Aem for the win, my buddy's a tuner and absolutely loves the thing. The other are more of fuel and ignition adjusters with gauges...Good luck and post some pictures because I love what you doing dude! If I didn't live in Maryland I would do this also if my engine blew up just because it hasn't been done. Id love to put a sr20det in a fd3s also lol.

I agree with this statement, this engine swap seems to be a laterly movement instead of trying to improve the car. to each is their pwn.

Dude, why do you keep bumping your thread without giving new info? Looking for a pat on the back or some sort of self realization? Just weird.
