its all in the tuning.
the boricuas are rotary crazy AND like you said NOTHING is impossible but sometimes some things sound too good to be true, like a $3900 13B-REW swap which includes the labor to uninstall the stock motor in the FC, then the custom fabbing for the FD motor and possibly the tranny to sit in RIGHT and SAFELY(which we have yet to be updated on cuz the last time we saw it it seemed flimsy and not well reinforced) then the custom driveshaft and electronics to get it to run....my main concern is the labor.......because this is not going to be a 10 hr. swap that 1 person will do..... you need at least 2 people to do a swap and labor isn't cheap unless his shop is in Mexico.

Awesome swap. I wanted to try it, but a lot of people said it is difficult, now you are saying it is not too difficult, so I am giving it a thought now.

Thats pretty impressive. Knowing that its a Puerto Rican method makes sense, they seem to do a whole lot with very little and have amazing results.

I'm just suprised that fuel cut isn't showing its ugly head.

What does not connecting the TPS do?
I know it throws it into a sort of limp mode and makes it run super rich. But don't know what else it does

And what year ECU?


And when you mean its all in the tuning, you mean stock ecu tuning right, cause seems like you're not changing much

Thanks Bumblebee!

its not that nothing is impossible, its that he blatantly disagreed with himself in his own thread......meaning something isnt right somewhere.
but that something is in information, not his skills or labor. $3900 seems doable if you can find cheap enough frontclips, but I can't see there being much profit. :shrug:

There's no tuning with a stock ecu and upgraded fuel injectors and a fuel pump. Infact, the only reason it would work is because you're dumping such a stupid ammount of fuel in that it runs like **** anyway, in which case, there's no surprise there!

Look...
Nobody said it was "impossible".

If it works for you, fine.
I know guys who claim a 60-1, stock ECU, 1600 secondaries runs fine.
It just happens the increase in airflow uses all the 1600's dump in there.
The T70 isn't that much bigger in terms of turbo size.

Now, stop pushing your **** on all of us.
Like I said before...if it works for you, then great.
What you're doing is NOT recommended, due to the overly gross aspect of controlling the fuel delivery - there is none.
Some of us actually have enough money to do it properly - at least fuel computer or stand-alone EMS.
So don't tell us our Haltech / Microtech / MoTeC is a piece of **** cause YOUR method works.
I really don't give a **** if your method works or not; I'm concerned for MY motor and MY car, which I will spend the money I can afford to try and do MY mods properly the way *I* think it's reasonable.

We got enough crap in this thread.
Go look for a fight elsewhere.
If anything, you set-up has NOTHING to do with the original thread subject.

Lol they need to lock this thread, this **** is getting out of hand. We got people threatning other people, others posting setups and starting arguments that have nothing to do with the original thread. Then we had the rew vs. 13bt motor. And thank god not many if any, 3rd gen owners are here to bash on us for bashing on their motor. There is no more usefull information comming from this thread... I doubt anyone would care to use 1600cc inj with only the stock computer to run them...

(Edit...for sig violation once again...you're on thin ice...)

You have to upgrade the turbo port work ecu injectors and many more mods to get the same output in the 13bt. Well se ill be at the august import race at pacific raceways any one that doubts my swap will see it there will have video up.

I am going with a boost up ecu from japan. have a contact over there who gets them for me. My dyno guy loves them he made 390 on a 13b t with justmore boost and downpipe stock injectors.

He was just answering a couple of my questions. I'm just wondering how that thing is still running and how he's tricking the ECU into doing that.
I think its amazing and interesting
I would never go that route but its something good to know at least.

good luck with the new shop!!!

secretary is your friend.
one of my friends started a rotary shop, and him and his partner started getting over stressed and were doing all the business part themselves and had a couple guys helping with labor.
long story short, that shop lasted about a year

It is is neither amazing nor interesting. There's nothing clever about drowning an engine with fuel. It will kill detonation and keep the motor alive, but it will be making far less power (and using far more fuel) than it would it is had some form of fuel control.

BUMBLEBEE7, you're right in saying "it's all about tuning", but this statement does not apply to your car at all.

i think the amazing part is that he doesnt hit fuel cut, like ive been asking.


still interested in knowing what all is going on with the car/ecu

Either boost is below 8.6psi or he has a FCD. What's amazing about either of those?

There's no rocket science here. Bigger injectors = tonnes of fuel. The ECU doesn't know what injectors are wired into it, it just reads the inputs and does what it was programmed to do. It's crude and inefficient, but there's no reason why it wouldn't actually work.

he didnt list an FCD so i was assuming maybe hes running without



and a FCD is not the end all be all for fuel cut, they can still hit cut if it just tricks it into thinking its lower boost unless its a locking FCD
