jr_ss Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 You can use a 2 bar map sensor, but as soon as you turn the boost up and around to 20psi you're going to need a 3 bar. So it's up to you and how much boost you plan on running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcrasta Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 hehehe 3 bar baby! u know u gonna eventually need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerasKas Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 That's a joke! I will probably just go with the 2-bar for now cause 20+psi from a 20g on a stock shortblock equals 2.6 liters of death. I need it to get me around until my other motor gets built. I figured I go ahead and see what 9 or 10 psi on a 20g w/MPI and stock bottom end does. What should it run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 you will want a 3 bar as soon as some dumb honda smokes you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised how much the bottom end can take with MPI. All you have to do is supply the fuel to keep it from grenading, and it looks like you are taking care of that right now with the MPI install...

Chad Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 2 BAR is only ~15 PSI. 3 bar is ~30 PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerasKas Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 OK, 3 Bar it is cause who wants to buy one later? What kind to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 well if your buying from FIP, just ask for a 3 bar upgrade, like 25 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerasKas Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Does anyone have pics of how they did their throttle linkage? Or point me to someone who does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_ss Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10016/engine%205.JPG There's a photo of mine.... I had my intake modded by Chad and he put a provision on the drivers side for the throttle linkage hook-up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerasKas Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Could you maybe explain what it looks like he did? I have been looking at how my TB is going on there and I cant see how I am going to get a cable to pull it the way it needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_ss Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Sorry about the picture being so big, but the cable on the firewall will rotate 180 degrees just put some effort into it.... He welded a mounting flange to the drivers side on the intake so it could be hooked up over there... The cable should reach there, as many others have it that way too and it works fine for them and me as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerasKas Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 What about on the TB? That is where I am unsure cause of the way the cable is supposed to attach. It just doesnt look the same as ours, as far as the way the cable attaches to the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerasKas Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I got my manifold finished and all the linkage done. THANKS EVERYONE for answering my dumb and meticulous questions but I always like to be sure before I weld anything. I think I might have messed up though cause I didnt turn the coolant neck flange quite enough and it looks like it might hit the IC pipe when a hose is installed. I was wondering if there is another neck off another car(I tried both styles) I could use that would turn more towards the front? Another question,I havent tapped any vacuum sources yet but I was just wondering if its possible to use the fitting on the firewall side of the intake(most put a 90 degree fitting in it and use it for the brake booster) to run not only the brake booster but use brass Ts and reducers to run other vacuum lines? I also received my Fuso IC last week and am still waiting on my FIP controller so Im one step closer. Cory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
