View Full Version : Got a beefed up RSM kit

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!

I sent you a PM over on Grandamgt.com

If you already have the larger injectors, use them. Gives much more room to tune properly and not have to worry about injectors clipping. Either way, you'll want to have the PCM tuned properly.

Pulley still determines boost level. A BOV only vents excess pressure caused by closing the throttle quickly.

You mean 2 bar MAP, not MAF. The difference is really just different fuel delivery tuning methods. The 2 bar MAP "simplifies" things somewhat, by reverting to a speed-density system with no MAF. Since the Eaton setup included an FPR only, the tuning nor MAF is altered. Personally I think both types of tuning included in the kits is rather weak... I would pick your tuning method and stick to it. Again, the key is to have the PCM retuned properly.
