Is that with a ECU install? Which one did you get emanage?

Yeah he was impressed with FTO's, he said normally looking 3-5kw gain on a NA car.

How much did it cost you all up for the e-manage + install & tune?

When you get your next tune done will you be getting it done when you in stall cooler/piping/injectors/fuel pump/ etc all at once?
and are you installing all the parts your self or most?

Around $750 for the emanage and $840 for the install and tune but that was with some minor work like replacing spark plugs.

I was going to do it in two stages as quoted in my first post but becaus of the price of tuning and the fact that i want to do this as cheap as possible without cutting corners ill do it all in one hit now. I am going to install the most that i can, most of the piping, intercooler, oil return line, etc. Im pretty sure if i ask the local exhaust guy he will let me use his welding gear. What im thinking will be hard to do myself, is make up some sort of bracket to mount the turbo.

Yeah, i thought you were going to get 2 more tunes (which will cost heaps)
if you lived in nsw's then you could probably get my brother inlaw to do the welding

but that shouldn't matter if you are aloud to use a welder at an exhaust shop

BTW hows the parts hunting going?

why would he do 2 more tunes?, should be done he has no other mods so its a basic AFR change..infact should have only taken about 1hr on the dyno.

I used the emanage blue in mine...was about 110 kw atw with stock extractors and tip...

best power upgrade for your FTO = manual!

hey Simon, I'm to lazy to read thru 7 pages. Do you still need a boost gauge or turbo timer? I can also get my hands on an Apexi RSM if you wanted. All the parts are 2nd hand out of my mates old 200sx

Post by **I8A4RE** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 7:13 pm

interested in boost gauge and maybe turbo timer. but i want white face dials or smokey face but if super cheap i may be swayed. Get me pics and prices

Post by **I8A4RE** » Sat May 03, 2008 8:49 pm

Thoughts?

eThix · Post by **eThix** » Sun May 04, 2008 3:17 pm

Post by **I8A4RE** » Sun May 04, 2008 3:33 pm

Are you after any style in particular?? 2inch gauges will fit. Confirmed this at a store

These are cheap and will do the job for you. Look decent too....

be careful with smoke gauges, they may look good in pics, but when in your car, you can't see them for sh*t.

Post by **I8A4RE** » Sun May 04, 2008 7:28 pm
