so i have an 87 gxl with a t2 swap. stock ports, front mount, 550cc/750cc, rtek 1.7, 3" straight pipe, block off plates, and i wanna get a bnr stage 3 turbo upgrade. will the setup i have currently be sufficient enough to hold up on 10lbs on the stage 3? thanks for any help

 

Yes.
i had almost an identical setup.
rtek 1.7
550/750 low impedence
bnr stage III at 14 lbs.
made just shy of 300 rwhp.
oh, one thing worth mentioning tho, i had an apex'i afc neo to control fuel.
then i tuned it myself, really easy to do to get good 11-12 afrs with a wideband.
really easy setup.
good luck!!

 

thanks bro, thats about what im aiming for, 300 would be perfect for a street car. ill have to look into the neo.
anyone else get similar results?

 

might check in the 2nd gen section

 

don't want to steal your thread, but you have the same question i do.
I'm about to get started with my 10th AE and have already upgraded a few things:


Changed almost all hoses\gaskets etc. basic stuff
Rtek 1.7
720 secondaries
RB downpipe, presilencer, y-pipe and mufflers.
Corksport TID
Im going to go with the FD fuel pump, maybe RP one, def not a walbro.
Everything else is stock, IC, blow off valve, FPR, etc.

I've sent my turbo to BNR but haven't decided what stage to go with? could my setup handle the Stage 2 or even 3 upgrade?

What else am i missing? Wide band O2, would you recommend an s-afc?

Hit me back!
