MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Upgrades to my car - everyone please let me know your opinions

rk4g63 · 09-22-2005

I have a 94 Talon Tsi AWD, 132k. New timing belt setup at 90k, new act 2100 at 90k.
Equipment:
Stock 7 bolt/4 bolt,Tranny and t-case replaced and oil changed a week ago. Big 16g (at 90k), Evo 3 manifold, Supra TT SMIC, 2.5" non-SS exh with a few bends, MBC

Intentions for the car:
Make it a street car and a solid 12 sec car on the track. Mostly a highly reliable street car, with rare occasions on the track. I don't drag race, just street race. Need to give high gas mileage as well.

Question 1 - What's the max boost level thats safe to run on my setup currently?
Question 2- Whats the max boost that my stock BOV can take?

Upgrades suggested by JET (he's been a big help) and I'm following those closely (keep in mind I'm trying to keep it cheap for now):
650 cc inj
SAFC 2
electronic Boost controller (I wanted this)
2g maf
greddy egt gauge and greddy/TRE probe
datalogger to check knock and O2 volts - I already have a P3 laptop.
190 pump

Question 3: What is the max boost that I should run with the projected setup? I will never run more than 22 psi anyway. I mean to stay REALLLY safe on the boost though, so I need to know when I am pushing the limits of the projected setup.
Question4 : What boost level should I run on the street to get best gas mileage?
Question 5: I'm trying to avoids fuel cut, which is why I'm going for bigger injectors, afc2, etc. Can I get away using just 550 cc? I'm asking coz I'm getting them for 100$ shipped.
Question 6: Trying to use a walbro 190 coz I dont want to get an afpr. Can I also use a low pressure 255 and still not have to use an afpr? Jet, let me know - I forgot to ask you this.

I think I asked you only about the high pres 255.

I'd like everyone's opinions so I don't start off wrong and fuck it all up. Main goal is to stay on the safe side, make it reliable and still get a 12 sec car. If I end up being late 12's in the interests of safety of my powertrain/drivetrain, even though I might get to early 12's if I push it, so be it. Just as an example.

Thnaks for the help, guys.
