Boost Management / ECU Question? - 16PSI Stock Twins 4x 850cc Injectors
Can anyone review this setup and let me know if I am overlooking any key support modification that must be in place to run 16PSI on the stock twin turbos?
Intake Mods: APEXi Ram Air Intake ARC Stock Mount Intercooler Upgrade (Small) Exhaust Mods: Downpipe - No pre-cat Racing Beat Cat Back Exhaust Note: OEM Midpipe w/ Main Catalytic Converter is still in place. Fuel System Mods: 850cc Injectors x4 Supra TT Fuel Pump 280 lph Cooling Mods: Koyo Radiator ECU/Boost Management Mods: APEXi Power FC ECU ?????????????????? Thanks for the help!!!!!! |
I don't have direct experience with it, but I would think the stock main cat would be quite a restriction at those boost/flow levels.
I'd also say that the 4x 850cc injectors won't provide enough fuel as well. I have the same setup and when I'm at 13lbs on the track (road course) I regularly see peaks of 85% duty cycle. |

You will be fine with those injectors.
The question is: Do you really want to run 16 psi on your stock twins? 1. They won't be efficient at that level. 2. They will run really hot at that level. 3. They will wear out quickly at that level. |

Run 13 psi, 14 when you want to push it. 15+ your better off with a boosted octane 93 < ?

Will the PFC be sufficient for boost management???? |

+1, if you are going to be running 15+psi going to the bnr twin turbos or a small single.

850 primaries on a PFC will require a lot of tuning to have decent AFR's under low load and idle.

rich i believe

Does anyone know where I could track down a good "base" map for running 850's all around?

hmm listen to dave a kdr who has been buuilding rotarys when these people were in diapers or listen to some jackass on the internet who probably doesnt even have a rotary.

Just do a search in the Power FC forum, I'm not pulling this out of my ass. If you want the car to run decently you can go ahead and throw the PFC basemap out the window if you go 850 primaries. I'm sure KDR can tune it, but they will run into the same limitations that everyone else does, namely that the PFC will not respond when you try to lean out the idle beyond a certain point. To the OP, I would recommend you go 550/1680 if you have the money for the new fuel rail (and might as well get an FPR too), or 550/1300. You will probably end up putting in 1680 secondary's anyways if you ever go single turbo. If you do 550/1300 you could get away with relatively simple modifications to the PFC basemap. Avoid bigger primaries of you can. 850/850 is just the cheap route for people who can't afford 550/1680. |
wasnt talking about u

I hope you were not talking about me either???

no not u adam ore anyone...just saying the op has daves advice yet wants to check with the boy racers of rx7club.com.

so have you decided exactly what boost you want to run? if it's more than 14, i would look into a twin power. but, you might be fine. every car is different.

I like to double check things out in advance before I commit to changes/installation. It's not that I don't trust him, just that he always seems to have a lot on his mind. I didn't think RX7Club was filled with boy racers. I have read some very intelligent helpful info on RX7Club.
and thats that..it was just a general statement based on my own experience of running this boost for a very long time. everycar is different. if you get a good tune, use top of the line bolt on parts meaning a good intercooler not some ebay crap, dave does ther work, and monitor your temps i am willing to bet money that you too will enjoy a very streetable and very fast stock twin fd for a very long time. these cars are fun as shit in a maxed out stock twin form with awesome response and can eat up 03 z06s like nothing...leave em! |

Funny thing is, today when I asked Dave about it he did say the turbos won't last as long running 16PSU. To play it safe, he said, 14PSI would be a much more appropriate. Not sure why he didn't clarify the risks before telling me 16PSI was feasible the first time. Like I said, he seems to have a lot on his mind.
Anyway, maybe I can get 2 maps on my PFC (can they do that?). One 16psi for serious autox competition and one 14psi for street and not-so-competitive autox events. |
