Trying to tune to ECU for more boost September 09, 2010, 09:28:39 PM I am wanting to turn the boost up on my IHI to 17 psi and was wondering how I can safely turn up the fuel pressure as well. Who makes the best chip for the 87 turbo coupe ecu? Thanks Quote Selected
Trying to tune to ECU for more boost Reply #1 – September 09, 2010, 09:46:26 PM http://www.moates.netThe BURN1+F2A+F2E chip setup is basic, the Quarterhorse is better with real-time adjustability and data-logging.Good luck! A whole new world to learn.But remember, the fuel pressure can be adjusted by getting an aftermarket AFPR. And the boost can be up'ed with a Boost valve. Quote Selected

Trying to tune to ECU for more boost Reply #5 – September 26, 2010, 11:46:30 PM The only prob is... I am at 7,000ft up here. I would have to have it tuned up here with someone willing to do it. I am a novice when it comes to that unfortunately.Would it be safe for me to turn my boost up to 18 on the stock ecu setting with a walbro 255? (which I have installed)Just wondering Quote Selected
Trying to tune to ECU for more boost Reply #6 – September 27, 2010, 12:15:58 AM Wait what are you guys talking about? He's wanting to run higher boost on his stock TC. All that takes is a mbc. Maybe an upgraded pump if its weak. Quote Selected

All that takes is a mbc. Maybe an upgraded pump if its weak. I'll just add that alot of guys get an AFPR and up the fuel pressure just a bit to account for the extra boost.The Ric Gillis Boost Valve is usually a good way to go. -> http://www.boostvalve.com/You said you already installed the walbro, so the "HARD" part is already done.You might want to keep an eye on your air/fuel ratio, but you should be more than ok.There is a graph/formula around on one of these sites that tells you how much fuel pressure you are suppose to have, for the amount of boost you are running. If I find it again I'll post it here.This right here should be really helpful for you right now. -> http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/Mods/Mods01.htm It basically stats the some of the very first and basic mods that most people do to their T-Birds.

Trying to tune to ECU for more boost Reply #8 – September 27, 2010, 09:36:23 PM no need to do anything with fuel pressure, it will or should increase with the boost.... 1 psi of boost = 1 psi of fuel Quote Selected
Trying to tune to ECU for more boost Reply #9 – September 28, 2010, 02:49:43 AM I already have a gillis valve lol. The only reason I am afraid to turn the boost up is because they were afraid to at the dyno shop... (for some reason???) OK.. in that case, I will turn the boost up and get an AFR gauge tomorrow :burnout: Quote Selected

Only 30 bucks. I got a bigger O2 sensor because I think the other one was bad. (Might explain the weird readings on the dyno???) Anyway, I am putting on the new O2 sensor and AFR tomorrow. Any suggestions for widebands?Running 15 psi right now (cautiously) and will up to 18 tomorrow. I dyno'd at 140 RWHP at 10psi (at 7000ft mind you 25% HP loss up here) Upgrades since then...-New motorcraft plugs, wires, cap and rotor gapped at .32-Magnaflow straight-through exhaust (had S turn on it)-MSD Streetfire Coil-Homemade Cold Air Intake (a tutorial will follow on how I made that)-Seafoam, New Fuel Filter, Oil Change-New O2 SensorI will pull another dyno run at 18 psi and tell everyone how it went. Hopefully I can break 210 RWHP.Next stage will include-Meth Injection (Snow Performance)-9LB Flywheel-Stage 2+ Clutch-WidebandAiming for 300 RWHP Quote Selected
