well i have a stock 89 22re. I recently purchased a 22rte manifold and ct20 turbo w/ downpipe. my plan was to rebuild my 170k mile motor with new forged pistons, with stock the stock compression ratio (around 9.0-9.3:1) and with a elec. boost controller limit boost to 6 psi on pump gas. 8 psi on race gas(101 octane from a local 76 staion)

my truck is a desert toy, full roll cage, fuel cell, c/o front suspension, and long travel national rear spring already done. intercooling is a must for the desert so that is no question in my case.

so to go over the 5psi limit i guess my only option is to either experiment with larger injectors, a a/f ratio gauge and the stock vafm, or go with the stand alone setup(megasquirt, sds etc.) im bascially looking for a way around the ecu limitations. but it seems that there isn't.

Sorry for the essay....ive had a little to drink, and its 3am where im at, and this is my second post.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOTATECH!!!
