Hey everyone I hope you can explain some thecnical stuff to me.
I own a 1997 S14 blacktop SR20det. My question to you all is if it makes sense to change, injectors(550cc) and fuel pressure if I don't have an engine management system.
My goal is to be able to go up 16psi op boost without blowing up things.
My current mods are: blitz front mount intercooler
blitz downpipe
blitz blow off valve
Greddy profec b boost controller
blitz turbo timer
walbro fuel pump
hks spark plugs.
So can you tell me how the stock ecu will respond if I put 550cc injectors and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? Will I be able to boost to 16psi relatively safe?
Until know I think the car will run to ridge with the possibilty of detonating.
The S14 blacktops used a 370cc injector. For you to go up to a 550cc, you will ether need to re-program your ECU or go with a custom fuel management system.
If you want to boost to 16 psi, by all means go with a custom fuel management system; this way you're safe.
Hey rogoman thanks for your post. I guess that is the way to go.
But the thing is I am trying to understand what will happen if I just put the 550CC injectors in it regardless of the amount of boost.
What will happen?
How will the stock ecu react and what will I notice. I guess I want to learn a few thecnical things about the engine.
A given ECU has fuel maps programmed in for a certain sized fuel injector to give the proper fuel mixture ratio. Going to much larger injectors will cause the mixture to be overly rich. You'll end up with driveability problems.
