on an mr2, there are certainly some advantages, as a good fmic set up isn't really possible. There's no debate about air/water coolers working... they do... it's just that with the exception of a few...
Water spray on the intercooler(as is the case with the evo's afaik), water injection, and an air/water intercooler are three COMPLETELY different concepts.
Can't say which is better without knowing what kind of driving you're doing. Air/water coolers have a greater potential, however, there are only a few situations where this great potential is...
why would you chip your ecu now and then downgrade to a piggyback down the road? Something like uberdata or crome will be more capable than any piggyback set up.
why on earth are people suggesting to change fuel rails? The stock one will flow WAY more than you're going to ever see if you're questioning the need to upgrade the injectors.
did this smoking issue develop after the turbo was installed? I'd be looking at the quality of the tune if it did. If you're causing damage, obviously the tune isn't very good, and I certainly...
they aren't as strong as the b series ones, and the d15 non vtec rods and such aren't the best... but the d15b, d16z6 and d16y1/8 internals aren't too bad. They're certainly a lot better than most...
jrsc suffers from horribly low adiabatic efficiency(means that in the compression process, a lot of energy is converted to heat instead of used for compressing the air) and are...
I don't understand why people are throwing out random suggestions. The CEL comes on to tell you generally what the problem is. It's silly to guess with that information available. Just wait until...
12.85 @ 110 with 1.24 bar boost(assuming that's on slicks) is by no means impressive. Certainly goes to show how unrealistic such a set up is as far as traction is concerned.
vtec cross over selection is made using the dyno... there's pretty much one correct spot... it's not just randomly chosing points and seeing if it works...
take one of the ballasts and run it directly to the battery... just to test if the ballasts even work... be sure there is a bulb connected to it though.
a properly sized turbo on stock internals can run 10 psi without a problem, assuming you have a proper engine management set up that has been tuned. Most kits DO NOT come with a proper engine...
