Today, I've been researching on what all it would take to build a low compression turbo 2.2 for fuel economy. The first thing I looked into was stand alone engine management. AEM EMS-4 is what I have my eye on.
The only thing I cant pin down is the fact that the unit needs crank and cam hall inputs, and knock sensor input, and I don't know where I would get those feeds from with no cam, crank, or knock sensors. Everything else I have figured out, such as VSS, MAP, and TPS feeds.
I plan on building my intake to accept a 90mm billet throttle body using an infinity TPS sensor, and my header around proper tuning specs and flow ratings. Not sure on injectors yet (I think the 50 lb ford injectors may be a wee bit too big), but I plan on using AEM's cdi pencil coils with their 4 channel coil driver.
I was wondering about cam swaps, piston, and rod options, and the benefits of studding the motor instead of using bolts.
I wasn't sure how popular this thread would be, but I figured it'd be worth a shot at a good discussion. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
