Will FD Injectors Fit A FC ??/

[bnaellis]

what have i started ... Ekkk

hummmmmm looks like this could be a none starter then ... shame as i had plans

i didnt realise it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to squeeze power out of an FC

just to see if i can sort this thread out .. should be fun

1 - i have seen Microtechs for about $800 mark ( thats AUS dollar so under £400 GBP ) - OK apexi is cheaper - but how much to fit the thing and how much damage do you do to the wiring ?

2 - chris - you MIGHT have the manifold and turbo - so what else would i need ? - i take it that i would need a microtech to run all this and bigger injectors ?

3 - if its sooo hard to get power out of an FC - why are sooo many people trying to do it ( ant , trex etc.. )

4 - yeah chris - i should have bought your injectors , microtech etc...

5 - when i said that i can remove and sell stuff - thats prob when the car is destined for the big garage in the sky !! LOL

hummmm well thats pretty much cover what i was thinking

feel all sad now ... too many hurdles for the simpliest of things

Maybe the FD is the way forward - but i have to buy and then buy bits for it - i already have the FC sat here

like i said - still surprised that you cant get 250 RW-BHP out of an FC without spending £10000000000000000
Stu ...going to bed now and sulking

LOL

Stu I have a couple hundred more miles to do before my fc engine has run in.
I had an apexi fitted the ap engineering one for the turboII I can\'t remember now as it was a while ago but I think I only paid about 600 quid all in for it.
Weather permitting it will be mapped within the next week.
I see no reason not to get good power from an fc so many others have.
You can do things on a budget by sorting alot of stuff yourself, just make sure you take your time, check and double check. Good things come to those who wait. I hope to see 400bhp from my turboII, running less than 16psi

your all making me feel better now chaps

the plan at the mo is

1 - MOT
2 - Clutch
3 - decided on FMIC or Water Injection ( i like the idea of water to be honest )
4 - Microtech

unless a cheap tubbie appears ( cough GRIZZLY cough )

like i said - dont want MAMMOTH figures - 250 at the wheels would be very nice - but thats over 300 at the fly .. ekkk

Stu

[sadgoth]

not wanting to make u feel down agaign Stu, but I\'m only after 250-270 atw and I\'m running a 1/2 bridge!

Still I have plans for more than that and I\'ve had the engine work done with the long term project in mind.

[grinder]

humm thats true i suppose mark

i reckon mine is putting out about 195 at the wheels at the mo - so maybe another 30 bhp would be nice

i suppose that should be do able - sub 250 BHP

you MUST be close to that figure mark with the mods you have ??

with the stock ECU, stock IC and stock turbo but the 1/2 bridge, induction kit and decat I managed 198 at the fly! (max power was acheived at 4800 rpm!  :eek

As it is still out of action after I blew up the ingition module and it is being fixed in aus at the mo, I have no idea what I am running at the mo. Remember I have no boost control and stock fueling at the moment.

[grinder]

im sure brett got 196 at the wheels

a stock TII is 202 at the fly - so how come you lost power with the port and the decat ... very strange

unless you had a lot of heat soak

[sadgoth]

well, I suspect the fact the the bridge was bringing the power in too early and the turbo was really struggling to cope with the increase in flow. (oh yes and that was a max boost of 8psi at 2800rpm dropping to 6psi at 4800 when it hit 198bhp)

[grinder]

humm yeah i picture that being a problem !

the max boost at 2.8K is pretty handy though

[sadgoth]

handy? interesting is a better word! Also makes for thirsty and rapid progress in town!
