I almost did the same thing as you. Still getting the MM/BHR kit tho after some research. I just gotta be patient with it being released, and thats the hard part.

I got the type 1 Kit, I bought it used from ImrTommy

Scott and Sarah have been very kind to me (well, not in a financial way) but they do help me out with everything I need including some parts that weren't there when I bought it

the turbo looks a bit huge to be honest, I don't know if it would fit if I don't put on the mazsport motor mount, which from what Tommy tells me, makes your car feel like an integra.......so I definitly will not put that on......

 

I had some concerns about the turbo size myself. Not saying it's not a nice kit--because it is...I just felt it wasn't the right one for me and my quick spool, low psi, high hp/tq needs.

Dang it, why's this in the lounge?! No free posts for me I guess.

 

perhaps taj did the install in his lounge

 

yes, the turbo size is huge, it's for peak hp and peak hp only is my guess, from what Tommy told me, it's gonna need MM or Scott or Ray to make this thing remotely fast down low, but as off now, full spool @ 5k rpm...... down shifting I guess

but hey, thats actually good for daily driving

 

blah blah blah -

scribed because some where along the lines i'm gonna participate in getting this thing rolling around california...

 

Taj, is your car an auto or MT?

 

Manual transmission

 

you going AP or int x for tuning ?

 

most likely the INT-X, since I heard somewhere that the type 1 doesn't work very well with MAF tuning and uses MAP......(correct me if I'm wrong)

I might buy 1 from jeff and ask him to tune it for me when I head out to AZ though

 

I have a brand new int x for sale (cheap) if you want one

 

I already have one dummy :D

 

When are you coming to AZ Taj?
Don't try to avoid me. I'll hunt you down.

 

as soon as Ray gets shop up I guess, since no one around here can do tune

 

The AP will work with the kit just fine.
Its the backwards injector install (which you just did) that screws it up.
If you still have the injectors out, put the two red ones back in the primary spot (on the housing by themselves) and then put the next biggest where you have the red ones in the picture.
Put the biggest injectors in the P2 (outside of the 4 injector rail).
Use this thread for reference if needed:

Doing it this way will make it run almost normally with no engine management at all, as long as you stay out of the throttle and drive smoothly.

 

Stay at it taj!!! I'm rootin' for ya!!! you crazy numbnut

 

but, this is what mazsport says to do in their manual........ no joke........

 

^ as you can see, I definitly am about 95% on cue with the picture

the other 5% being mine is way dirtier

 

I know what they say. Why do you think I'm telling you NOT to do that?

 

well thanks for telling me AFTER I put them IN!!!, omfg if I have to re open the manifold and everything, I might as well just commit suicide

 

The way Scott has them in the diagram works (basically) with the way he stages stuff in the Int-X.
The "normal" way (which I described above) will work with ANY engine management and is a better way to do it if you like your car to idle and transition properly - especially while you have no engine management.

I know you are kinda new to this stuff, but you will get faster at it.
I can usually do an injector swap in about 2 hours with breaks and no injuries.

 

well then I guess I'll let you do it when I get to AZ, and then you can tune it too

where do I make appointment?

 

Why don't you take a trip up to Oakland on the 2nd of August and take part in the dyno day?

 

because I dont have money on 2nd of august....
