Turbo build improvement suggestions
Saturday, December 15, 2007 10:45 PM
well, i recently got a turbo z24 with the following mods on it
* T3/T4 Hybrid turbo
* Spearco intercooler
* Tial 38mm wastegate
* Apexi SAFC2
* Greddy B Spec2 boost controller
* 2.5 inch charge pipes
* GM S/C Reflash
* Ford Green Top injectors (440cc)
* Motor Mounts
* Cooling fan over-ride


My goal is to get it between 350 and 450whp in the next yr or so... i plan on doin it probably in stages...like rebuild it first and then switch the turbo up to a gt30. wut i want to know is that with the mods that i plan to do to it, wut range of whp would i be looking at?i plan to add, secret cams that i have, ho mani and 2.3 tb, the solid engine mount, solid lower mount, tranny mounts, 3"dp to 3"exhaust all with a fully rebuilt motor with a possible p&p on the head along with hptuners to sum this all up. With all of that what do u guys think i would be lookin at, becuase if i can reach my goal with the t3/t4 ill just keep it, but i know for sure that gt30s will get me in that range.

It has 440cc injectors and using the sc flash? How many lbs of boost is it running and whats your a/f look like?

If it doesnt have a wideband Im sure everyone on this site would recommend getting one before further modding.

im not sure of that as of right now.. i just got it, and im gonna be getting everything fixed before it starts running.. im looking more into what will help when i start the rebuild. but i was told that its at 7 psi. wideband is a definite.. ill be ordering that soon. i really wanna get rid of the safc2 and get hp tuners on it, but im gonna need another ecu right?

I do not see why you would need another ECU. Just have your ECU flashed using hptuners to the gm reflash and tweak the gm reflash as you go. The gm reflash was meant for 310cc injectors so you would need to make adjustments to it to run the 440cc injectors otherwise it will run really rich.

Is the car not in running condition now? If so do you know what is wrong with it?

If it has 440cc injectors on 7psi youd be dumping alot of fuel. Hpt can adjust to the fuel you need so youd be able to run the larger injectors without a problem, the flash is designed to use 310cc's.

If you want to run 7psi on the reflash, just swap in some smaller injectors and youll be good.

nah it was sitting for a yr, but my good friend is workin on gettin it running again. after that im gonna take it to my mechanic to make sure itll last me till at least tax income time so then i can drop the extra motor that im gonna build in it. I was told to mainly drain and refill fluids and gas and prime the fuel pump and oil pump to make sure everything is adequately lubricated and whatnot so i dont throw any rods or bearings. my mechanic just said change the fluids and it should be ok, but id rather take all precautions

from wut ive been reading it seemed to me that u cant use hpt on a gm reflashed ecu so i thought i would need another one.

well the previous owner already had 7 psi cuz his best time was a 14.1 and that seems like it was makin decent power. and the safc is supposed to only allow u to subtract fuel not add it so with the bigger injectors i think he took away wutever he needed to, but i definitely wanna get hpt on it.

You can modify the gm reflash with hpt on the ld9, not on the eco.
