Basically I'm just getting back into working on 7's. I've got an '87 TII with a fresh motor (4k), K&N, and exhaust. I am going to be getting $2000 shortly and I'm wondering... What is the best way to make my car fast without porting (for now). Please give me a list of items and perhaps places to get them. I want to keep it fairly quiet and definately smog legal (CA). Thanks

 

Lightweight flywheel will increase your roll.

Upgrade your turbo and fuel system along with a fuel controller.

Loose some pounds.

Add a racing beat cat back.

Upgrade your clutch.

All the engine to breathe with an intake.

Don't forget the FCD!

Also, a boost controller for safety.

 

I would wait for the Rtek 2.0 chip. add two 720cc injectors, Fuel controller and boost controller and FMIC.

 

Doesn't the Rtek7 come with a FCD? When will the 2.0 be coming out, 1.5 just recently came out? Where can I get 720cc injectors? By fuel controller do you mean SAFC? Where can I get a boost controller? Would a Volvo FMIC setup be ok for now? What kind of fuel pump and turbo upgrades would be best?

 

all answers can be found here http://fc3spro.com/

BTw: The rtek7 does include a built in FCD and Unflood feature.

 

Thanks
BTW... the 1.0 has the unflood feature. The 1.5 doesn't.

 

that is correct

 

sorry to hi jack the thread but, wat is a rtek and wat does it do?

So here's what I'm thinking so far:
>SAFC...$200-300
>Rtek1.5or 2.0(when it comes out)...$100
>Fuel pump...$80
>Injectors (680cc)...free
>Boost controller...???
>FMIC...???

Will the volvo setup work for now? What kind of boost controller is suggested? Will the stock BOV be ok or should I upgrade? Thanks

 

You need a boost controller..i like the profec b and upgrade the bov

 

But what about the FMIC? Will a Volvo front mount work for now?

 

I think people more often go for the NPR intercooler. Remember an intercooler is used to bring down intake temps. I bet the volvo fmic is better then the stocker due to the fact that it will not get heat soaked as much.

 

Anyone know if a FMIC an be routed while keeping ALL of the goodies in the car, ie still having A/C and Power Steering? I have a Starion intercooler ready to go, I just can't find a good spot to route the IC....

 

Yeah, any intercooler can be routed like that.
