SETUP GUIDE

■ BOOST SETTINGS	STANDARD ENGINE	1.4 - 1.5k　(19.9 - 21.3psi) with Boost Controller
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	1.6k　(22.8psi) with Boost Controller
■ ACTUATOR SETTINGS	STANDARD ENGINE	No Changes
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	No Changes
The ARMS M7760 turbo is capable of delivering 400PS at 1.6K boost. However the main concerns with the stock engine is with the stock Conrods not being designed to cope with that power. So the safety power limit for the stock engine and stock rods are 350-375PS with a boost range of 1.4-1.5k. When changing boost settings please do so in 4th or 5th gear as when done so in lower gears the high loads in higher gears will result in higher boost settings up top. It is not necessary for the actuator to be modified or upgraded since the actuator is designed to protect the Turbo. Increasing the boost settings will control the actuator anyway and it is more than enough. The boost controller controls the pressure in that hose that connect from the intake plenum to the actuator which opens a relief valve for protecting the turbo. So the boost controller’s job is to allow you to control the actuator for when it should open.

■ ESTIMATED POWER	STANDARD ENGINE	350 - 375ps
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	400ps
With the standard engine the main concern is the reliability to cope mainly due to the weak point being the Conrods, so the safety margin is to limit it no more than 350-375ps with a max boost range of1.4-1.5k.

■ INJECTOR SIZES	STANDARD ENGINE	With 620cc or higher
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	With 680cc or higher
To calculate what size is required then you use this formula Target horsepower×5.9÷ the number of cylinder = one cylinder. Then consider not exceeding 80-90% of the injectors capacity to find the ideal size for your application.

■ OVERSIZED FUEL PUMP	STANDARD ENGINE	165L/h or higher (Fuel Pressure 3kg/cm2) Recommended: TOMEI　255L/h (Fuel Pressure 3kg/cm2)
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	182L/h or higher (Fuel Pressure 3kg/cm2) Recommended: TOMEI　255L/h (Fuel Pressure 3kg/cm2
You select the flow rate capacity of the fuel pump to be adequate enough to supply the required flow without going into the 80-90% safety buffer of the pumps capacity. You can use the following formulae (Capacity of the fuel pump to suit the injectors) x the number of cylinder x 0.06 = [answer].

■ FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR	STANDARD ENGINE	Upgrade Required Recommended: TOMEI　Ttype-S
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Upgrade Required Recommended: TOMEI　Type-S
This adjusts the changing rate of the fuel pumps flow. Usually this is set at 3k due to the atmospheric pressure

■ SPARK PLUG HEAT RANGE	STANDARD ENGINE	Required Best to use Heat Range #8 - 9
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Required Best to use Heat Range #8 - 9
With the increase of horse power, the increase in combustion temperatures and this will be a risk of the plugs from melting. The recommended plug heat range of 8-9 is suitable.

■ BLOW OFF VALVE	STANDARD ENGINE	Upgrade recommended.
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Upgrade recommended.
The stock blow off valve is not strong enough to cope with the pressure on higher boosted applications so the TOMEI blow off valve will retain the recycling type feature and will adequately control the pressure on high power setups. The stock blow off valve will at times not function effectively when needed depending on the boost settings so stabilizing the boost settings is not possible. But without the blow off valve the turbo will fail. To protect the turbo the blow off valve becomes an important component on your investment and the TOMEI strengthened blow off valve is suitable to meet everyone’s budgets and to meet your needs. This is an essential component for those who will upgrade their turbo and run higher boost.

■ CAMSHAFTS	STANDARD ENGINE	TOMEI　PONCAM
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	TOMEI　PONCAM SUITABLE or higher
Running larger profile camshafts will increase the exhaust back pressure. This will help with spooling the turbo for improved peak power gains.

■ EXHAUST MANIFOLDS	STANDARD ENGINE	TOMEI　EXPREME OR SIMILAR
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	TOMEI　EXPREME OR SIMILAR
When upgrading the camshafts to optimize the turbos performance it is best to also upgrade the exhaust to maximize the performance potential of the setup. With the EXPREME exhaust manifold design the exhaust backpressure will be improved to give you an easier and sharper turbine spool.

■ METAL CATALYIC CONVERTER	STANDARD ENGINE	TOMEI　EXPREME OR SIMILAR
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	TOMEI　EXPREME OR SIMILAR
The standard outlet pipe is not suitable for exhaust flow. The exhaust will clog the exhaust gases with high speed, high boost due to the narrow pipe diameter which causes a bottleneck effect. This will drop the turbines efficiency due to the restrictions on the exhaust flow hindering boost capabilities. So with the larger diameter pipe, the exhaust flow will be optimized which will maximize the Turbo’s and engines performance with a good stable boost control.

■ MUFFLER	STANDARD ENGINE	Best to Upgrade to Metal Type RECOMMENDED: TOMEI METAL GASKETS
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Upgrade to Metal Type RECOMMENDED: TOMEI METAL GASKETS
When increasing boost and with the increase of combustion pressure the standard head gasket limit is soon realized. By using the correct metal gasket thickness you can adjust and obtain the required compression ratio and increase durability to cope with the increased power output of the engine.

■ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM	STANDARD ENGINE	Select to suit the cars application
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Select to suit the cars application
An aftermarket ECU is required to optimize the setup of your engine with the new setup.

■ INTERCOOLER	STANDARD ENGINE	Best to Upgrade
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Upgrade is required
Pressurized air in the turbine is sent to the engine compressed. Compressed air will expand with heat.? With the drop in air density the performance efficiency will also drop due to poor combustion. With the intercooler fixed in between the engine and turbine the compressed air will be air cooled to eliminate heat. Combustion efficiency will be improved with the cooled compressed air being forced into the engine intake resulting in performance gains.

■ AIR CLEANER	STANDARD ENGINE	Recommended: High flow sports type
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Recommended: High flow sports type
Running the standard air cleaner is recommended when using an AFM (air flow meter) .

■ INTAKE PIPE	STANDARD ENGINE	Any Decent Aftermarket Type
	2.2L TUNED ENGINE	Any Decent Aftermarket Type
The standard suction pipe can at times deform and or restrict flow with high boost conditions. By upgrading this component added benefits can be gained.
