ok I will be doing my turbo soon and I was thinkin about sources for the feed for the turbo...I know I can get a front cover from a TII and I know Cake took a feed outta the oil cooler. My buddy and I were thinkin. Could we get a relocation kit for the oil filter and take a feed from there?? or would it be to hot and if so can we put a super small cooler from like a bike inbetween the filter and turbo?? Or would that be robbing the engine?? I'm planning on dumping it in the pan like Cake did..thx

 

you could just get an aftermarket oil filter pedestal that has tapped holes on the pressure side. they usually come with 2 feed ports, 1 for a turbo feed and the second for a aftermarket and more accurate oil pressure or temp gauge. I have a new RB pedestal that I'm not using, if you want it give me an offer.

 

i thought about that also im just kinda "exploring" my choices

 

o yeah while im here for fm i was gonna do what cake did with a s-afc but som1 said it wont work with a 1st gen 13b??? and if it doesnt work how hard is it to install a megasquirt and put maps on it ??

 

on my 6 port setup, I tapped the head of one of the oil cooler banjo bolts and installed appropriate fittings, seems to work fairly well

 

also thought about doing that...so anyone have any input on the megasuirt?

If you have to ask about a Megasquirt, don't do it. It requires siginficant DIY work and electronics knowledge.

 

electronics isnt a big deal i just wondered how bad it was as far as making adjustments...and Aaron I have read ur site time and time again love it but som1 said i couldnt use the S-AFC on my 1st gen gsl-se 13b...is that true?? many people also say "thats just a band aid" ...help?

 

The link I just posted is new. Only added it on Tuesday.

The Megasquirt is a joy to tune. It's getting it to work in the first place that's a royal pain in the butt.

As far as I know, the S-AFC will not work on the GSL-SE EFI system because the AFM is referenced by 12V. The S-AFC needs 5V.

 

ok so what should i do in place of that?????

 

If you want to be crude, bigger secondaries and a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. If you want to do things properly, full standalone.

 

BTW replaceing the front cover is not for the oil feed, it is for the return....

FYI.

 

full standalone $$$$$ i dont plan on boosting over 8psi.. a while back i heard somthing about som1 using a TII ecu and moving around some wires, would that work?? and thx for correcting me RRTEC.

 

Aaron when u say that the AFM is referenced by 12V and the S-AFC needs 5V, could i put an AMF from a 2nd gen??? or is that not what ur talking about??

 

No. The reference voltage is provided by the ECU. To use the S-AFC, you would have to convert to S4 or S5 EFI.

 

ok so i think im gonna go with megasquirt for money! ive heard a ton of crap but then again ive heard good things??? what do u guys think? how hard would it be just 2 tune it?

 

Looking at a project from primarily a cost standpoint is a sure way to make it fail.

The Megasquirt is a capable ECU, but it requires KNOWLEDGE and SKILL to get going. Read the Megasquirt FAQ in the 'Squirt section and then you will have a better idea of what is required.

Assuming you know how to tune, the actual tuning of the 'Squirt is a joy. Very straightforward.
