So I was up at Turbonetics today and was discussing some things about the clear demand for a piggyback and some bigger injectors with their kit. Turbonetics has decided to produce Stage 1.5 for the Turbonetics kit. I wish I had a price for it but its in R&D as of today. The Stage 1.5 upgrade will include a user tunable EMS system (piggyback style but no cutting splicing, plug and play style) and some bigger injectors (most likely 510cc drop in plug in). With this you can take the boost and car up as high as the stock motor will allow (high 400s). This will of course be fully tested on no less then three cars starting next week. More info to come. You guys asked for it and Turbonetics is doing it...

 

Can use this kit on as an upgrade to my existing turbo?

 

Absolutely!!

 

Awesome, when it comes out, let us know.

 

You know I will

 

the 510cc injectors will work okay without a fuel return system ?

 

Yup, same as the 440s do on the Greddy.

 

I have the turbonetics kit, still haven't installed it. Think it might be possible to trade the new injectors from my kit for the new ones, and get a discount on whichever piggyback they go with due to not getting my ecu reflashed through them ?

 

Hmmm best thing to do is call Turbonetics and ask them..

 

Running 450whp+ without a return fuel system is playing with fire. Perhaps TN will consider including a simple tank based return fuel system...ala APS. I wouldnt even consider tuning a car to 450whp+ without a return fuel system, and rising rate FPR....regardless of injector size.

Even the BEST fulll standalone engine management systerm in the world is going to be fighting the dropping fuel pressure at the injector nozzle, and the tuning issues that result from that approach.

It's great they are in the R&D phase, so hopefully they will be open to some additional ideas. I wouldnt be surprised if they are already thinking along these same lines.

 

Well I'll bring it up to them..

 

That would be coool.... I got mine still sitting in the closet waitign for the New England SNow to go away!

MIA, what type of engine management setup are they going with? (if you're allowed to tell )

my plans for the coming year include a UTEC, an AAM fuel return system, and finally the Turbonetics kit, and capped off by a solid tune by my local dyno tuner MRC Motorsports

 

I am not allowed to tell yet...sorry. Needless to say it will be tuner friendly nad has worked on countless other kits recently..

 

Uggh...just got all my stage 1.5 parts myself (plus fuel return)!
I would have been interested in those 510 injectors. I went with 440's...felt 550s woul dbe too large for my needs.

 

SWEET.. Sign me up for the 510cc INJECTORS baby... lets try to hit the HIGH HIGH 400s!!!!

 

Interested in finding out if a kit that hasn't been shipped yet is upgradable to those specs ?

 

You know I'll be down. I've been holding out on buying any injectors/EMS for this reason alone.

 

I cant wait for more info.

 

Good choice.. Were actually working on drop in injectors and we have a left over APS FPR and return system we can try on your car if you wish to save some $$$$...
