what's your hp goal?

[turbotalon1g]

That is easily one of the most confused mods lists evar.

Your most likely going to hit fuel cut with those injectors... but 21psi might be doable... being that your running e85 the timing isn't so bad, its still a little high. I ran 30psi with a SAFC and 1000cc pte's with no knock, but I also had a FMIC and I retarded the stock timing 3 degrees... Defiantly not ideal but it did work.

I think that 780cc injectors are on the small side for a e16g, while you might be okay at 21psi, its best to get some sort of setup that you can monitor the knock so you know for sure. The chipped cars I see usually use the stock boost gauge to display knock, which is nice... otherwise get a pocket logger if your really cheap.

[19TsiAwd90]

How do you set that up?! And I want to use a chip so this is what I'm thinking maybe?

Walbro 225
1000cc injectors
And idk what for boost
my hp I would like to get 300 at least

[awd-drifter]

let me get your mod list straight because your mods are sort of confusing.

- e316g
- 272s
- 1000cc
- fmic
- manual boost controller
- e85
- 255 fuel pump
- 23psi
- DSMLink
- tuning tuning

I think you should get DSMLink. If I were investing this much into e85, it's best to do it the right way other then getting issues doing it the wrong way, probably just shoot Ecoli (shane) a PM. You can run with the safc but it's very limited in tuning. I was in the same spot about e85 and I'd rather just modify it more safely/properly because if you do it the 'cheaper' way, it will work but it won't be running at it's full potential. I'm assuming with e85+e316g+272s+255+fmic+dsmlink+tune= close to 300awhp

[Nartanian]

Dude, with that setup he'd easily be looking at over 300whp. He'd be around 350whp. If he maxed out the setup he'd be looking at around 400whp.

[GG_9_SE]

Im wanting to know if the OP has read anyones response to this thread lol. Lots of good info. To the OP you need to read read read, talk with shane about your goals potential mods, and whatnot.

[19TsiAwd90]

Yeah there's lots of good info I'm getting and I'm convinced to switch to dsmlink, I think lol
this is what I'm going to do then,
Wally 225 -50$ used
dsmlink v3 lite-345 new
1000cc injectors- no clue on price
take it to db and call it a day!( am I missing anything?)

[awd-drifter]

Nos...lol. jus kiddin. let us know how this goes. 300awhp is pretty fun...even though i havent driven a 300awhp 1g yet. I'm guessing I'm around the 220-230awhp at DB right now... I'm positive that extra 70+whp gain can be done easily with 272s, e85, dsmlink+tune and bigger injectors. just thinking about the 300awhp mark is making me smile

[GG_9_SE]

The injectors will run you around 300ish give or take what brand you buy

[19TsiAwd90]

Alright what about a used set?

[jrohner]

http://www.advancedfuelinjection.net

They have the 'modified spray pattern' 1050's for $269, 1000's for $249, or if you're never going to get a bigger turbo you can just go with 850's for only $230 (not really worth it for the small price difference).

[19TsiAwd90]

I'm hoping shane will pop in and tell me what I should look for lol

[GG_9_SE]

go with the 1000's you wont be disapointed. Im running a set of PTE 1000's in the evo. they work great! 1000's usually dont max until around 400ish whp.

[19TsiAwd90]

Alright I'm on the look out for 1000's

[jrohner]

I was at over 400awhp (dynojet) with RC750's; just find whatever is the best deal (850+ probably). 1000's or bigger should be good if you ever plan to do a slight turbo upgrade though.

[19TsiAwd90]

were you on e85? mod list? whats you idc%?

[jrohner]

Yeah E85. IDC doesn't mean shit IMO so I don't really pay attention to it; I richen my tune to see if I still have injector left. (mods list: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/memb...ner-39186.html)

My hp is at a pretty low RPM, if you have more power at a higher RPM you should need slightly bigger injectors since the injectors have less time to be open.

[CarPsyco84]

Just note that holding the injectors wide open is not good for them, which starts happening after 100% IDC. But it does work.
