N/A EJ22 turbo conversion

Post by fishheadback »

Ok, this is what i have going so far. I am going to run a tubular 4 to 1 WRX manifold and up-pipe, stock WRX turbo, 3in downpipe, WRX top mount intercooler with blow-off valve, 10lbs flywheel, WRX street/strip clutch, iridium plugs, and before long MSD DIS 2 ignition. I know my timing is going to have to be retarded around 20 degrees, but what I dont know what to do is with boost. From what I know, WRX wastegate actuators can only go down to about 12lbs, and I cant run 12lbs of boost. Will a boost controller let me crank it down to the 5 to 9 pounnds I need? And also I plan on running a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, and maybe a Apex-i S-AFC. I'm also not sure exactly how much larger injectors I need. I would really like to not go any more than 25% larger than stock because tuning will be so much more difficult. Will that give me the adjustability I need for fuel managment? If anyone has any good advice regarding these topics I would greatly appreciate it. Wish me luck on my project.

please only post your question in one forum.

If you want your post here rather then the turbo forum, let me know, and I'll move it.

I'm going to close this post, so any answers/discussions can be kept in one spot
