Liv2die Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hello every1, just wanting some advice. I have a 97 sentra that im turbo'ing and im almost done but want to know if my setup is safe. Im using a T25 turbo from a bluebird, a walbro 255 fuel pump, a 1st gen eclipse/talon bov and sidemount intercooler, have the boost and air/fuel ratio gauge, and an OBX 10:1 FMU (rising rate).

Bigbird Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 What exactly do you want advice on? Which engine does the car have...sr20? What are you using to tune? Get rid of the air/fuel ratio gauge and get a wideband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv2die Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well for one im not trying to blow the engine. No its not the sr20, its the 1.6l ga16de underdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRAntwon Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Get rid of the FMU...buy either a standalone or another typer of fuel computer (ie. Apexi SAFC etc.), get bigger injectors,...buy an AEM wideband a/f ratio gauge and toss that light show in the garbage, and CALL Slowmotion Motorsports for further advise/help at 614-372-0304. Tell'em Anthony sent ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Oh..fun...lol. Don't push a lot of boost on it then I suppose. Go to http://www.ohionissans.com and see what they can tell you. I don't know much about the 1.6 liter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv2die Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well this was just going to be a temporary setup until this spring. when that time came i was planning to get a safc, 300zx tt fuel injectors, and a maf from a 240, and raise the boost to ten pounds. just wanting to know will my engine handle the current setup?

2pointslow Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 All the advice above is correct. i wouldnt boost anymore than 10 lbs on the stock internals. 12psi might be ok but i wouldnt push it.A/F gauges are narrow band and are only good for light shows. They are nowhere near correct. Get a good wide band, innovative and aem units are both good. SAFC is about the only tunning tool i have found. You might also think about a aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTank Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 use the 255 pump. use the stock ga fuel pump box(the sr20 ones have smaller holes). you will be fine with a jwt reprogram or a calum basic or realtime. 12 psi should be fine. with a good tune. dont do anything without injectors. the sr20 maf is good for about 250hp.
