Tony240ZT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I've already replied to many others on this one before asking the same thing. Basicly, as I stated before, there is no problem at all in using a NA setup, but there are a few things that I would recommend, and also a couple things you should ask yourself before you try and paste things together. The turbo ECU has serveral advantages in that it has the addition of a knock sensor, it also senses elivation, and has much more control over timing. The AFM is larger and will flow more air easier. You can easily swap your NA internals over to a turbo AFM body. The distributor is much different in the turbo car setup, and it doesn't advance as the RPM goes up. This is to prevent knocking, the knock sensor will further retard timing if knocking does occor. You will need to figure out a way to make your distributor not advance. The turbo dist. will not swap. If you simply turn back the NA distributor the car gets sluggish when taking off, best bet is to figure out what advances it and take that out (I think there are some weights that do it in there). Upgrade your injectors, bolt up the turbo, get an air/fuel mixture gauge and start messing around the with the AFM until things look right. Then start the upgrades!

Tony240ZT Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Scotty, if you know the details on how to fix up a NA distributor to not advance, or even better, to be advance at idle and to retard when possitive vaccum. Fill me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
