Want to build costom turbo kit. Need advice from boosted guys!

Did you use new bearings for your build?

[Scubaru Steve]

the higher a/r will easily add top end and help increase boost, you will lose spool, as in it will take a few more revs to spool the turbo.
id go with a .63.

And yes I am increasing turbo boost because that is the whole point of getting enough fuel to support it.
I was beyond maxing the stock in tank fuel pressure regulator at 12psi

I am running into a new problem in trying to get to 15psi. It looks like my current .48AR turbine turbo will not flow enough air to maintain 15psi. I am getting to 16psi now, but as rpm,s go up boost is falling off. Time for a new turbo and a new manafold.

This is what Im liking

Plus a tial external wastegate and a .64AR hot side turbo with a new custom 3 inch exhaust.

Yes, I bought toyota bearings. One of them came on a slow boat from japan. Could not find one in entire US. Also replaced the rear main seal and two O-rings between the block and upper oil pan. And U will need another two O-rings between the oil pump/front cover and block. Dont forget head gasket, valve cover gasket, intake and exhaust manafold gaskets.

Yes thats the plan. And I definitly need the external wastegate. The internal gate does not move fast enough when cranking up the boost.

That's closer to my set up -- you'll love it.

I am having trouble tuning for above 16psi with my FIC. I believe it is ignition problem. Above 16psi I am getting a nasty missfire between 3500 and 4500 where my boost is getting to 18-19 psi. Still working on it, I havent givin up yet. I will try to retard timing a little more at high boost to resolve this. Any tuners out there run into this? I noticed that tuning with the FIC is getting tough as boost climbs. My AFR's are fluctuating a lot within the same cell on my fuel map.

[Bluevitz-rs]

has anyone else ever gone this far with an FIC? 16psi is starting to get pretty serious.

Or try some simple things like close the gap up a thou or two on the plugs

[cali yaris]

pimp, what gap are you using, and which plugs?

[pimp my yaris]

I am running NGK BKR7E plugs gapped at .020"

[Bluevitz-rs]

Have you tried a bigger gap? .020" is getting pretty small compared to the stock at what, 32 thou? It's possible the spark isn't big enough to ignite the mixture properly

you got to stabilize you AFR. give it some more fuel make run 11.0-10.5 AFR then work your way back. you should not be misfiring like that if you have the proper fuel deleavery system in you car.

So Brian raises a good question at least from a curiosity standpoint...how many PSI of boost is the AEM FIC supposedly good for?

The on-board map sensor is good for ~22psi.

MAP or MAF?

[Bluevitz-rs]

The AEM has a built in MAP sensor

Pimp...I thought you were standalone man its crazy a fic at that boost haha looks like it works pretty great for just a piggyback...

you make me double think about going standalone...

Do not double think go standalone.

I made a mistake in thinking my AFR was fluctucation. It turns out the were fluctuating because of the missfire. When the missfire occurs the afr went rich because of unburned fuel in the exhaust. I made some progress and its running pretty good after retarding timing a bit farther. Its pulling hard on the highway WOW!! Also Im going to need a new boost guage. Also I seriously need a external wastegate setup. I need to organize a Turbo 5K walk for my car. Gotta raise funds.
I called Ptunning about the turbo manafold I was looking at, and they said they have none in stock and it would take at least a month to make one. I was a little dissapointed. I am holding off on the order for now and rethinking this.
