possibility of remote mount turbo

[timg]

Mine was a 12:1. It ran pretty rich under boost though. You could probably get away with a 10:1. You would want to dyno with a wideband to choose the correct one.

exactly the way i usually look at it when people ask how i drive it in the rain

[gectek]

well water isnt the big bad enemy that everyone thinks it is, esp in a setup like this, the heat from the turbo would prob vaporize any water, or at least atomize it enough to cool down the intake charge, just like a water injection system does. i hae seen a r!c3 car here that has his stuck through the hood and he drives just fine...very funny though

[loner666]

yes the wraps help..i have driven in many bad storms already and had no problem..believe it or not i had a issue in the car wash with it but wasnt bad enough to hurt anything..just ran alittle funny for a minute but just fine after that

[gectek]

for who ever has this done already, do you have any issues with the air filter sucking up water?

i have seen NUMEROUS sts powered t/a s and cameros here in lubbock, and it floods alot, and they have no problem at all, if you are a bit squeamish about it, use the filter wrap, it helps

loner666: I might of asked the same question as turboberetta before, but yeah what are you running for tuning? and what year is your corsica?

My beretta is a 94. ODB1.5 bastard untuneable ecm. :P

same as you..POS 94 ECM..its handling it pretty well..95% of my driving is still "stock" to the ECM..i have 21lbs accel injectors, 255lph pump, and a RRFPR..but that all changes in the next few weeks because im upgrading to OBD2 so i can tune the damn thing..

[TurboBeretta]

The FMU's seem to work well for up to 8 psi or so. After that, other tuning methods are necessary. I have used Split Second's FTC1 with 42.5 lb/hr injectors to replace my old FMU. It runs better off idle and worse at idle (no computer tuning). There are a bunch of piggybacks that can be used to trick the ECU into providing the right fueling. Some of the piggybacks will even drive the injectors themselves.

Tim

What ratio of FMU did you use with your old setup? 8:1, 10:1, 12:1? Thanks

My air filter is in the fender. Without a fender liner, I couldn't drive in the rain. With a fender liner, a monsoon wouldn't be an issue.

thanks for the info

[TurboBeretta]

I have a 88 2.8 which is OBD1, so I just have to find the correct bin file? I have a 28-32 pin chip burner that I use for my crx. Is there anything else needed besides for the tgp tune. Also is there a different harness or anything I have to run?. Thanks for ur help

TurboBeretta: A lot of people running boost on 660 gm motors are using the old memcal computers with modified turbo grand prix code. A few are ODBII and using a power tuner/DHP to reflash the ecm. I think 89jyturbo is the only one who is running a turbo with just a FMU alone. If your beretta is 93 or older, you can get a burned memcal or burn your own with code. Check out www.v6z24.com a lot of those guys are running turbo 3400 swaps.

ur 3.4 DOHC has quite abit more power stock then a 3100..plus im only running 5psi right now my engine has just under 128,000miles on it and i havent touched the internals yet..and i cant tune the car so that limits me alot as well

stock i ran 16.8

What are you using for tuning? I'm still researching how I want to tune my car. I ran a FMU on my crx and it didn run great but it seems like alot of people are having good luck with these units on the GM v6 motors, or at least better than hondas. People are also telling me to run megasquirt but I'm not a fan of that either.

[gectek]

well i know that alot of the companies that sell sts turbos are good places to get custom work like TRT(texas rear turbo), they will do custom work for anything, including my GA when i do it
