I know what size stock injectors are im a probe guy myself, just curious why you were still running them.

I ripped a turbo off of my cousins probe :P That car was junk by the time I got near. Looks like you're doing some good ---- with yours, though

so far at 14psi im reading 11.5 a/f under boost and around 14.7 a/f at idle and normal driving.Ive talked to a few of the more knowledgable guys on the forums, and i should be good for about 16psi on stock injectors.I should have no problem hitting 20+ with the 460cc injectors and taking out some timing.

As long as your keeping an eye on the wideband, i just dont trust the stock injectors for anything but the stock turbo. Your build is similar to mine. Minus the megasquirt

yeah i was kind of leery using the stock injectors too, but so far so good.Im goin to play it safe and leave the car alone boost wise till i get some bigger injectors or possibly megasquirt.Only thing holding me back, is a helping hand close to me that can help tune it.My goals over winter are to clean up the engine bay,get some kybs with some decent springs,throw my FD's on,jethot the manifold and move up to 3" turboback with a cutout.Im goin to install my msd digital 6 today and test out the launch control.I only get about 7psi in 1st gear :'(

i was told the manifold i have is the better jgs log because it has the cut flange so it wont pull the studs out.Ill be upgrading the studs to 10mm studs over winter, but id like to have somebody make me a ramhorn style manifold.Maybe ill just buy a honda one off here and weld it to my head flange :-\

im just north of milwaukee, wisconsin.I noticed your in ohio.I remember seeing your black 1g on probetalk before.Im contemplating going with the evo intercooler, ive got the huge JRC setup on mine and i know its robbing me some spool time.I love buying cars that somebody else built, then to turn and pull it all off and do it right the second time around.
