. haha.

Damn...I wish. Hell, I'd just take the ITB setup because turbo seems so far down the line. Well, excluding when I finally get my WRX...

SpeedMonkeyInc · 05-16-2006, 04:36 PM

Great news! Plus a *little* extra fuel to clean out the insides! hahah

Sularus · 05-16-2006, 07:47 PM

That is awesome. Keep us updated. Can't wait to see further progress

*NemeGuero* · 05-16-2006, 09:07 PM

So what was the problem? Just untuned dumping out 655cc's of fuel?

Congrats either way!! I know it feels good baby.. oooohhh yeeaahh.

KA-T Fo' life! But damn, with ITBs? SEX!

RBS14 · 05-16-2006, 09:41 PM

yeah, just too much fuel. Also when I put the injectors in, somehow all of the (new) lower o-rings got cut and were leaking fuel like crazy. At one point I unplugged all of the injectors and it was still idling blowing an 11:1 afr. So I think that was what did it.

EchoOfSilence · 05-16-2006, 10:17 PM

Oh, lower o-ring failure is usually due to mis-installation. be careful next time, man!

OMG, FINALLY someone like me! (except I doubt you have an auto

)

PoorMans180SX · 05-17-2006, 10:25 AM

Whered you get the flanges for the itb's-to-manifold?

Dopefish · 05-17-2006, 11:02 AM

I'm still caught between the decision of BikiROM + T25 or MS and ITB's with the hopes of a T28 later on.....

sexy work, I love it!!

RBS14 · 05-17-2006, 02:19 PM

The 0-rings got all cut up because I didn't use any petroleum jelly on them when I installed them. And I've installed injectors multiple times before with jelly, I don't know what I was thinking.

I had the flanges machined here locally. The guy said that if anyone needs any more, let him know. He still has the file he wrote to cut them so I can have him cut another set whenever anyone needs them. If you are serious about a set, pm me.

wootwoot · 05-17-2006, 06:45 PM

How is working with the haltech? I'm in the market for a standalone right about now and was wondering how you felt about it beside "great". I'm trying to stay away from AEM with its ridiculous price tag and evilness to user friendly. Microtech is pretty nice but I want to be able to do boost control and last time I checked Microtech cannot control that. Motec is my other option but is also very pricey. Basically looking for a user friendly standalone.
How has your experience been so far dealing with it?
What about that radiator too

the240sxer95 · 05-17-2006, 08:27 PM

WOW, i up and leave this forum for a bit and look what happens!

! ka-t + itb's. i should sell my impreza now =\

If thats a 2002+, slide it over here

RBS14 · 05-17-2006, 10:06 PM

Wootwoot: I love the Haltech. I had a MegaSquirt before this and have messed with may other systems. I havn't found one that I like better yet. Especially for the price. The Motec software is more flexible with user definable load points and a couple other features, but is it really worth $5k? Not to me. The Haltech is very capable. I'm using it for boost control, fan control, Wideband control, Direct fire ignition, Full Sequential fuel injection, Anti-lag, and might hook up the turbo timer function soon. The software is also great. You can view and edit most of the tables in text format, 2d by load or rpm, and 3d. If nothing else, it's a great insurance policy for your motor. I see all these people dumping thousands and thousands of $$ into crazy engines then get a rom tune or safc. Alright, my novel is long enough. As you can tell, I love my E8.

wootwoot · 05-17-2006, 10:52 PM

What dealer do you recommend to purchase one? I'm picking up a 2nd gen rx7 and engine managment is obviously critical to its survival =)
Hm...ITB's on that?....
Cant wait to see some dyno's for your baby and some drag times. I applaud your ingenuity greatly!!

RBS14 · 05-18-2006, 12:30 AM

I'd recommend Speed Alliance. Talk with Warren. For a Rotary, E8's are perfect.

EchoOfSilence · 05-18-2006, 03:25 AM

ALS?..... you bastard.

biki not good enough, huh? Haltech must be great. How's the learning curve?

papa · 05-18-2006, 08:42 AM

looking good..must be fun

RBS14 · 05-18-2006, 09:01 AM

Haltech was very easy to pick up. Different format than I was used to from MS, but that's because the haltech software rocks the socks. Street tuning was really easy when it was n/a because it climbed throug the rpms slower. But now with the turbo I'll look at the afr output and the split second it takes me to look at the rpm gauge next to it I'm already a couple thousand rpms higher. So I need to get it on the dyno. Which is a good thing because tomorrow it's going on the dyno and we're gonna tune it!

drift freaq · 05-18-2006, 10:36 AM

Very cool Scott, congrats on one of the most original setups. Let us know what kinda ponies and torque that baby is putting out.

*NemeGuero* · 05-18-2006, 11:09 AM

You make me want ITBs....

alexchanman · 05-18-2006, 01:52 PM

this setup is so crazy, i thought ITB's by themselves were hardcore but with a turbo!?!?!?!?! you are the mad scientist among us zilvians.

slideways2004 · 05-18-2006, 03:15 PM

this is the kind of build i want to do, but know nothing about itb set-ups
