Engine Management Options, and fuel setup ?
So I'm going Na-T, and wondering what options are out there for full engine management, and more so, what have people used with some success on these cars. I'm also interested in what size injectors and what else i would want for my fuel setup. It will be running a 60-1, and will be used as my drift/street car. I will initially just mock the turbo setup on my car, and run around on lowww boost, till i have everything to build the motor. So I may not need injectors right off the bat, but will when i up the boost after the motor is in. Anyways, I'm not super familar with what people have used when doing na-t's in these cars. So let me know whats up.

I have a Motec M48 Pro on my Sc3 personally.
If your setup requires a standalone by all means do it. The piggybacks are only so good.

For a drift/street car, I think you'd be ok with just an AFC such as the Apex'i SAFC-II or if you want to run bigger injectors, combine that with a VPC.
Standalone's are great i fyou have the money, but some of us don't, and others would rather spend it on other things.
It all depends on your power goal for the car and the size of you wallet.

IMHO....save your money and do it right the first time with a standalone. Most try the piggyback....MAP ECU,VPC&SAFC ect and then end up upgrading to something with more control. Go with an AEM EMS and you wont look back.

Yeah I defintely wont be doing piggybacks. I'll probably just use the holley standalone cause i can get it cheap, and it seems awesome. Just wondering what options were out there. How about fuel pumps? what do most turbo dudes use?

The AEM can basically do everything the Motec can, plus has a bunch of cool features...it'll take you forever to figure out everything you can do with it. My car made alot more power on the dyno by just switching to the AEM, it's a bargain for what you get.

Depending on your goal boost level, you might want to run more than one.
