Sound safe to you??

Good evening chaps im kind of a noob here and SLOWLY learning a little about these cars!

I have got myself a few bits an i dont really want to blow up my engine, not just yet anyway!
*an ebay special turbo back exhaust
*walbro fuel pump
*k&n drop in panel filter
*apexi safc (i have a fair idea how to use!)
*FCD
*prosport amber boost gauge
and i plan on adding an innovotive wideband kit to the mix.

The car hasnt been driven for about a year and im getting it ready for next year, So plenty of time, Which is good as it needs plenty of work, welding brakes paint ect

Do i need to port the w/g? (dont really want to take the turbo off)
Do i need bigger injectors?
Also do i need a boost controller?

Im going to do a full 60k tune up and get new tyres, rad hoses and got a braided clutch line.

Have i missed anything critical or any opinions on additions to my list would be great!

Many thanks guys,
Mark:Thumbs-up

to be honest with that spec - you might get away with the stock ECU and the FCD

it wont be running mega power that would need injectors etc..

BUT you can tune the car with the SAFC and it will support 720cc secondaries ( i have a SAFC and did some research - just never fitted the thing ! )

Hi and welcome ! :cheers
 
Spec seems good.
 
Depending on how free flowing the K&N filter is, and the exhaust is, you may get a little boost creep.  If you do much more to the intake of the turbo you will definitely get boost creep so you\'ll need to port the wastegate at that stage to play it safe.
 
Boost Controller - not a bad idea - and then you\'ll have to use the FCD with that setup.  I am not a great fan of FCD\'s as they basically tell the ECU that the boost is 8psi when it can be that much higher - consequently fuelling will be lower than it should be.  You can adjust this with your SAFC - but as I understand it they modify the airflow signal and so also adjust the timing.
 
 
A wideband is a worthwhile addition to your setup - the Innovate one is a good choice.
 
You can probably expect mid to high 200\'s with that lot.

has the engine been used alot? I\'d just run it a bit before upping the boost.
You can take the boost up to 0.9 bar before you\'ll need new injectors. Though i\'d still make sure the fuel system is all good, and replace all the filters.

not sure what the apexi does? is it a piggy back fuel computer? if so, i\'d probably look into a chipped ecu with a map for 0.9 bar of boost, these usually include getting rid of the fuel cut so you wont need an FCD.

also make sure the walbro is real, heard a few reports about dodgy ones.

other than that, welcome to the club! sounds like you\'re going about stuff the right way

just to add.... where are the pics

[1990_fc3s_t2]
