3rd Gen People Who Have Done Their Own Signle Conversion With Little Help

I got a couple things to ask and was wondering any body could help, I feel stupid even asking but I need help. I'd like to talk with people that have a PFC, done their own swap, and some tuning of their own also. I'm probably dumb for even having a 7, cause I keep messing things up. I'm having trouble starting the car, I can't figure out if it's wiring is or how my setup is. anybody willing to help me, please PM me casue it's to much to type out.

thanks in advance

Just post your questions(unless they are related to f&f crap)at least it sounds like you are trying to help yourself.

I did my own single conversion/ custom FMIC. I haven't started the car yet. I am just waiting on my custom down pipe to arrive. What are your questions?

I did my own set up and have figured some of the bugs out.
I will throw this generic advice out there.
Make sure you have good fuel pressure and that the system holds pressure. Around 40psi.
and if you have added an aftermarket mapsensor the car wont start until you make the adjustment within the power FC. Those were two things that held me up when I went to fire it up for the first time.

I need alot of things to complete my setup, i just need for my car to start and idle only (for now), also, know that I'm getting my pieces and parts sort of like from scratch (not used though) and not using kits ( its just the way i wanted to do it)

newbernD PM'd me and told me what I might be missing.

I didn't know the car needed a FPR for it to run I didn't understand how it worked so I was like (ppfffff) that'll be a last item, turns out that it's one of the things I need to have the car run, right.


anyway I still need to get a TOBO timer and boost controller, and finish up intercooler piping, and other little things.




well here's one Where can I get some 2 1/2" mandrel piping at good price?
