bp05 how much boost?

[92prolx]

how much psi or hp? would a 1st gen protege bp all motor handle im thinking of turboing a low millage bp motor since mine has 120xxx milles aready. i plan on turboing it with the miata manifold and a t3/t4 turbo some rx-7 550cc injectors i would like to get 250-280 hp out of it ? thanks for the reply in avdance

If you're only looking for 250-280 hp, then your stock bottom end is more than strong enough to hold that.

[92prolx]

it would be cheaper to get the miata manifold and t3/t4 turbo then to try to find a gtx/gtr manifold turbo since its rare and only those turbos fit the oem manifolds

what are you gonna use for fuel management? I'm gonna order megasquirt on payday... see if I can get my car running with it naturally aspirated before I try and use it with a turbo setup

[92prolx]

im going to use the apexi safc2 .

[matt_fulghum]

I highly doubt that an SAFC-2 is gonna be able to crank your fuel flow up enough to maintain 250-280 hp

By that point I'd go megasquirt (but I'm going megasquirt, and I'm N/A, so what do I know ) or maybe haltech.

Besides, for the PRICE of the SAFC-2 you can build a COUPLE megasquirts

i wouldent even know how to began to mess with the megasquirt i have to xperince with wireing or ecu or anything of that sort

Thats bull**** man, you'll be fine with the safc. You dont need that megasquirt or any standalone yet. You'll be fine, just make sure you get the safc properly tuned and 250 + hp should be no problem. Find an Safc from someone local and buy it off them, no need to buy it brand spankin new. If you have any questions let me know. []Deace

With out some kind of timming controller kiss that motor good bye.

How much does an SAFC cost used? You can buy a brand new megasquirt kit for about $150 and it has way more tuning options.

the advantage of an AFC is how easy it is to setup and remove

I hated my SAFC. Go GTX ecu.

[92prolx]

yea but dont you still need to tune the gtx ecu with a safc becuase of bigger injectors?

[elscotto80]

Not if you have GTX ones.

[92prolx]

if i cant find the gtx injectors can i run the rx7 non tubo with the 460cc and still use the gtx ecu or do i have to still tune it with the safc2?
