I was curious about that f22 site-- I saw they had some stuff listed on ebay but i was weirded out by their cheap looking pixelated carbon fiber-ish decal thing. hmm any link to your setup and pics?

it still runs fine, i drive it daily but i don't beat it up. usually i just shift under 4000rpms but i do hit it a couple of times everyday. I talked to the guys at f22parts they seem pretty cool, but i dunno about their prices, high. i have the number for them if you want it pm me. i don't have any recent pictures of my setup readily available, here is a picture of my setup before i cleaned it up. and finished the dumptube. also i got the manifold powdercoated.

i'm glad someone is finally bringing this to light. i had a full kit but had to sell it to make rent for a month :( once i'm out of school however, a new fully built and boosted f22b2 project will be in the works and put up here. january 08, oh i cant wait

I cant reproduce the pic, or find it so it may be bullshit.

Im turboing a f22a6 in the upcoming week, and I cant wait.

I do know one thing, the stock F22b base maps work better then the F22a6 basemap. I tweaked an f22b map and ended up with a lot more low end pull on the butt dyno

I noticed that with my f22a1. The timing is really nice in the f22b low cam map. it keps power all the way up to 6500. atleast it feels like that anyway. And it only took some minor changes to get the A/F right to. Crome's injector multiplier worked well to. when I changed to the 510s it only needed changed like 1 point or 2 depending on if it was lean or rich.

I should have my turbo on in december. Can't feakin wait.

Re: Whats wrong with f-series?

Good stuff guys, I'm retarded excited about it, I think its gonna be badass. And all this enthusiasm for the F has really got me going. I just gotta find an engine and tranny first. If its not crazy high mileage and does a decent compression test i'm not going to worry about building/rebuilding it at first. I'll probably dummy up the turbo setup while the engine is out, and then do the whole swap with turbo at the same time. There goes my savings :8 but its all worth it ^-^
