notonp Member 8 Member For: 16y 3m 21d Posted 30/10/15 06:26 PM Author Share Posted 30/10/15 06:26 PM I'm assuming if I run the turbo map sensor etc I can't just put in a sct tuner designed for a factory turbo..boost control??I have a turbosmart 7psi. .running turbo fuel pump..

This is 100% necessary as getting a "generic" or "plug-in" tune can be very dangerous and expensive (broken engines/turbo's/gearboxes).The thing with most good tuners is they may not tune your car if it's not "set up" correctly for making power (e.g. if the conversion from N/A to T is incomplete).The rising rate will quickly make your fuel pump lean out - so don't do that at all - leave the factory fuel regulator in place. Upgrade the injectors and MAP sensor AT the tuner as it may not drive at all with replaced injectors and/or MAP sensor. The fuel pump can be replaced before going to the tuner.An AFR gauge is unlikely to get you any decently useful information (it'll just be a light show) if it's not an expensive wide-band replacement one (new bung and sensor installed into your dump pipe) as the factory oxygen sensor is "narrow-band" hence it's not in a useful voltage range for a gauge - it's only useful to the ECU.There are more issues to tackle, also...Have a read of the "sticky" posts in this section about going from N/A to Turbo for more information ->http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/forum/142-ford-40l-na-discussion/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notonp Member 8 Member For: 16y 3m 21d Posted 31/10/15 02:38 AM Author Share Posted 31/10/15 02:38 AM I have been running the adjustable rate of gain fuel regulator and wideband sensor for over 6 months now...running up too ten psi with external..I now have a factory turbo and manifold too go on.. (current set up just welded flange too factory manifold..as you do)mixture control at the moment is not perfect but I keep it rich if anything..if a flash tuner can communicate with my ecu I am prepared too try it as I can make.sure mixtures are good..has to be better than what I have now especially considering timing control which I don't have..I have a spare engine which cost next too nothing..I'm very surprised I haven't needed it, even had the downpipe red hot..so will a sct tuner load the tune if I wire in a turbo map sensor..one guy reckons he already done it but really?
