All of my turbo experience has been in the world of Honda, which to me doesn't compare to this world, but still gives me some basic know how and such.
I have a friend with a USDM 88 All-Trac, and was wanting to get some basic questions out of the way.
First, this model has a liquid intercooler, which seems to be pretty small, and I was wondering what kind of a Bottleneck it is, or if they are good up to a certain amount of power to the wheels. I've no experience with liquid intercoolers, only air to air.
Secondly, I believe he may have a dying ECU, as the only way we were able to get the car to run normal, was to disconnect the vaccum outputs from the wastegate actuator that link to the ECU.
Now some of the first stuff I wanted to get him into were the basic intercooler (depending on responses about that), BOV, boost controller. So first on that, what type of hp do you guys lay down on stock internals safely? Also, I've heard rumors that a boost cut controller might be necessary if we wish to increase pressure at all. Any ideas on what kind of psi we can look into pushing before we have to start doing fuel system (injectors, FPR, pump) upgrades? Honestly I think if we could just get a little more kick out of this car for him he'd be pretty happy.
If I am being a typical forum n00b, and need to do a little more searching around because these questions have been answered 1,430,000 times already, feel free to smack me one upside the head. Thanks guys.
