I need a little input. Before i change the turbo to a modified twin or single, what modifications can I do to the motor to support EXAMPLE: Intercooler, injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump, block off plates, vaccum lines, and such things. The motor is going in my RX2 so smog isnt a problem. I just wnat to know what I can do to get more performance and reliability from it. All input would be great all brands would be good. Already plan on upgrading fuel pump, intercooler and put all the smog block off plates on. Whats the deal with the vaccum lines and what can i do about those, what can i illiminate being that I dont have to worry aobut smog and I just need the basic functions of the motor. Thanks.

youll need pulleys without the air pump..

if you plan on runnin the twins..to simplify.. run nonsequential

depending on whether or not you want to exceed boost and or run a full exhaust..

youll need to support it with ecu and injectors...

Is it better to run the turbos sequential? on non sequential? As far as pulleys you mean get like and unorthodox pully kit that eliminates the air pump? Where is that located. What size injectors should i get and how much boost can i run on them. The exhaust is going to be full no questions asked no cat no nothing, also what kind of computer can i just get a piggy back fuel computer like an AFC or should i get something else. Im trying to have everything ready to through on the motor when i put it in which is next week im going to do it monster gaurage style, its getting 1st or 2nd gen suspension(havent decided whats easier), 1st gen dash and gauges, 95 motor and GSL-SE rear end soon to be ford 9 inch. IM hoping to take pictures of everything so the next person will be prepared. Thanks for any info you guys can give. All my prior knowledge was in the 4G63 motor.

Wow sounds like it's going to be a beast!



3rd Gen turbo's? For daily driving the sequential twins work great. For racing I think the twin in nonsequential work best. For pulley's...just get a greddy air pump removal pulley kit. It's the standard kit everyone uses. Air pump is located to the left of the alternator. It shares the same belt. Injectors are 550ccprimary/850cc secondary. Injector sizes depends on turbo/boost. If your going to run stock twins at 10 ~12 psi you can use the stock injectors. If you're thinking of running 15 psi on the stock twins, you'll need to upgrade fuel pump to walboro 255lph or supra pump, or you could do dual FD pumps. You'll also have to decide on what injectors you want to use. 1300cc injectors (bored out 850cc) are easiest but expensive. 1680cc injectors are cheapest, but require a "little" more work. At least you won't have to upgrade for awhile with 1680cc. Don't go with the S-AFC. Run a full stand alone. Haltech or the power FC are good choices. Hope that helps.

Ok so looks like im going stock turbos non sequential, my fuel tank is differant so i have to run an inline fuel pump which im going to upgrade, and do i just change one side of the injectors, primary or secondary or both and i will be getting a Power FC. IM hoping to get around 16lbs of boost and make somewhere around 325. The air pump thing I will do and when you say a little work do you mean a little tuning? Thanks for the info and I look forward to this being a monster best i ever ran back in the day was 14 flat with a stock 13b made 124hp on the dyno so i figure 300+ to the wheels if I can get it to all hook up should be something rediculous.

leave the primary injectors stock for idle/gas mileage. Just change the secondaries. With 16 psi you'll make way more than 325. More like 360~ Little work as in "work".

So far ive ordered a k2rd fuel rail and 1680 injectors, compete block off plate kit, found out you dont need greddy kit to remove Air pump just have to buy a smaller belt( 4 ribed 300mm Goodyear belt ), and walboro inline 255 fuel pump. And got a detail diagram on running non sequential. Waiting on reply for the power FC and I still have to get an intercooler. And trust me im use to a little "work" I still have to figure out how to mount the motor in the car so im sure I can change a few parts lol.

I would be a little concerned about the goodyear belt. Reason is the stock pulley's may allow the goodyear belt to slip at high rpms.

if you wanna save some money, you can get the pulley kit from ebay, they go for around 40-50 dollars there. in my opinion just putting a belt on the stock alternator and waterpump pully would not be a good idea, only because you will have so little contact with the water pump pulley and the belt that torque and high rpm might make the belt slip.



dont forget that if you are upgrading your secondary rail, you will need a fuel pressure regulartor, a few feet of -6an line 3/8npt to -6 an adapters. several various fittings, injector clips, 10ohm resistors, datalogit to change your injector settings on the power fc(if you know someone with a datalogit, it will take them 1 minute to change the settings. the commander is only good up to 1300cc upgrades). but you might also want to consider tuning after dropping in the 1680cc inj.



i know k2rd's site has been down for the longest time, are they still in business?
