flames4life Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Im putting the starion engine in my mighty max and decided to get rid of the ovcp and run the pipe down the driver side. I didnt like the sharp bend that i have seen so i decided to make an adapter plate and rotate the whole tb. Couldnt find much info on the subject so anyone who has done this or sees anything wrong feel free to chime in. Thanks.

93 GSX TURBO Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thats a cool idea and nice looking adaptor. I guess the only concern would be if it affects two cylinders getting less fuel because of the sideways orientation of the injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Because of the orientation of the injectors, its possible the two cylinders closer to the idle injector would get less fuel from the main injector.But maybe it won't make a big difference, with tb injectors it would be like turning a carburetor sideways? I think i'd prefer to keep the injectors where they are and cut the inlet before the injectors and weld on a smooth bend towards the front of the car to get the same intercooler pipe routing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4life Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 well i actually didnt think it will make a difference but i guess we will see. btw i am using the fip setup with two 10xx? injectors. thanks for the input. i would like to hear opinions and trial on the setup.

scott87star Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not an issue with the injector orientation, just use alternating firing order and 4 squirts per revolution. It might be an issue with staging them but you aren't. I assume they are two stock Mitsu high flow injectors? The ones I've flowed typically flow closer to 900-950 cc/min @ 38 PSI.

Ironside Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Think you could make another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Looks good. No hood clearance issues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMNDSTAR87 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The adaptor is the easy part.... The orientation of sensors and throttle cable will need to be addressed...Gig out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Wasn't someone selling a kit to do a 180 flip? That would be easier,no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malykaii Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I remember! That was you. Come this summer I've decided to slap on the 16g and run hard pipes with a fmi on the Montero. I might be interested in buying that off ya dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4life Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have one of these burning a hole in the garage. ... can you post a picture of it? if it works out i would possibly sell them. how would a 180 make it easier? i dont see and issue with the sensors. they are just wires. throttle cable maybe but i dont see it.

techboy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I remember a few years back I was looking into this same possibility. I did a lot of searching here on the board I think Indiana had done something similar and had pictures of a 180 flip. The only things I really remember being issues during my reading was hood clearance with the adapter plate bolted on, hooking up the throttle cable, and making sure the coolant passages running through the TB were sufficiently blocked up. Looks awesome. Good luck with it and keep us posted on the progress. I'm also not a big fan of the OVCP (which is why I was looking into it myself in the first place).

flames4life Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Ok so the truck is running with the rotated throttle body. Driving it today it leans out on accel. without even getting into boost. My question is could rotating the throttle body have changed how the vac. ports work? The map sensor is on the far right in the row of 3. The bosch fuel regulator is on the port at the inlet of the throttle body. (original location). Dizzy is on the far left on the row of 3. And boost gauge and bov are on the single port on the bottom of the manifold. btw i am running a fip setup with the new fuel rail and injectors.

ucw458 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Map sensor should not be on the TB. It should have it's own larger port in the intake. Put the boost gauge and map sensor on the port below the TB and run the BOV off the port on the #4 intake runner. The map sensor line and port should be larger for faster response. I run 1/4" hose to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flames4life Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 well i just found out that i was running a 3 bar map sensor on a 1.5 bar map. i couldnt find the map sensor that came with the fip so i ordered a new 3 bar. and now everything has to be re mapped. fml any clue what map sensor fip used?

ucw458 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 My guess would be the same 1.5 bar map that MS used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
