new car! 1984 svo stang

[1988festivazoom]

What size injectors do u run? Any ebbing management mods? I de mine and was told not to go over 16 psi with the tbird injectors and computer bc it will lean out and detonate. I have the lc1 innovate sideband for the Festiva but don't wanna install it on the Stang. Is 20the psi ok on the stock internals? I don't get into boost till 3500straw rpm so de I don't really see boost much unless I hit a hill and get into it hard. If I could run a low 13 sec I would be happy with it. I raced an sti. Yesterday light to light and lost by a hoods legenth so its not doing too bad. Obviously the sti got the hole shot seems how its awd and I have bald tires lol.

I run 60 lb./hr. injectors , and I am running Megasquirt as my ecu (festiva too). I have seen many run 30 psi on good (race) gas and stock internals. You just need to make sure to have enough fuel, and not too much timing.


You need to get a wideband on the mustang (or any turbo car for that matter) if you plan on running it hard. It's a good way to keep an eye on things.

If it is on 16 lbs. it should run 13's no problem, if you can launch it hard. Mine does low 1.5 high 1.4 sixty foot times, which is very good.

Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any ?s you have.

My uncle still sells ported steel heads for the 2.3 too.

I will look into installing the lc1 bc my Festiva will be done no time soon the edu chips that are on stingers website that are 90$ say they piggyback the ecu..... will that be good enough to control the parameters for 20the lbs of boost and some bigger injectors? I don't wanna throw a bunch of cash at this thing bc it still needs paint and some interior work. I just wanna run 20-24a ish lbs safely and be able to dd it without problems. Would 60lbd injectors be too large for my setup? It has the 255 walbro pump already.

If you are gonna be using stinger s ecu them I would ask them what injectors to use for your hp goals

Thanks for your help euro! Those 60lb ones are 220$on on ebay..... not bad. I will give stinger a call! I apostles have noticed the car getting a slight hesitation / surge around 22-2800 rpm right before it builds boost. Sparkplugs?

[eurotiva]

I would check them. And if yiu are running boost then gap the to less than .030 I run mine at .022

[1988festivazoom]

Sweet thanks I should use factory plugs correct? I read somewhere that high end plugs have a problem under boost. Is that true?

Platinum plugs aren't recommended for boost. I use the cheapest oem recommended plugs in all vehicles, and just change more often. Keeps you in the habit of removing them and taking a look from time to time, not to mention you'll never get a stuck one. Forced maintenance works great for me. Sometimes rockauto throws in a closeout on champions and you can get them in bulk for like 54 cents each.

Android turns "transfer" into "transsexual" if you hit double s in front of the f. On a side note, check out the "AI keyboard" in the market. Not only does it predict the word you are typing it has a learning engine that assumes the next word after that. For simple sentences it's one key press per word. I like it, and it's free I also like to just talk to my phone and it picks up what I'm saying pretty decent. Hm i didnt see an android powered phone thread...
