Topgunz - air to air upgrade

turtle64b

Where do you guys order all your parts from? I've used Z1 for the parts that I've purchased so far (all theirs anyways haha).

Thanks for the replies! Medium term?, honestly, I'd like to get to about the conservative limit for the 7AT... It was tough talking the wife into the SC and current upgrades, so that'll have to suffice until I get a real job in a few years and can afford to upgrade the tranny and bottom end for longer term goals.

I figure I'll heed the advice and go with the CJM fuel system S1-SE, I think it is, and try to pick up a set of ID1000s, but how high can the 340 fuel pump go? I'm not sure how much I can go "a little over-budget" before she gets wary haha.

I know that you gotta have a money set away for just in case, especially boosted, so I don't want to use too much of that, you know? The counter-argument of course is buy it now so it doesn't fail haha. I'm tryin' my best here.

If you are staying conservative for your stock 7AT, you can probably just stick with what stillen gives you. I am only running a walbro 255lph pump and 600cc injectors (came with my Gamma kit - think this is the same for the Stillen kit, right?) on my TT setup and maxed out at 538whp before I ran out of injector... tuner dialed it back a little from there to 520whp.

As far as who to order from, supporting the vendors here will usually get your the best price (as a forum member) and also supports the forum... If I am buying brand new stuff I usually shop at Z1 and they have always taken great care of me.. any fuelling components I buy directly from CJM because he is one of the best sponsors on the forum and I want to support him.

I'm running the Stillen provided 255 pump and 600cc injectors and the duty cycle is at 75% so you should be fine. Talk to Charles at CJM (great guy) and see what he says. His products are top notch!!!

If I was doing it all over I would probably have gotten at least 750cc injectors to give me a little more safety once I get to my power goal but I think I will be fine in the long run. I have 5K miles on my car since the SC install and other than a bad fuel pump early on and a bad throttle cable everything has been great. Expect a few gremlins during your install. They are most always there but can be gotten rid of with a little work.

Good luck and please, start a build thread so that we can help you out if needed.

I'm sorry to bring in some noob questions so late in the game, but on the Z1 and CJM websites, ID725, 850, and 1000 injectors are all the same price. Is there any reason that I shouldn't just buy the 1000s? I also intend on getting CJM's S1-SE fuel system and I just wanted to order it all at once. I'll start my build thread probably tomorrow with an inventory when the SC kit arrives. Also, are there any coupon codes associated with the forum for CJM? I'll buy from them regardless, just based on feedback here, but just wondering. Thanks!

Get the 1000cc injectors. The larger the size the harder it can be to get low duty cycle situations dialed in -- like idle... but it can(and should) be done properly, and that's what you pay your tuner to do.

Never noticed them the same price before but given that they are I'd go 1000's. That said, my understanding is the 850 and 1000 were replaced over the winter by the new 1050 injectors so maybe double check with Charles on what is available.

Go for the newer 1050x series. Quite a few improvements over the 1000 series. Cost about 10% more though.

I have these on now and it starts + idles like it was still an N/A, also largely due to Seb's help of course, even as a pure SD tune.

TBatt

The additional pulley kits are selling faster than I can make them to the point that I have oversold by one kit. One person ordered two kits and I forgot that.........I have parts ordered for three more so two kits will be available next week. Back to the lathe.

Thanks guys!

CJM S1-SE fuel kit ordered as well as the ID1050X's... Time for the wife to get a job haha. Or kill me for the insurance... lol. But really maybe...

Also, my Stillen base kit has arrived, starting build thread tonight. Work won't officially commence until Togunz A2A arrives, TBatt's pulley mod, and/or the fuel system arrives. Thank you all for your help this far and thank you so much for any help coming in the future!

Where did y'all get your Tial BOV and associated parts? Tial doesn't sell direct and I wanna make sure I get all the right parts. Thanks!

-Brett

TopgunZ

From me. It's an option with the a2a.

Just tell me what color you want.

I made three more spacers last night so as soon as the shipment of belts and idlers comes in I'll be ready to ship more kits first of next week.

Does anyone know if there will be a problem fitting the A2A intercooler if I already have a 19 row trans cooler and 25 row oil cooler. From the photos I've seen, the intercooler goes in front of them and the crash bar is removed to provide room.

I'm ready to go A2A.

Do not delete the crash bar as it's there for an important reason. You need a crash bar! To make enough room and give my A to A intercooler some clearance my shop removed a few mm of the inside of the stock crash bar and TIG seam welded it so it would still be rigid and do it's job, if ever required.
