You will be way over 200whp @ 14psi since you won't be turning a supercharger for your boost. I'm running the MITSUBISHI T3 are you going for a 30 or 28. Do you already have your A/R's like .63 for exhaust and .57 compressor? I know where to get a excellent oil scavenger pump if you want one. I'm excited for you in a non-gay way | | | | | 08-18-2009, 12:32 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |
Jean,
Three things right off the batt and I might be telling you stuff you already know.
1. On the turbo make sure the exhaust is a standard 4 bolt. Mitsubishi turbo's have the TDO5 flange so you need to be sure the turbo has been converted to a standard 4 bolt unless your going to weld V-clamps and forget about matching bolt patterns...
2. On the OBX manifold. When you purchase the manifold make sure the down-pipe flange is standard 4 bolt or matches your turbo. The down pipe I received was 4 bolt but some flange size that no turbo shop could identify so I had to cut it off and weld on the correct flange.
3. I think you will need some 3" pipe for the turbo intake to air filter | | | | | 08-18-2009, 12:42 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |
Items needed for tuning your car.
4 ~ Lucas 42.8# Blue Strip injectors
4 ~ Injector adaptors (Metric)
1 ~ 1995 ~ M3 or 328i MAF sensor
1 ~ 2.5" x 3" boot to connect new MAF in system.
From the MAF to the throttle body it needs to be 3". The tuning for up to 20psi uses the 42.8# injectors and M3 MAF. BOV needs to be placed before the MAF so the BOV air is not metered
You will need to pay Mark for the Firmware, I can do the DME work for free | | | | | 08-18-2009, 03:54 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 |

The 2.5 x 3" hose is on Ebay.
Injectors maybe $150 for the set or less. I've seen a set for $129 shipped
Injector adaptors not sure but can't see more then $40
Firmware is a standard tune so I seriously doubt he will ding you on it, you could choose a TT stage 3 tune but it might be lean in the upper RPM.
Yes I run a stock fuel pump but I'm most likely going to change to a bolt in Mustang GT version. You will be fine with stock fuel pump. Yes use stock fuel rail since the adapters will fit all EV style injectors to your rail & manifold. | | | | | 08-19-2009, 01:06 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

Just bought a set of injectors adapters from MM for $60... Good luck with the project!!! With John is not a matter of luck , since it will happen, but still... ehehe
Be cerefull with CO2 spray: it might have the very unwanted side effect of having CO2 drwan into the air intake causing HP to dorp... __________________

I order them the same day all your hell broke loose and there was some delay with my shipment (they knew I was in no rush and I told them I only needed them by the end of the month). I'll post pix one I get them __________________
