Evo 3 16g Turbo

[98 GS-T]

I just got a evo 3 big 16g turbo for my eclipse gst is there anything else i would need when i install it like feul injectors ect??? ( got the install kit to)

No offense dude, but you should have thought that one through before you just went out and bought a turbo.

To answer your question though, yes, you will need support mods to run that turbo to any degree of its potential... with my big 16g (slightly smaller than your Evo III 16g) and FP2 cams I was hitting 100% IDC on the 450's on about 12 lbs of boost by like 6000 rpms I believe. Beforem you put the turbo on you should really do your research, here's a couple sites for you to check out:

ha thats funny i didnt spend any money on it i got it as a gift from my boy in fl who owns a shop before i moved back up here in nj. i havent had time to worry about it cause of school and work but now i have more times on my hand thars why i was wondering what else i would need to make it work up to its 100% patential. so if u kno what exactly i would need that would be great. Thanks

Ooh, in that case very nice... think he can hook me up too?

To run it to its 100% potential, you are going to need quite the laundry list of parts. Here's a pretty good guide of what you'll need: http://www.dsmtuners.com/sub.php?page=1gdrag

ya thats what i said mm i havent been to fl in a while i was spouse to go down but family shit so i had to stay here but anyways and shop close to my house ( auto creations ) said that i would only have to get a walbro 255 fuel pump and it would run fine for now and then later on get injectors and tune it he said i would only have to do that when i wanted to run more boost. what u think ?

I got that turbo on my 96 gst and i have 550cc injectors and a 190 fuel pump and some other stuff look at my signature block im running it at 12 psi i strongly urge u to get it tuned it will run really rich i just put the apexi 2 in it and waiting to get it tuned and putting it on the dino also make sure to get a wideban o2 senser and a egt gage. listen to the guys on hear they know there stuff.

i cant understand u man all im telling u is if u do uprgade th turbo like the other guy said u will hit fuel cut so your going to have to upgrade your fuel system to and when u do that u will run rich till u get it tunned and your car will eat your gas like nothing i am having that prob. until it is tunned so ethier way u will have to get it tunned one day if u want it to run good also make sure u get those gages i talked about if you dont have them.

Can you jokers try posting in English, please? I'd rather punch myself in the sack than read another post along these lines.

That said, the rule is "supporting mods first", not "what can I get away with".

Yeah, you MIGHT be able to "get by" for a while without the right supporting mods, but why risk a motor?

Read Thor's links to the Tuners upgrade path.

BARE FUCKING MINIMUM: 190lph, 550cc injectors, AFC (or compensated chip), and a logger.

Did I mention a logger? Wait, let me try again...GET A LOGGER. All the mods in the world are useless if yo have no clue what they are doing.

ya i have 650cc injectors 255 walbro fuel pump and the turbo and install kit i think that will work and i might as well tune it. so tha will be fine then ?

[LandoAWD]

Nevermind.

Good luck.
