Well its been a while since I have been in the whole turbo dodge mood and decided to get my sundance running again. It's been sitting in the driveway for about 2 years with a bad fuel pump and a broken rim.
I haven't been keeping up with current trends and am not to familiar with the custom cals so was wondering if someone could fill me in on a few things.
Ill first start out with the current setup:
1990 Plymouth Sundance RS
2.5l T1/ 5 speed manual
Balance Shafts removed
Stock Mitsu Turbo w/ 3 inch exhaust from the downpipe back.
stock I/C out of a Daytona
1st Gen. Talon BOV
Cone style Air filter
Stock fuel pump and injectors. Added adjustable fuel pressure reg.
Zener diode on the map sensor.
Grainger valve set to 14psi
Current Plans for the car:
Upgrade turbo to Garret.
Performance fuel pump(already purchased)
Higher flowing injectors
A tad more boost.
Now here is where my questions come in?
What exactly does a custom cal offer over the stock computer?
When running a custom cal do you give back operation of the boost control to the computer or is still determined by a manual boost controller?
With the setup that I have planned is it really worth purchasing a custom cal. or can I just tune the car my self, and still have good drivability?
What size injectors?
If anyone can think of something that I may have missed in my current plans please feel free to chime in. My plan for the car is going to be every other day driver, and a few trips to the strip every now and then.
TIA
