It cant be that bad if turbonetics uses it could it?

 

[JeremyH]

Dont ask me, ask Lito. Im personaly not a big fan of turbonetics either lol

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Didnt abdullagt have issue with his turbonetics setup hitting his fan?

Nah, mines an hp kit. The reason mine was hitting is because of the turbo itself. The exhaust housing on it is really big, not wide, but taller than a normal one would be.

This is with the radiator moved forward slightly too.

 

[JeremyH]

Gotcha, when you gonna install the new shroud/fans? Did you see mine?

 

[AbdullaGT500]

I actually got mine and the little tabs holding on the motor were broken, but I had to get my car out of the way so we epoxy'd them and put them in. It cleared up ALOT of room for sure!

When youre tuner tunes the car for boost it will have a built in parameter for boost cut. When the MAP sensor reads the target value set by the tuner, it will cut ignition. It feels like youre hitting a rev limiter.
Its an extremely good saftey feature.

Its still important to watch boost though, you dont want to set boost cut just above target boost because there is often a boost spike when you have a big engine pushing through what is proportionally a small turbo.
If boost cut is too low youll hit it all the time when the weather starts to get cold, so you have to set it a little high.

Its good to give yourself some headroom. Have the car tuned all the way up to boost cut,. and then bring the boost down a little bit in case of spikes, creeping, etc,

Where is the MAP sensor located on a S197?

It's not, we dont have a map lol, we have a maf and frps.


I have a feeling he was part of the tuner crowd before he came here...

I know this already. I was more or less trying to make a point that people should be very carefull of the advice they get (and give) on a forum. There are some people that believe everything they read in print as the truth. I think that the gentleman that was talking about a MAP sensor may have more knowledge with some import cars that do use a "boost cut". These Mustangs have no such thing. Be very carefull about trying to help someone out with the wrong information. BTW, like others have said, don't cheap out on a wastegate or the turbo. If you look around you will see that the cheap turbos that come with the Boost Brothers kit have been know to blow apart. How can you think that 1200.00 worth of parts is going to perform or last as a 5000.00 kit would.

I believe it's next to the water temp sensor

Figured you were lol

I tuned a Boost Brothers kit on a 94 Mustang Gt with a 5.0L.... kit was cheap as dirt. Made ok power for the price, the welds and stuff looked ok but 2 days after the dyno, the turbo took a dump.

 

[1lowtoy]

Funny you say that Eric, I have a 95 GT at the shop with the same kit. We have it installing a new engine. When you get to take one apart you really get to see how shitty the kit is put togther. It seems like the kit didn't work out so well for your guy, the way I figure thats about 600.00 a day. When the turbo went south did it take the motor with it?

 

[Eric Brooks]

No, the motor had other issues though. Low budget build. GT40P heads, etc.
