fuel filter, ct-26, egr system, intercooler

[89Turbo7M]

does the stock fuel filter have a .375 hose barbs?

what is better 50 trim or 54 trim for ct-26 without upgrading the fuel injectors etc.

egr system good to get rid of?

good intercooler to get for direct bolt on with no modifications 450- 500hp plus?

50-trim is not much larger than stock at all.. leave the egr
why need a 500hp+ ic when you are not upgrading injectors and only lookin at 50 and 54 trim ct's?

technically you can use sayy a 57 trim on stock injectors. you'll just hit fuel cut earlier since it'll be moving more air.

Where is stock fuel cut? Where would it might occur with a 60-1. Bigger ic 550 lex and safc

1500hz in the afm
if you mean at what boost pressure.. there is none set.. it all depends on temp, elevation, your setup, etc...

Fuel cut caries from car to car depending on various things.

I run a 57 trim at 7-8 psi and have hit 9psi with out any problems.

LEAVE THE EGR ALONE. if you know what it does and how it works and how the tccs acts to it then you wouldn't ask.

Stock intercooler is good for about 350hp.

Upgraded ct's are only really good till about 400hp and anything after a 57 trim is going down in reliability and its not going to last long. Either get a 54 or 57 and at max only go 17psi. If you plan for 500hp build for 700 and get a t4 turbo setup that can handle that as you will need fueling to handle that as well with tuning as well.

well i ran a turbonetics turbo 60-1 t4 with stock fuel, afm, and just a upgraded intercooler but i was only at 9psi , but i also had a safc to do a little bit of tuning. car ran strong no issues until i blew a HG! lol

ok say my soon to be setup is 60-1 dm kit, 550s, lex afm, safc, 255 pump, and bigger ic and pipes. I am at about 6000-7000 ft elevation and unsure of what boost i am gonna be running wont know til the install and tune are done, any ideas of what i might need to prevent fuel cut issues?

 

[hvyman]

Get a wide band and a afpr with that.

Yeah sorry i am going too as well just forgot to mention it when i posted. So at my alt. do you think ill run in to fuel cut issues? or should i tune around that and see where its at?
