  1. I am interested. Any idea how much it will reduce weight over a stock one?
  2. With the fuel pressure at only 50 psi under boost you might be taking the injectors past there duty cycle? Before I piggybacked my regulator on the Magna I had to run a higher fuel curve number on the SDS then when I was using the TEP intake with the 52 lb injectors.
  3. Hey Mike, Sorry to hear about your engine. I am a little confused. Which end of the fuel rail are you feeding the fuel into (cyl 1 or 4)? What boost level and octane fuel were you running when the piston came apart? You have me wonder about how close to the edge I am??? Ross might be right about the detonation thing. Remember the Magna flows much more air than a stock intake at 20 psi, so detonation will happen sooner at that boost level. I found that running anymore boost than 17lbs on Sunoco 94 octane gas gave me detonation with the Magna. If I tried richening up the fuelcurve or backing off the timing it would just take power away from my car, so I would think that 17 psi is optimum boost while running 94 octane fuel. I am presently mixing 100 octane Aviation fuel with pump gas inorder to run 20psi. Starting from the trunk my fuel system consists of a Bosch racing pump good for 500 HP, stock fuel lines to engine bay, a BG high flow fuel filter with a 3/8" ID fuel hose feeding the rear of fuel rail. I have the fuel rail inlet tapped to 1/4NPT and I am using a 1/4 NPT Stainless Steel 90 degree street elbow threaded into it. I am using 72 lb siemen injectors. I am also using the stock Magna fuel regulator with a uniasia boost referenced fuel regulator piggybacked in the return fuel line to bring the fuel pressure up to about 43 lbs at idle and 60 lbs while under boost. The Magna regulator won`t maintain a high enough fuel pressure by itself.
  4. Yes, I am still leaking oil from the short throw shifter. I wish mitsu sold just the boot that covers the shifter pivot ball.
  5. I am just starting to fine tune it, I have the boost set at 16lbs and I almost lost it yesterday when I opened it up in the lower gears. My backend almost past my front. I have been smelling oil fumes and see small oil splotches on the trunk of my car. I don`t know if it is the trans, rear or engine oil???? All have slight leaks. The exhaust pipe looks dry with a light grey color and I see no signs of exhaust smoke. I am a little worried that I might have hurt the motor somewhat when I went into overboost several times with the stock wastegate. I still didn`t get a decent compression tester to see if I am losing cylinder pressure.
  6. I just installed the SFP header and the boost control is rock steady. I am using 72 lb siemen injectors that I picked up from one of Glens friends here in the US. I am using the stock mitsu distributor as the trigger for the MSD box. That is all that is needed for the ignition with the exception of a tach amplifier. So far it is working well. The plenum is from an aussie 2.6 Mitsubishi engine.
  7. I have used the TEC 2 system and am now using the SDS system. I can`t say how well other EMS match up. The TEC is not user friendly and requires a laptop, the software I was using required you to shut the engine off every time you made a download. It was a real pain in the a** to use and hard on the starting system. All the values in the TEC are in metric KPA instead of LBs. Centigrade instead of Fahrenheit making it all the more confusing to tune. The SDS (Simple Digital Systems) is simple to tune in comparison to the TEC. All the values are in english, lbs, temperatures. It comes with a hand held programmer which you can make real time program changes while the engine is running.
  8. I think the Magna is the best single performance upgrade that I have ever installed on my car. As for the 12A turbo I doubt that it will flow enough CFM to make enough horsepower to send the turbo into overboost. I am over powering the limits of the tiny internal wastegate with the 20G. Recommended wastegate port size is 40MM for up to 500HP. The stock internal wastegate port only measures about 21MM.
  9. The intake is from Australia. http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~kimpton/ The IC pipes from turbo to intercooler where made by CNM. I made up the IC pipe from intercooler to the throttlebody. The throttlebody is a australian ford 65MM type. I am using the SDS 3D fuel control only engine management system. You should not have any boost control problems when using the 20G with the stock intake. The Magna intake flows so much more air that the turbo spools much easier making the stock wastegate impossible to control the boost.
  10. That battery would have saved me a lot of time. I am using the extra battery tray space for holding the water overflow resevoir and vacuum pump.
  11. Runs great, but my internal wastegate is useless for controlling the boost. The turbo just wants to keep spooling. (I am waiting for a SFP header with an external wastegate.) I found that my 20G turbo also spools up much sooner, I can build 5 lbs of boost below 2000 rpms and 10+lbs at 2300 rpms, having less lag makes the car a lot more fun to drive on the street.
  12. Please go to the address below for pics of my Magna. I decided to post it on this board, hopefully the pics might give others using the Magna ideas for the installation. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/tsiguy18224/lst...ics&.view=t
