I picked up a LHD FD a few weeks back. I am currently going through the car and finding out more about the build and what parts I need to replace to rescue it. Its lived a pretty rough life lately but is a single turbo swap, and looks like matenance was never part of its history. Fortunately a compression check came out half decently. the body and frame are in good shape, no rust, fenders and wheel wells are all un touched and it comes with a bunch of track oriented suspension parts and upgrades. The goal is not to chase big power (I have a 1000hp wheel ctsv wagon) but to get the car running and driving like it should be and have a little fun. Since it has a single turbo on it and a lot of supporting mods am I just looking on replacing all the fluids, plugs, wires, and make sure its happy and healthy.
After the compression test we realized the injectors are stock (or maybe de-capped as it has paperwork for 1300CC map being loaded into power FC) So now that I think I might be running out of fuel up top at 10lbs, I am thinking of converting the fuel system to handle e85. Knowing these cars need a lot of fuel (in comparison, my wagon made 750whp on id1050x on e85 lol) I am struggling with what injectors to pair and if I should just replacing all the lines from the tank to the rails (looking at the radium rails) I know this goes against "not chasing power" but if the car needs rails and bigger injectors for the current setup I may as well run e85 as we have a local station that sells only 85% e85... so its the good stuff I dont like the idea of meth though I know on these cars cant be great.
So with that said, the turbo in the car is "ff 66 borg warner" would someone be able to recommend the proper injectors and perhaps fuel pumps for my goals? I will continue to read and search, very familiar with that but some of these posts I am reading through are from 2003 where injector and fuel pump tech has changed quite a bit along the way. I would appreciate any information and looking forward to learning more about this platform.
A guy here is running an S366, 1000/2200 injectors, 2 x Stealth 340 pumps, and is putting down about 440whp (Mustang dyno) around 23psi.
I'm running an S363SXE, 550/2200 injectors, single Stealth 340, and am around 350-400whp at 14psi.
Thank you. I assume you are both on pump gas? I have been spending a lot of time in the alternate fuel supply forum. Obviously at that point I need big pump and big injectors from what I have been reading. I like the idea of being around that 15psi to start. just worried about how limited I am with power FC and e85 and injectors as big as what e85 is demanding from what I have been reading.
I dont know if a whole new ecu is recommended at that point.
Ive gotten this beast tore down quite a bit now. I ended up pulling the injectors and fuel rails. They appear stock so it seems like the previous owner was wrong, or just lied. but I am going to probably run a CJ fuel setup for e85, and I am currently debating between id1300/1750 or id1000/2000 combo. I dont know if there would be any power difference on this setup, but I do know the 1300/1750 are e85 ready.
Everything else on the car looks pretty good. We did a compression test, its good enough, the injector diffusers are still there, so thats a plus. I am going to clean up the engine bay a bit, and replace some of the parts like Dashpot and some other small items to get it running a little better.
I found one bonus, the car has an Alcon Big Break kit on it.
