Wolf 3d on 89 turbo Q's

I have a wolf 3d on my 89 and it works great except for 2 things

When i get to about 5500 rpm i start going past 80% injector duty at 8lbs of boost. This sucks since i want to run way more boost than that, but 8lbs still wont work. I have the EFI air/fuel monitor with injector monitor. 3rd gen fuel pump, 550 primaries and 720 secondaries. Do i need bigger injectors or fuel pump?

I have noticed that my oil temp in the oil pan goes way higher than my coolant when going up hills (and i mean it goes up fast!) Coolant never goes over 195 out of motor (before radiator) on a 100 degree day. Oil coming out of motor will hit 230+ on a cold night going up to the foothills! Is this normal or is my wolf set up wrong.

Any help would be appreciated. I have a really good map so far that gets me 21.5 mpg on the highway with a street ported turbo motor and great response. Still working out bugs though.

You definitely need bigger injectors and a better fuel pump if you're going to run 21 PSI. I'm assuming you're running a big turbo as well. You could try using the 720's as primaries and getting 1600 cc secondaries. That should be enough. I'm running 1600 cc primaries and secondaries with the Nippondenso pump Jason sells. Everything is fine at 16 PSI so far.

The Wolf shouldn't affect your oil temperatures--directly at least. Those temperatures are a little high. This is what Racing Beat says: Normal oil temperature varies quite a bit depending on the operating conditions, but usually stabilizes between 140F and 200F. If the temperature exceeds 210F, reduce the load on the engine immediately or shut it off. Continued operation above 210F may damage the engine. You may want to check out your oil cooler.

Dude, you shouldn't be worried about what kind of gas mileage you're getting. You should worry about how much power.

It looks like you have the car too rich for 8# of boost. You need to get on a dyno with a wideband A/F meter and tune the car. You should be able to run 8# of boost safely with the fuel system setup. If you do decide to get larger injectors keep the stock primarys for drivability issues and get larger secondaries. I have 550 pri and 1600 sec with my Wolf. I also suggest that you use the optional powered out put from your wolf to control the secondaries. You can drive around normally with the primaries and have the wolf turn the secondaries on as soon as you see 0-2 psi of boost. It also make it easier to tune.

Oil temp

The oil temp in the oil pan hits 230 plus going up hill on a cold night. I dont have a temp guage on the oil AFTER the oil cooler cools it, maybe i should though. Anyone with a good map that i can look at to compare to my map???
