what are my fellow 420A-T guys tuning with... to make sure your running rich enough...and have the right amount of retarded timing??? what will i need to tune my car with ( 7 psi ) ...Thanks...

I believe if you are running 8psi or less you won't need any tuning. if you run more than that you will need to upgrade your fuel system. I believe a lot of people use megasquirt or AEM EMS. I use HKS F CON V PRO, which I don't recoment because it took forever to get it running right, but is well worth it now.

i have a 7 lb. wastegate... no tuning...? one of my friends keeps telling me i'll blow it up because of the timing being to advanced..but i dont want this to go into a timing topic / thread... i need to know what i need to tune to not run lean with a 7 lb. wastegate...but by the time it runs threw the intercooler and piping it will prolly be 6 or so psi....what fuel mods are seriously needed? this is the only area i am worried about with my whole turboing process...any help is greatly appreicated !!! NO angerness...lol i've been searching...i can't find the info i need... i need a person to help whos had this problem and acclomplished it... i do not need to blow a motor over a small issue once again thanks

Try some searching on 2GNT.

Seriously, this is a very common/easy question and if I tried, I could find the answer in about 2 min if I didn't know it already.

totaleclipse_05 · 10-19-2007, 12:54 AM

Look at my Photo Gallery for my setup.

Get used to 2GNT and the way it's set up. It is THEE BEST resource for information for the 420a hands down. ANYTHING you want to find out, it's there.

tonyspeth · 10-19-2007, 01:04 AM

whats a FCD ,..are you running fine? how much psi are you running? do you just have a air/fuel guage to check up on if your running lean? thanks again !

frew · 10-19-2007, 01:23 AM

FCD is a fuel cut defender if im not mistaken...and 30secs on google got me this link for ya TurboXS Fuel Cut Defender for 5V Sensors FCD Performance Racing Parts

i knwo your getting frustrated but seriously you can search where ever you find the simplest and you will pop up sumthing that will help you

tonyspeth · 10-19-2007, 01:40 AM

Seriously, have you tried searching at all?

5 sec google search on "fuel cut defender"
DIY FCD Project

Plenty of info about what one does and even how to make your own.

10-15 seconds worth of searching, typed "fuel" into the search:
http://www.team-2g.com/mitsubishi-ec...l-systems.html

Put in some effort into searching, we aren't here to spoon-feed.

Thanks guys." .... why can't more people who know how to / did turbo their 420a help out more like him.

Maurice'sRS-T · 10-19-2007, 09:03 PM

If you went with stand alone system, or even a piggy back system, you would be able to control every thing a lot more precisely, that would be my recomendation. I went with a full stand alone system, so I don't have any experience with anything else, sorry its not much help.

walbro 255lph hi pressure pump
12:1 FMU
Missing Link (search for it) or an FCD, they accomplish the same thing different ways. One is mechanical and one is a voltage clamp

that's all you need fuel wise and to prevent fuel cut. You don't need anything to tune with, you can't tune anything with those parts, just get a few gauges so you can keep your eyes on things and don't go past 7psi with stock injectors. Once you upgrade injectors it's a whole new ballgame.

Now read on 2gnt until your eyes bleed and then ask us some legitimate detailed questions that prove you searched/read instead of asking stupid bs questions that a five year old can find the answers to. Oh and don't listen to your retard friend with a honda, he knows nothing about these engines.

Hey man, just because I don't spoon feed the answers to you doesn't means that I'm not here to help. The questions you are asking are very basic questions that I have heard more times than I can count and I know with some effort you can find the answers to your questions.

Have you looked at the Wiki page of 2GNT? It is set up very nice with all the info you need. Start reading there until your eyes bleed like cs82685 said.

FPR=Fuel Pressure Regulator
FCD=Fuel Cut Defender
FMIC=Front Mount InterCooler

There are some freebies for you.

tonyspeth · 10-20-2007, 01:28 AM

thatnks guys i will read...total i know what fmic fpr mean it was examples...the fcd was a new thing sry i didn't search that ...
