first of all thanks for reposting the turbo, a sticky above shows a throttle body cleaning, plus a opened up port, don't know if it's helpful for more air buts it's there if you need it.

Great project on the torbo and great job.

John

thanx very much this is ganna help bunches. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

at 5 lbs the boost forces through the injector seals and the MAF does not like it a bit. nor does the ecm.
if the sportage intake manifold had better injector ports to seal injectors it could hold more boost . like i said the ecu-ecm is not set up for turbo but under 5 lbs it runs great the best set up so far for ecu would be the 626 BP turbo ecu and with the maf. still working on that.

for now turbo is off and setting/welding up the intake manifold.


just bigger after market cams would be great but ya its a kia,
kia and custom go hand in hand.

I think the auzzie ecm have a higher octan chip then here in the USA would their ecm work better with the turbo ?

will mazda injectors work, the engine is mostly the same

Incorrect. Aussie ECU is the same - calibrated for 87 RON.

That's why powerchip can do upgrades to suit our local "standard" of 91 RON and give us more HP.

And higher. I got the GOld 98 Powercip in mine and run 98 octane fuel.

Give Powerchip a call or email. Adskia who now has his higly modified Sporty for sale had his ECM "custom tuned" to suit his engine mods he had done. Some may remember he was contemplating a turbo. This did not happen but he still had a highly modified motor built with custom cams, head work etc.

The end result is that Powerchip may be able to sort you out with a programme tune to suit what you want to achieve.

What abouts are they asking for those power chips? 98 Octane?? wow.. premium where i'm at is no higher than 93 octane.. I could get race gas but that's 7/gal.. :P
