Elkidmino Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 delphi 95# injectors (i dont know if it is an overkill for the car) Those are huge!!! Even 750's are on the bigger side. Do you have a wideband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDawg_43 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Dawg to the rescue.......... Check and adjust your zero-throttle map. And check and adjust you coolant temp map. It sputters and pops when you hit the gas, because it is too lean at that time. You need you richen up your fuel maps below boost (atmospheric). To get a good base line fuel map, remove a IC pipe and do some driving and tuning. This way the turbo does not boost, and you'll be in better control, and you don't blow up your engine.

TopDawg_43 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 And oh yeah, those injectors are REAL big. I'm running 550's on a TD06h-20g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg_43 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) And you need to unplug the vac advance. It will screw up your ign maps. You will not get the proper advance, and you can blow your engine up. Your EMS will fully control your ign timing.

hiko_seijuuro Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) thanks dawg at last somebody helps me well i will do that tomorrow to see how it works and i will let you know how it goes. If i unplug the vac advance do i have to lock the distribuitor or can i just leave it unpluged and it will work just fine. And also should i get smaller injectors cuz my friend is trading me his 850cc injectors for mine but i dont know if i should do it cuz i want to be able to tune it pretty good with does injectors so i can switch to e85 but right now i need my car running what do you think?

TopDawg_43 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would most defiantly go to the smaller injector. I not sure about converting it to e85. I have not researched it. 850 is still a pretty big injector. You are going to have to lock the disturbutor. The weights will effect the timing as well. I disassembled my disturbutor, removed the weights and added a washer in between the plates to lock it in place. Once you remove the center bolt, it will all make sense.

hiko_seijuuro Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 ok i guess i will have to lock the distributor is there a topic in here that says how to lock it step by step? i know most people here will say to look in the forums but can anyone show me the right direction. about the injectors well im going to have to find a way to be able to tune it with the 95# cuz i dont have mony to buy a new set of smaller injectors.

TopDawg_43 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure if there is still a topic on here or not. I remember posting a picture to one about 5 years ago. Just so happens I still have that picture. http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL1039/1790846/9871119/193467035.jpg Remove bolt "C", remove part "B", remove weights, insert washer between plats "A" & "B", reinstall bolt "C" using loctite, once bolt is tightened, dist. will be locked.
