First turbo project some advice needed
Hey guys,
I'm hoping to start my first turbo project in the next week or so I want to boost my Suzuki samurai with a 1.6 16v vitara motor in it. I use it for offroad competition s here in Ireland and as speed events are getting more popular here I need more power, I've been wanting to turbo something for ages and I firgure at least if I blow this up I don't depend on it for transport ;D. I've been researching for ages and I've no problem making the manifold I have my own own TIG and fab gear but I've never played with ecus or mapping before and above all I just want this to be a reliable set up low boost 6 to 8 psi at the most, Here's were it gets interesting for me I've read a write up on one of the off road Suzuki forums about a guy that boosted his and just used a rising rate pressure reg and has been running like this for a while no probs from reading on here it seems that FMUs are disliked obhiously stand alone is the best option or even a piggyback AFC but is this nesscary for a low boost set up will a FMU suffice and just keep an eye on it with a wideband keeping in mind this thing gets driven once a month if that. I would be very interested to hear peoples opinions on this |
An FMU can be adequate for low boost fuel. What are you doing for timing?

I have ordered a turbo manifold flange to start fabricating my manifold. i will order an fmu and wide band and see how i go for now with the base timing drop and 98 octane |
