88 xr4ti project
hey guys new to the XR world and lovin it. tell me what u think of it so far. Still building my motor and waiting on injectors.
1988 Merkur XR4TI. Lowered, A237 roller cam, Big Vam, Garret T3.60/.63, huge fmic, Adj. Cam Gear, Chipped LA2 comp. Ported intake and ported E6 and head,36# injectors 3"TB magnaflow muffler with electric dump,Short throw, Dual piston cal. Brakes
Love it! Hop over to www.merkursport.com for even more shenanigans!
Only thing I think would improve it, is to space the ponies in the rear out about 15mm and add some fender flares. Maybe some lower profile tires as well. Looks great!

I'm wondering if anyone here has got there ecu chipped from some last name potter. His name is on the ecu and wasn't wondering more about my program or chipp to see the fuel curve. The guy I got it off messed up a ring and it ripped out of the top of piston. I don't want that happening lol. Any suggestions on a tune. I know I need bigger injectors and jus wanna make sure she runs good and hard. But safe

Ian does the internal re-pinning of those so they are plug and play with the Merkur harness. No custom tune, just some wiring so it works.
As for larger injectors and a tune, check out going with MegaSquirt:
