Yep, I know MAP's UICP is missing that part, they sell both though.
Oh you're right, I see that now.

Dave,

Have you though about doing a fp green? If you looking for a reliable setup, that is where id go (keep it under the 500 ponies and hella kwik spool brah!), then start looking at other aspects of the car to make it more balanced. But if I know you, there will be a black on this car in no time.

FP red sized turbo or newer 5xmm that will do 600 with your displacement and MIVEC you will have all the response and still do 600whp or really high 5xxwhp.

Good luck.

I like the EF2 more than the green and I feel like that might be a tad small for my motor. I think that is a great 2.0L turbo though.

I am leaning heavily towards the FPred and shoot for 500whp or so.

Yea, I like the red.

I am price checking the AMS 750xp kit with the 5858 and keep a .63 A/R on there, but I will be tempted to move way up again if I get that. The FPred will outspool that by a good 500 rpms I think.

I like the idea of not needing to rev my motor out to 9000 rpms I guess, 8200 or so seems like a good target rev.

just giving u size and pressure drop rate for that size turbo incase it came in handy lol oh well.

I have been going through evo withdrawal lately, no car parts, no driving, nothing and lately been on the forums browsing a lot.

So I felt the need to buy something but didn't want to get into my new turbo setup just yet, landed on this.

Not sure if this will be a "bottleneck" in my fuel system so I might run it on the return line but I think this is pretty cool. I will feel better always knowing my e content and when Tephra finishes the whole "flex fuel" patch so you can run whatever e content I'll need this sensor anyway. I got the GM sensor with it.

Now to just find out where to mount this.

Also been going back and forth a ton on turbos, looking at the 7670 BW EFR lately, might do that but who knows.

Mmmm Borg.

Mmmm Borg.

Yea I am really liking the looks of the 7670 turbo.

here is a comparison from a stock turbo...keep in mind the EFR started the pull later and is still full spool before 4k. This is on a 2.2L as well and its the "break in tune".

I am hoping if I get this to have full boost by 3600 and peak torque starting at 4k or so. Then shift at 8k.

I think it will be a much more fun street car on this setup.

Plus the EFR has an integrated bov and 3 port, so that will be interested to try. Also oil/water cooled and BB, so should be factory reliable.

I am thinking I will do this if I go a full kit, otherwise I'll be on a stock frame turbo of some sort.

I will also probably go the .92A/R internally gated version.

[simulatedwood]

Whats vegas the over/under on Murlo going back to stock frame turbo?

[Murlo26]

great question, guess we will see :)

Now is a good time to not go back as I have to rebuy all sorts of shit regardless, so mind as well be a full kit right?

I am 50/50 now on stock frame vs. EFR kit.
