I'm about to consider the SP61 with stock bottom end. Plenty of other upgrades, have an H3 trim now. Healthy car. Do you know what your power level with the SP is? To the OP... MONEY PIT!:biglaugh: It's not just about the "total cost" to build one of these... it's about the STEADY...

Hey, thanks!:biglaugh: I've got the itch to be driving a REAL machine again SOOOO BAAAAD!!! The car was really coming back together (just getting it running... and basic maintenance stuff...) and now some more serious refreshments are necessary. Although this car has ALWAYS run like a...

Wow! That's... like... IT! Similar ratings and setup. I think I even pulled a 387HP rating with the early G-Tech once... and within 200lbs of proper weight input. Mine didn't creep over 15 by much, unless the conditions were just right, and I ran Blendzall additive in the fuel or high-tes...

Thank you for the tip... I'm looking at that right now. It is also one of the EARLY (original) AIC with DIALS that push in to lock. (Like my current stuff! CHOICE!) I'll keep you all posted... but WITH it, I'm thinking 500whp is a non-issue even with the limits of the P-FCON.:naughty...

That's my recollection as well! I'm gonna dig up my handful of earlier catalogs... -crisp

That may be possible... with the stock turbo it could still peak at 15psi briefly... but with the H3, I always blew 15-16 even occasionally 17psi through the STOCK elbow, and held it at full-spool right until the shifts, no sweat. I'm pumped about what happens with the larger elbow/DP I'm...

On another point, I DID run 15psi for YEARS with the H3 spool and stock injectors using the EVC and FCON w/FCD... and later the VPC... then 550's most recently. It ran like a raped ape, with just a LITTLE SURGE at top in higher gears at 15-16psi... but NONE at 14psi. I think that's about the...

I can tell you for a FACT that at about 12+psi this thing would fall FLAT on it's FACE when I had BOTH the stock turbo dialed up, AND when I ran the H3 trim at any setting above about 10psi... which would also STALL sometimes when you HIT it... which I discovered when the FCD GROUND wire was...

Okay, let's see... first off, THANK YOU ALL for this thread!!!:bowdown: I'm an "arm-chair" tuner these days... and mine was a progression that goes back to 1996, when the car was procured WITH the PFC-FCON w/FCD, HKS IC/plumbing, HKS exhaust, EVC, TEMS, NOS (dual 10lbs. with heat/fogger...

Yes, HKS AIC unit it was! I have all that old catalog literature from HKS since I was into it already back when they were "current". I've often considered obtaining that unit, and also the IPM (Injection Pulse Monitor) just to round out the array! lol! I'm looking to see how far I can...

Dude, another great insight. I still have OOOOLD HKS literature on stuff, but lots of what comes up in here goes so much deeper. ...btw, hks_trd, I just noticed... your username descriptor seems to mean "healing by death"...:: alky :: -crisp

GrimJack, I'm suspecting you are meaning Fcon rom BEYOND the 550cc written chip? (And injectors beyond the 550cc std upgrade?) I'm thinking the mathmatical limits keep that level of fuel at JUST SHY of 500 to the wheels... hence the need for something "custom" in the Fcon? (Sorry...

SS, Thank you for that affirmation. The finest quality in raising the "bar" for us all. (Yeah, pun INtended!:biglaugh:) I'll see where I can get with these old classics components, and let you all know how it comes together along the way. -crisp

Hmmm... late realization that I probably SHOULD have posted this in the "piggyback eng. mgmt." section... my bad. -crisp

So it would seem the FCD IS redundant with the VPC? (Wonder how I ever missed that... and have NO issues with BOTH still running?) Any thoughts on my situation? BTW, highly appreciate the insights from all posts in here...;) -crisp

^^^ 87witmore... I don't come across too many who even KNOW what the SBC is anymore! You'll want to be sure to get the TRIG button with that unit! I mounted mine up in the far left corner by the windshield, where my left hand (usually just below there, on the steering wheel) can deftly POP it...

Thanks, I have my original Fcon from back in the early '90s... still working perfect! Here's some of the setup: ^^^ The SBC (Scramble Boost Controller) is the Cats Meow! A whole story in itself!:biglaugh: Also running HKS IC and plumbing and the SSBV and 550cc's from HKS too...

Thank you for the leads, GrimJack. Always enjoy your input when I see it. I was at this over a dozen years ago when I picked up this car... and I've stuck with the HKS progression all the way through, so hate to change it now. Kinda nostalgic for me, since I lived in Japan when the EVC and...

Just catching up on this discussion... I'm running all manner of HKS stuff, including the ORIGINAL EVC, VPC, PFC-FCON, GCC, SBC, AND the FCD STILL! I don't know if the FCD is now "redundant" or "unnecessary", but it's still wired in. H3 trim hybrid in the CT-26 pushing about 16psi, and very...
