93 BG Tracer

[atomicEGT]

FMU= fuel management unit
DSM = Diamond Star Motors, used to describe the 1g/2g Eclipse/Talon/Laser

go to FEOA and get your learn on, it's pretty common at this point.

FYI the CVH motor is a piece of **** and can't take much boost, but on the other hand they're cheap and plentiful so who cares?

[ratch]

lol i know they're cheap POS. i was reading on the wiki about that.
well im not big on boosting alot yet. i wanna learna nd figure out on it before i do alot.
so im definatly doing the head swap. i may not boost though. ill save that for a BPT build.

i have the 85mph gauge cluster. should i grab a diferent cluster?
by 97 fuel rail, im assuming 97 escort/tracer that has the SPI?
i kinda figured that FMU stood for that.
ill head over to that site and read up.

thanks alot for the infor atomic.

[atomicEGT]

don't bother with the head swap unless you add boost- the low compression will make it worthless.

cluster doesn't matter, I've wrapped the needle on a 120mph cluster with a ****ty little VJ20

yeah, you need the rail from an early SPI because the later models went to a returnless rail, which doesn't work with the 2nd gens.

so shopping list
2.0L SPI head with Injectors
97 SPI injectors and FMU
DSM Exhaust Mani and a T25

no harness mods correct?
and whats the specs on the T25 or a place i can find it.
i just wanna know what RPMs and the psi it has.
mainly cus if this kills my mpg i cant do it till i get a second car.

im thinking of dropping AC and PS (iF i have PS)

[atomicEGT]

I think you have to wire in the switch for the SPI intake manifold if you use it, but it's not completely necessary.

T25 specs: tiny and ****ty.

buy the stainless manifold, turbo, and downpipe this guy is selling:

there are threads on FEOA that show you how to drill the DSM manifold to fit.

adding fuel = worse MPG, duh.

[ratch]

i just want to know when the Boost kicks in, so long as it is not less than 3500RPMs im cool with that. i know that more fuel = bad mpg. but if i can have decent mpg by granny shifting around 2500RPMs then thats what im looking at.

[Pox]

Tiny turbo is gonna spool really fast.

[atomicEGT]

Tiny turbo is gonna spool really fast.

qft.

remember kids, anything smaller than a 3076 is uncool.

[ratch]

so yeah, with it spooling low then i may wait till i have another car cus i need fuel econ so i can drive the 10 hour round trip drives to get my daughter. like i said if it doesnt spool before 3kRPM then i will do this. if it does spool before 3k nope. im done ill wait till i can afford to run a second car and at the point im gonna be working on a BPT build.

[CaymenEGT91]

Stock BPT spool is damn near instant.. lol I build 5psi by about 2k

[wgnths]

you have any pix?
Im rocking the 93 tracer wagon with a GTX motor

[wgnths]

nevermind I dint read your first post

[ratch]

lol yeah, those pix were before a engine replacement.
its currently waiting on tranny replacement.
probly wont do this boost build, until i get a second car xD

[ratch]

my to do list.
-Spoked Alums, Stock for now.
-Tie Bars for front and rear(if theres one that fits)
-New Struts, and springs.
-new bumpers(Pro)
-BMW Headlight Conversion.
-Rear Brake Conversion(drum to disk.)
-2.25" Magnaflow exhaust w/ DSM Exhaust Mani.

thats my mod list i intend on. im trying to remember what Struts and springs i was doing. gonna have to dig em up.

im liking the idea of kyb struts and H&R springs. i want a small drop like 1" but im not looking at sitting on the road xD. i put 1500 miles a month on my car. my front end squeeks and sounds almost grinding when i back up so im in need of struts and springs. i know its not CV joints cus i've had CV joints go out before so i know the sound xD however, it bounces a little on the drivers side. so im wanting to get some good suspension. im gonna grab a Sway bar as well, 1k miles of highway driving a month, i want to have good control when im doing 70 around a curve with six cars around me.

Found it xD

So my neighbor here at work happens to posess 3 T3 he got from Dodge Products =]
he may give me a hookup. i'd like to get a T25 or the BPT Turbo, do that Boot Leg set up Atomic enlightened me on xD

anyways, when i start ill be making a new log and getting pics up. i got some headlights to install. i need to get suspension. im gonna do bumpers. i got some work to do so you'll see visual mods before i drop a engine in with a T3 on it.
