yeah, 7mgtes are cheaper, those injectors are a direct replacement for the 90-92 turbo probe, which swap right in with ours. i wanted to buy everything new, and for the money, i'd rather get venoms (cuz they are bigger) than stock probe ones, which were ridiculously expensive.

john and i are gonna write up and take pics of the whole install.

ha, the intercooler is really really big, like waaaaay bigger than i expected. i'm not sure what i'm gonna do about that yet, but we'll see maybe time for a gt4 bumper... too bad i have NO mohnay right now

Charlie, get on AIM. I need to talk to you about a couple things.

I can't wait to see your turbo setup by the way!

[FallenHero]

yes, i have a set that was 40. but i wanted all NEW parts to put in for my kit. i don't want to rely on used injectors that have 120K on them. stock turbo probe injectors are 310 cc size, and the venom ones are a 10% increase, so about 340 cc is my guess. also, stock turbo probe injectors are like 120 each new from ford.

also, all told i probably spent 3500 on the whole thing, and I still have one or two more things to buy.

i was just wondering what you were planning on boosting. if it is 8 psi or below then bigger injectors wouldnt be necessary. this is just for future reference for anyone else. 250's would be fine for anyone looking to get about 10 psi.

i'm gonna run 10 psi most likely. it was recommended i get bigger injectors because i'm not using an FMU or Fuel pressure regulator, i'm just using a supra tt fuel pump and the afc and bigger injectors. the reason i got bigger was i'm going to continue to upgrade the engine, and i didn't want to have to buy new injectors again at some point. plus, 10 psi will be pusing the limits of 250s, and i don't want to be stressing the system.

It all sounds so great. When are you planning on putting it all in?

as soon as possible. i'm looking at easter weekend right now, i think 2 days for the install and a day to tune should do it.

FARK YOU MAN, IM SO JEALOUS! I WANT A TURBO!

[FallenHero]

Dude, I can't wait. We'll finally know what the ole' 7A can do.

[rlan214]

i think our stock ones are like 220 cc or something. turbo probe/mx-6 injectors (90-92) are a direct replacement for ours. denso makes the celica injectors and the probe ones, and they happen to have the same plug setup.

[FallenHero]

So you're just gonna bolt it all up? What are you going to do about your ECU? Will the stock one still work?
