This kit was purchased from 01GAGT who beefed up and fixed all the known issues (weak key pins and bearing failure).
When I bought this he included some 28 lb injectors and a boost sensitive fpr exactly like the one included with the Eaton kits. My first question is for people that actually have the kit installed or know more about fuel management than I do. In the instructions I got with it there is a section that goes over replacing the fuel injectors with the ones supplied. However, if the Eaton can run on stock injectors could the RSM run on the stockers with the fpr as well? Or should I play it safe and go the extra mile and put the new ones on?
Second question relates to the tapping of the oil pan. I need a more detailed picture of the oil feed line and how it hooks up to the sender unit. I am trying to work out a way to tap the pan in the location suggested in the instructions without removing, unhooking, unbolting anything. Im going to grease the bit and attach some of those small neodymium to the bit to hold on any metal shavings. Im also going to flush the pan and fish a magnet around inside the pan after tapping. Then, just to be extra safe Im going to stick several larger ones to the underside of the pan to trap any possible loose particles. I used this method when I overtightened the drain plug on my old S10 and had to retap the hole. I never had a problem so I would assume it will work for this too.
Thirdly, how does one adjust the blow off valve. I am just putting this on for about a 6psi boost. I know with the Eaton the actual pulley has to be changed to raise and lower boost but does the BOV function to relieve boost if it gets too high with the RSM kit?
Lastly, the MAF sensor is removed from this setup. I want to keep the MAF with all my heart. I cannot remember where the MAF is on the intake but how might I go about putting it into this setup. The Eaton uses the stock MAF but I was reading up around here and some have said that a 2 Bar MAF is needed for this to work right which would require a reprogram of the MAF tables. Why does this kit need a 2 Bar MAF and the Eaton doesnt even thought they both claim the same power output?
Thanks!
