Hey guys, I'm currently running a VJ11 and I'm looking into the VJ17 compressor housing/wheel upgrade. Would I need a retune if I stick to the same or lower boost? My AFRs are currently 10.2-11.6 @ WOT. The reason for the upgrade is because my car chokes out @ 6k and I'd like a little more pull to 7k for drag racing.
Specs and options:
'98 Sport - White - 192k miles - PW, PL, Keyless entry, 6-disc CD changer, Premium Sound, Cruise, AC, Tilt wheel, Map light, Surfboard spoiler (lol), light grey interior. Has a PA system that makes several different noises. Fun for cruising in town.
Mods so far are:
POWAH
IHI VJ11 turbo w/9psi wastegate
Focus manifold redrilled for turbo
2.5" downpipe
2.5" catback with swappable race pipe and cat. One muffler, sounds great
70mm Cobra 4-wire MAF on suck thru
2.25" charge pipe
FMIC
1g DSM BPV
Esslinger cam gear on intake - advanced 2*
Ford Racing 9mm plug wires
Autolite 5144 copper plugs gapped @ .028"
Ported intake manifold
Ported throttle body
'98 trans. '98s had shorter 3rd-5th. Good for 1/4 mi racing and bad for traveling.
NOS Wet kit - 50 shot (not used)
Autolite boost gauge
AEM wideband
SCT 6600 flip chip
12" slim fan - 50whp here
GRIP
Front & Rear Tie Bars
Ford Racing Struts
Progress Springs - 1.5" drop
Energy Suspension Master Bushing Kit
21mm RSB
Half of a strut tower bar. I think a part failed. Replacing it soon
Rear Disc conversion
HPS pads
Konig 17x7 Helium wheels
Nitto Extreme 555 205/40/17 tires
B&M short shifter
Help is much appreciated.
