What kind of RRFPR?

naika · « **Reply #61 on:** September 23, 2009, 03:18:30 PM »

It's a BEGI, I have the in and out lines, then what seems to be the boost line, and another one with a little screw and a line with a filter on. On top of it there is a screw with what seems to be a lock nut, not sure if that is meant to tune it somehow?

BEGI has the instructions online: http://www.bellengineering.net/PDF/FMU%20Instructions.pdf

Big screw is an adjustment

Thanks for the instructions, I've been looking for them

I think I get it, I went through the doc quickly and that's the exact same as mine.
I didn't see if I need to plug the check valve back anywhere or does it just plug on the needle valve and sucks up the air going through the check valve?

Thanks again

how's the car running?

Curious as well.

Mine has been holding up splendidly and is due for a dyno tune sometime in the near future (2 months or less). Estimated rwhp is 205 going by some experienced buddies "butt" dynos. That's at 9 PSI.

Naika, you get your oil line situation figured out? My pics show it, but I guess not clearly. If you haven't figured it out let me know and I'll MS paint up some lines on it so you can see.

Car is running great, no problems what so ever.

I daily drive this thing all over, seeing how it my only car.

I made a new down pipe and did a new 2.5" exhaust all my self. I also painted the valve cover and intake manifold black. I would have posted pics but I've been kinda down lately having no job. Thats why I also have no dyno, but by the seat of my pants, I would say 170-180 on 7psi.

^Sweet thanks for the update... minus the no job part. I know how that feels. Good luck on that front.

I daily mine too and have not noticed any adverse effects yet (~3000mi) other than I need to run a thicker oil on my next oil change because the turbo heats up my 0w40 too much. Switching to 20w50.

Hi, i'm new here. I have a question - how do you manage the engine? only using RRFPR? Maybe i missed some? but i did not notice any describing that in your posts. And another - euro m42 has a 10:1 compression, is it dangeuros to boost up to 7-8 psi, like you did on your 9:1 USA m42?

e30guydownunder · « **Reply #73 on:** November 26, 2009, 04:00:59 PM »

stan, there is no difference between euro/US M42. They both have 10:1 compression.

From everything I have seen 7-8 psi should be fairly safe. People are doing it with just a RRFPR and bigger injectors along with fiddling witht he tuning of the AFM. Honestly though if you can stretch you budget eitehr to one of tglaze's plug and play MegaSquirts setups or even an off the shelf piggy back system you will be much safer. To run boost you really want to control ignition as well as the fuel.

Good luck with your project and be sure to post your progress on the forums.

Thank you for answer! I just don't want to change stock ECU, cause i don't have any exp. in such stuff and want to make everything by myself.
