Thread: N/A SR20 bolt on setup + (Stock ECU with SAFC?)

Setup is just like mines minus the cams and .5 compression. I would like to see what your setup will put down.

^EDIT: I have that on the car right now.




^Have you dyno'ed your car yet?

i made 160 with a 2" hotshot header and now i have a ceramic 2.5 but no dyno. Im pretty sure you can make 170.

^You made that without cams? If so this gets me very excited. I can't wait to bolt everything up and drop it in. The UK is suppose to be rated at 148-150 because of the compression. I was going to boost this motor, but I though I would come out better having it in my daily. My goal from the start was 170-175WHP.

This thread was brought to my attention... Let me ask you a question MR-4Door-SR20DE.

What are you willing to put up with in a daily driver?

Edit - I'll give you a list, check all that apply.

[ ] Imperfect cold start
[ ] Imperfect warm start
[ ] Imperfect hot start
[ ] Engine bucking on throttle lift
[ ] Engine bucking on throttle application
[ ] Engine bucking during engine breaking at low rpm threshold
[ ] Lower fuel economy (city)
[ ] High idle
[ ] Hunting idle
[ ] ...

1.) I didn't want it to be crazy loud so I choose a good reso and cat.
2.) I choose BC2's to have a nice idle
3.) Need more options on E-Management.
4.) I still want to get around 27-30 miles a gallon. Maybe 32-33 highway.

^What exactly do you mean? I didn't want to go all out so I decided to keep the head and bottom end as is. I'm more interested in GOOD tune after I looked over the things you were working on in your thread. What do you think my setup is capable of to the wheels with the proper management suitable for my setup?

See the list in my previous thread and get back to me.

185 WHP would be my guess. Possibly more, I'm not familiar enough with those cams.

^Ewwww.........None of that sounds daily driver friendly. Low fuel economy in the city around 23-25 at the lowest would be pushing it.

You want a Calum ECU then. I hate to say it (because I love a full EMS) but you're going to want to keep the factory idle settlings, deceleration enrichment, acceleration enrichment, rev limit, closed-loop fuel delivery and all the other great factory goodies the stock ECU has. The Calum (as far as I know) lets you keep all that, yet gives you control over the open-loop fuel delivery and ignition timing.

The next best option I'd say for you would be an AEM PnP unit, but that's a distant, distant option.
