Hey has anyone installed a Full Race T3/T04E set up on a B16A? If so could you tell me what's involved in the install? Thanks.

If you are going full race, I wouldnt use a T3T04. It has its potential but I'm assuming that since it will be a "full race", you should go with a 60-1 or bigger. And to add to that, the motor shold also be built, especially the bottom end. Tuning will have to be very extensive. A stand alone is a MUST!

Alot of work and preperation, not to mention alot of money, my advice pay a professional or expect alot of problems.

The company Full-Race makes the best turbo manifold. The welding is top notch!

Yeah I think their manifolds are trick. I'm trying to hunt down a boost referenced FPU, any idea where I can get one?

Are you talking about a boost dependent FMU (Fuel Management Unit)? If so, it's all over ebay and H-T.

No, I'm talking about a boost sensitive, or referenced, fuel pressure regulator. All I could find at e-bay was manual fpr's.

yeah^ same thing. It raises fuel pressure when boost is sensed right?

Ebay or www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/ classifieds. Search for Vortech FMU. Honestly, you're better off using something electronic. FMU's are cheap but it's really a "band aid" way of controller your fuel. The boost transition sucks. Get a Hondata, AEM EMS, or GReddy E-manage if you plan on a "race" set-up. FMU's will not give you the tuning that capability of a race set-up. Trust me, I've done it using the FMU set-up with a 12:1 disk. It was horrible compared to my VAFC hack. Goodluck :yes:
