bought a b16g w/ 2g install kit and frontmount+pipes what else do i need to support the new found power?

[koho2731]

fuel pump, 650cc injectors (550cc will work), SAFC or some form of fuel control. boost gauge, wide band/egt/or data logger, and a tune

[TrboChicsRock]

What do you have done to the car so far?

I know lack of info is great and he has stock in his garage. So I'd guess he needs all of the suporting mods

[D Money]

you need a tow truck. lol j/p

I would go with what koho said, maybe an avcr for boost control and some type of manifold that supports and ewg. Maybe if your looking for more power some Jun/hks 272's might help out as well.

[freebmx444]

all i have is a cat-back, filter and bov. im looking at the extreme psi fuel package

[TalonTsi97]

extreme psi fuel kit is a good way to go, but if you look around a little you can get everything cheaper buying it seperate. Thats what i did.
550s, 190 fuel pump, safc, manual boost controler, and a o2 housing dump are good effective mods and wont kill ya on price. I dont think b16's have the boost creep problems on the evo16 so unless you really want a 02 dump you dont need to buy that. Ebay downpipe are made pretty good for the price so maybe you can look into one of them. Look into a logger setup even if you dont know how to tune it will help the person tuning your car, plus its actually pretty useful to see how things are running. Thats all i can think of quicly off top of my head. Is the turbo ported? maybe you can get that the mani and stock o2 housing ported as well.

[TrboChicsRock]

I would look into getting a Downpipe, fuel pump, injectors (550s or bigger), and some sort of AFC. You can usually pick up used 550's for around $150 and a used SAFC for around $150 also.

If you go with a high flow 255 fuel pump you'll need a fuel pressure regulator as well.

Ebay downpipes aren't made correctly. It's about 3 inches too shor and the flange going to the exhaust isn't lined up the right way.

Likewise. I personally don't buy cheap ass knock off parts or anything. I buy the best, used top of the line products arent bad either. but yes look into getting everything ported.

Really i have seen 2 on friends cars that have had no problems, i guess it depends where its bought from.

You don't need a FPR if your running high boost all the time (20+psi). it only hurts low throttle a bit. I have a Walbro 255 HF and I'm still running the stock FPR. Also my freinds running a Supra TT fuel pump which is a higher flowing pump 290lph I think and he doesn't have an FPR either. With that said it will help with tuning

[TrboChicsRock]

You most likely will not need a FPR with a regular 255. But the high flow 255 does over run the stock FPR.

Ture, but at higher boost pressure it doesn't really make any differance at WOT. My base fuel pressure is around 62psi (stock FPR being over run) and it doesn't change with boost. A 1:1 FPR with the base set at 41psi is going to be @ 61 psi @ 20lbs of boost and will only as high of pressure as it would if you let the stock FPR get over ran. Again it is a good idea to have a 1:1 FPR for fine tuning you fuel curve or thing to extend you smaller injectors duty cycle ie you will not have to add as much fuel on the SAFC/ GM MAS trans.

T bolt clamps, i would be looking into fuel issues to save your motor before getting an exhaust and other mods that would make your turbo more efficient.
Go with 550cc injectors, if you go larger you may start running into fuel cut. Fuel pump, AFC, i would probably go with a DP to get quicker spool before a o2 dump since you shouldnt have creep issues driving on the street. Porting is also a cheap and effective mod.
Also if you are launching on the street and boosting alot dont forget to keep some money aside for when you burn up your clutch.

[freebmx444]

ok got the turbo today, do you think its safe to put it on to drive to and from school/work as long as i dont boost it high?

[Kevin]

nah get tint first.

[TalonTsi97]

As long as you keep the boost down your fine with it, just have it turnt down.
What kinda fmic setup did you buy?

[koho2731]

I'd at lest get a pump the Big 16G flows alot more then a stock T25 or 13g/14b will ever.

I agree.

I had to put on my 16g because my T25 went. I only had a fuel pump at the time as far as fuel. I ran stock boost until I was able to afford injectors/AFC.

[freebmx444]

bought the cheap ebay fmic

[koho2731]

bought the cheap ebay fmic

Is it from fatboy garage? If so have fun installing it, I had to hack up the upper IC pipe to get it to work.

[koho2731]

hopefully it will work out for you

[turbo4g63]

have fun getting that front bumper off if it is the first time taking it off....look out for the plastic pin thingy's right below the headlight....kiss your fog lights goodbye, and prepare for some bumper hacking depending on how deep your fmic is.

[freebmx444]

it looks like i wont have to take the bumper off, the intercooler fits inside the big space in my bumper

You should have to atleast take it off for the install even if you dont need to cut it.

[freebmx444]

Sell your car now, you are going to be another one of the people who bashes DSM's for reliability because you're too lazy to do what is required.

[SexyDSM95]

[Kevin]

[freebmx444]

[koho2731]

bonehead, slow boy , JNZ, dsm parts. search

[turbo4g63]

Yea, i hear ya. Hows that turbo thats for sale?

it's in good shape, i just don't have the money right now to buy supporting mods. so it is one of those deals where if i sell it...great...but if i don't, then when i free up some cash i will do the turbo/injectors/egt gauge/wideband/tune....total up about 8-900 in supporting mods that i don't have the money for
