I am getting ready to order a P-1SC from thunder racing . I am curious
if there is anything else i need to do to my car or blower to have it run
with no problems . Besides tuning of course Any and all tips are greatly
appreciated

 

definitly need some kind of fuel setup....42# injectors, in-tank fuel pump, new fuel filter, and like you said i really good tune

 

You need to decide on the fuel setup. FMU or custom tune with injectors? Most people go with a custom tune and injectors but I used an FMU for a long time and it worked fine. Some type of ignition amplifier would help also.

 

There are several suggestions, some of which would have you rethink your purchase. But congratulations on your new project.

1) FMU - Dump it from the start. Don't even install it. Go with 42# injectors and get a tune ready to go before you fire it up.

2) Keep the tuning very conservative, as your pistons are going to blow at the slightest detonation (knock).

3) If you have no plans on rebuilding your engine, I might suggesting planning (and saving) on rebuilding it. You should lower your compression via forged pistons as soon as possible.

4) Spark Plugs - .035 gap, no platinum.

Have fun!

 

>welcome to the rebuild club... maybe premature, but inevitable

 

I assumed this would be going on a stock long block. If your gonna start changing engine parts, that's a whole different ballgame. But, just realize that the stock pistons may or may not last awhile.

heres a pic of my injectors for sale

 

If I did it all over again I would not buy a kit. I would buy the D1SC with the mounting bracket,SDCE tensioner, pulleys, belt and new style procharger intake. Buy a mondo valve and then buy a front mount intercooler and tubing off ebay. If you ever want to build your motor for more HP this will save you alot of money later on. Go ahead and get the mototron 60's and ditch the fmu.
