Please remove those headlights, and taillights, and set them on fire. Completely ruins the look of the car.... That's not an fd any more. It's an african bullfrog :( |

when i bought the turbokit from america the builder got the parts coated for me so im not sure of the name. ill get some pictures tonight as its been delivered. need to find a boost controler. anyone have one? |
Hey you know you may want to re-consider using the injector diffusors. There have been more than a few members on here that have had them fail and sucked into the motor. They have the potential to ruin your motor. Newer style injectors have much finer spray patterns and the diffusors are really useless. Might as well toss them in the trash and prevent a possible major fail point!
Nice build btw!! I too have the vertex front bumper! i love it! |

WELL GUYS AND GIRLS ITS HERE. MY SINGLE TURBO KIT.
looks pretty. wasnt so pretty trying to get the bastard to fit! eventualy it went in. currently welding another boss onto my downpipe for the AEM wideband and need to sort some other bits and bobs out but apart from that its all good. made up a drawing of re-wiring my fuel pump which i will run with 2x 30A relays as i will be using the standard pump as a lift bump then a bosch 044 inline pump to boost the pressure. obviously ill need new fpr, injectors and fuel rails. ill be going for the 850cc from my secondarys into my primarys and then using bosch 1680cc injectors for my secondaries. once its running i will be using the base map on my power fc to get it through an mot. then spray job then mapping. as im in shetland it will be a 600 mile+ drive to a rotary tunner :( owell. ANYWAY GUYS HERE IS SOME PICTURES Attachment 679284 Attachment 679285 Attachment 679286 Attachment 679287 Attachment 679288 Attachment 679289 Attachment 679290 its my bazzzooookaa Attachment 679291 |

if you can swing it go with newer I.d. Injectors. I'm using the ID 850's primary and 2000cc secondaries. The injectors you have will work though. Just ditch the Diffusors =-)

so these id injectors are what to go for? are they hi impedance? i think 2000cc will be too much for my setup. 850's in the primaries will be fine though# |
You won't need resisters for the injectors. The 2000's are very tuneable.. You don't have to run 90% injector duty.. they'll be just fine for your application.
