Pilot, I assume you're asking how does the registry work? Just post up info on your FI GS and I'll make an update soon to it and re-post it. I've got a BUNCH of new updates to make

Default Invested amount

How about adding the approximate amount of $$ invested per setup...some of us are looking for quick, inexpensive power, and others have less-limited resources. This may help many people decide which route they're going to go.

looking forward to being added to this list as a twin turbo 1st gen in the next week or so. I'll post dyno #sand full setup. Until then I guess you could throw up my #s on the spray.. 265rwhp, 280tq. Modified Zex kit on GTE /GE hybrid motor.

big stuff coming soon!!

Thanks
I got the car off a tuner shop showroom floor. It appears it was put together purely for cosmetic purposes. I had to tear out a bunch of stuff(old turbo timer and boost controller) and had to wire up other semi-important components(lights, blinkers, half the alarm, SRT ECU) that were merely added on for appearance,. I adjusted the suspension and did some patch up work on the fendors. The apexi, eclipse, and lighting is all new, Im finishing up the install right now. I need to get it tuned but I dont know where to go around here(Seattle). Seems like everyone wants to install and nobody wants to tune. Except I will never let anyone work on this machine except punching numbers into the SAFC2, especially after finding duct tape holding wires together when I bought it. I'll get some pics up when its all done. How much does a dyno session run?
Thanks

Plock,

One thing you've said about your setup - the SRT ECU and the SAFC II do basically the same thing. I wouldn' t recommend hooking them both up at the same time

Yeah, I know, I just needed to hook up the SRT ECU to beable to get it all the way home. It wouldnt even run without it. With the ECU in the car is running so rich that im getting like 10mi/gallon. Set off the stupid monoxide sensor in my house everytime I pull in the garage. It had to go. Its running alot leaner now with the SAFC2, but I dont really know much about tuning. I need to get a wide band A/F sensor but Im running out of room to keep adding gauges. I just got done mounting a palm pilot with palm-n-stein in the glove box but Ive never used that program before either so i'll probably be posting questions frequently from now on. You know of any tuning "best practices." I tested all my equipment and its all hooked up right. You have to worry when the Apexi manual says to "turn the unit on and then smell the unit for any sort of unusual smell"
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

wow those are some impressive numbers
sorry but not tryin to throw ur thread off, but alot of u guys are from the cali area? where emmisions is more crazy no? I am orginally a supra owner that wants the same power but just with more room, i like more well balanced then high ponies. the thing i wanna ask is how are u guys passin inspections nowadays? in NYC they require 95 and up cars to be inspected thru the ECU OBDII no more dynojet machine, good thing is they don't floor ur babie for no reason anymore, the bad thing is u the owner dont get power when u floor ur own car nows -=T lolz. You guys run 500 whp? with Cats? i wanna try to pull out more out of my car but im afraid of molestin and trouble with inspection?

Dave I'm pretty sure that "plockme's" car was bought from Bdragon. incase you wanted to edit that.

Sorry I haven't been able to get you numbers yet, and it looks like I might not be doing numbers for a while as I'm about to upgrade the set up for the car.

No, I don't think it ever does. Its just an opportunity has presented itself and I'm going to take a stab at it even if I have to sit on it for a while until I can install them. No rush.
