Mad you have whole different issue..the manifold from a turbo probe doesnt bolt to the kia motor. and you already have the B&G ecu which will do boost compensation spark&fuel no problem.

shawn- I have two trucks going- one is my fe3 mazda with ms running fuel and spark. The other is a stock b2000 that I want to inject with mazda efi manifold and turbo using all factory parts and computers, if possible.

OH OK. In previous post i wrote that you would use the 626ecu, but i should have written to use the turbo ecu with the sensors/harness etc. i havnt seen in person the truck efi so i dont know first hand if the turbo injectors fit the intake and fuel rail,but i do know the 626 2.0i intake manifold will take the turbo parts.I had used one of the ecus from a older 626turbo and it ran great until about13psi on the stock turbo.after that the turbo gave up and we went a totally different direction.

shawn so you used a older 626 efi intake, and a 626/ ford probe turbo and manifold, and an older 626 turbo computer with sensors/ wiring. So what did you use for a distributor? The timing curves are WAY different from a stock b2000 distributor and a older 626 turbo distributor.

If you run the stock b head then the timing is proper for the head.the coil is fired by the dist,as far as advancement it is vac controlled so it does itself. the ecu is bassically for running the efi and the check engine light.

what about under boost? Timing will be way too adavanced. The stock b- sries dist base timing curve is way differnet from a efi dist.

if you use the complete turbo engine, you will have to notch the firewall for the distributor......

then you will need to get the intake cut and flipped OR get an adaptor made to flip it without cutting (i have seen this done)

then there is a pin on the turbo between the compressor and turbine houseings that needs to be removed and the turbo can be rotated to where it needs to point.....

then its a matter of wiring and fuel delivery. i have not done this swap but i have researched it a lot.

Mad taking into consideration you will use the truck head and an intake manifold from another source with the truck distributor. all the other stock parts will retorfit to the turbo block but you wont have any control over advance/ retard under boost with the stock truck vacuum advance. the stock setup for vacuum advance wouldnt be applicable if you use the turbo ecu anyway. i know you said you want to use as much stock parts as possible so with that in mind under load or no load you would be making boost in neutral at 2600 anyway.you could do an msd setup to give you the tuning you will need . not stock but really trhe least expensive manner to do what needs to be done.One more thing.. the truck head on the turbo block does take the compression up to a piont that anything over 12 psi is just too much to adequately manage anyway.and i learned that first hand when the stock turbo gave up the ghost.
