I've begun a project that seems to be catching some attention throughout the US and Japan, an AE86 with the F20C in it. I am by no means the first to do it, I know of about 7 that are complete and running, and another 10-15 that are in the process of being built. I have just began my project and I'm looking to be a little different, as well as achieve a little more performance at the same time.
Along with the swap I will be having a custom exhaust manifold built. I do not want to run an intercooler (hence, sleeper), so I'm going to run water injection, just like many GN and turbo Buick guys do. I'm limited on space and my goal is not to make a horsepower monster, but to bring up the midrange torque significantly.

I am not looking to spend $1500 on a turbo (like the GT30R, disco potato or whatever the hell they call it), so as an avid DSM lover I'm thinking about using the 14b from the stock first gen turbo DSM's. It's a great turbo, spools quickly, and will more than cover the 6-7psi I want for this application. Also considering the slightly smaller 2G DSM T25. I can get a freshly rebuilt 14b for $200 and a T25 for $150, which is the main reason I am looking at them. Engine management is already being taken care of by the AEM EMS.

Does anyone have any objections or suggestions to this idea? What about fuel injector upgrades? I would think it wouldn't be needed, running low boost and WI, but you guys are the F20/F22 experts, not me. I'd like to get an extra 50-75lbs of torque from this setup, and I would only be spending maybe $2000 max (manifold, turbo, water injection, piping). Does this sound feasible? I know turbo, I know water injection, what I don't know is how the F20C responds. So I could use some advice from you seasoned S2K guys!

Thanks,
Jason

btw...I'm active on alot of forums, and this is the first one I've seen with a spell checker placed very obviously right underneath the text box. Kudos! Maybe I'll be able to actually read most of the topics without

Found this completed pic of another install (N/A and not mine), so I will have a decent amount of room to work with, but I don't want a huge turbo or an intercooler, I want to keep this turbo setup as simple, reliable, and functional as possible.
