I am taking the car to Azevedo Motorsports in New Jersey Feb 20th to get dyno tuned at 10 to 12psi. I will have some more pics this week.

what size of injectors are you using?

Xtremelylow · « **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2008, 08:45:20 PM »

I dont know forsure yet. I was told that stock ones would handle 10-12psi with a proper tune ??

I get pre Ignition at 10 psi with the fuel rail at 90psi in boost...stock injectors can handle 8 psi MAx!! Do not use stock injectors or you will cook that motor... I have been down the pre Ign road and it's not a healthy one... Im just lucky I have tuned ears or I would have blown the motor

Depending on what intake manifold you have ... you will need special adapters for new injectors

my car is a 94, what injectors would I need and where do you get the adapters ?

310cc 30Lb injectors & the only place I know where you can get the adapters is http://www.techniquetuning.com/contact.htm you have to call or email them to confirm they still sell them

That e30 looks nice. A buddy of mine did the same thing to the hood, except that he put stripe on each end of the center part to devide the black from the rest of the car. As for the e36, maybe this will convince me to stick to the M42 and not swap for a s52....

I just talked to Nick @ Technique Tuning and they still sell the Injector adapters. They are going for $96 + s&h. I am going to order up a set tomorrow.

Perfect!! great investment !! just find some high impodence 30lb injectors and you will be on a roll...12PSI will run perfect with those and the tune ... good luck!~

Don't mean to be a ass and love the hard work setup but 90% sure with 600+deg heat you will eat belt's, eat your coolant line, Cam pos sensor line will melt... I had a O2 signal wire a half a foot away from the down pipe on my setup and it melted and grounded out and I'm runing a bottom mount and it run's colder then any top mount setup by far... your going to have a heat over lap effect with that setup almost 100% sure

ya that coolant line to the rad is rated for 300 deg max! I can tell you for sure the turbo hot side will reach in the 500 deg befor boost ... verified on my setup with laser
