Well that turbo kit is under 3 grand basically. What else would be needed to do it right? Seems to come with everything.

 

Well I read the post and you can use the emanage blue I guess, but I heard the ultimate is better. Sounds like you need a harness for the AP1. It is all in the tuning of it etc. I am in no way an expert on turbos. PM soul coughing, he runs this setup and is your best resource if you want to go this route. Most guys on this site are willing to help you.

 

If you don't have $5000 clean for FI, forget about it. You will be in the poorhouse in no time.

You NEED a clutch...that's $1400-$1900 right there (if you can install it yourself, then it's $1000).
Gauges, hoses, missing parts, welding bungs, and miscellaneous is an easy $1000.
Good tuning is another $500.

There is no cheap way out, and there is no point in looking for a way to re-invent the wheel. S2000+FI+Cheap doesn't exist.

Like others said...it's A LOT more expensive to do it right the second time around.


For $1000, I'd much rather get a brand new Greddy kit than a used UR kit. Think long and hard about FI. There is no way to do it right under $5000 IMHO.

 

Well said and true...the only thing I feel is not correct is the price of the clutch. You can get a decent clutch for $500-700 i.e. stage 2-3 clutchmasters or Act HD clutch. Installation will cost another $400-500 bucks and unless you know what you are doing, I would let a pro install it.

 

So does the same go for the Comptech SC route? Am I going to have to spend all that extra money as well? Seems to be a little bit more reliable out of the box without the need for everything else. I don't mind down the road going with a clutch and all. And buying the sc kit used. I can always sell for about the same price I get it for. I already have gauges I never used on my eclipse. I have boost, water temp, oil pressure, air fuel(bs i know)

 

No, the comptech 5psi unit you can run it without a clutch setup and you do not need to tune it. If you want more psi, then you need an engine management set up and bigger injectors which you can do later. Again, if money is an object then stick with the used comptech...set price you want to spend today and stick with it. The moderators post is correct!

 

jon (soul coughing) has the ultimate racing set up and i asked him what he thought of this kit.. it isn't THAT cheap and frankly the emanage blue does not belong in a FI setup.. look to spend about $750 to buy an emanage ultimate w/ harness and $400-500 to tune that or over $1000 to buy an AEM EMS and slightly more to tune that

i suggest wait it out a bit.. take a few rides in some cars and then make your decision

 

I know what the boost curve of a base comptech/sc kit looks like but maybe i was using the wrong terminology to describe them

 

Ryan, are you going to be in Paramus tomorrow? I was thinking it might be easier to meet you during the day for a few minutes then down in Edgewater. At least from Paramus Park we can jump on the Parkway south for a good flogging for an exit or two and loop around. I doubt there will be any good places to really open it up in Edgewater especially with a ton of other S's around, might get someone calling the Po-po's on the whole group.

The windshield is getting replaced now but I should have the car back by 10am tomorrow.

LMK

 

Damn, no I have a conference down in New Brunswick I have to be in for Wednesday and Thursday. I think I will be getting out around 5 or so, so maybe after that?
