I know I am probably re-posting this but I cannot find it in the search. But recently I decided to make the switch from N/A to FI and I am still looking over all of my available options.

Ideally I would prefer to get a S/C system but turbo is not out of the question (upgraded greddy from fluid for 4400) however I cannot figure out which one. I've already spoke to fluid about the Hymee kit (which looks very promising but 7500) and of course I have been looking at the Pettit kit as well.

My question I have pertains to the Pettit Kit, now for the life of me I cannot figure out the difference between the Stage II and the Stage II CS except for a high flow cat. I've reviewed their website over and over again and cant figure out why the HP difference is so much between the two. What is the difference and is it worth the extra 400 for the CS version.

If anyone has anything that would be great....and once again sorry if this is a repost

as far as i know the CS is just with the hi flow cat. And I didnt think there was a big difference?

400 more = cost of high flow cat

CS version comes with a different flash?

BTW did you search through the Pettit section or call Pettit?

sent an email to pettit but no response as of yet.

and 400 dollars is to high just for a high flow cat and doesnt equal the 25 claimed hp difference

but who knows

ok heres my answer from pettit.....

Mark
The gains from the Stage II CS it seems were mostly due to the original
cat's degrading with age causing flow reduction, so a good factory cat
should provide nearly the same performance. As for the PCM-FI recal kit,
many customers have already purchased aftermarket management systems and
therefore do not need ours.

pricing as follows:

Stage II Kit $5995.00

PCM-FI recal kit $995.00

Total $6990.00

Until April 30 we are offering a 7% discount for non credit card orders on
the kit. This makes the total $6500.00 + shipping, if you need a hi flo cat
add $375.00. Attached is some important information regarding Rotary Engine
performance and longevity. Any other questions feel free to call

which means its nothing more than a high flow cat..

is it just me, or is it really hard to get a straight answer from pettit?

the hp claims and such have so far put me off buying from them. and they're close to me.

The few dynos provided by the Pettit SC owners here back up Pettit's HP claims. In addition the reply mscamp02 received is a straight forward honest answer. What more do you want?

I just watched a video of a Pettit RX8 put down 326 to the rear wheels. Their power claims seem ligit.

BTW compressed air gets a lot hotter. Anyway you can reduce that heat is going to create horsepower. A force fed rotary engine is crazy hot. 20 or so horsepower from a high-flow cat and tune to adjust doesn't seem so out of the question.

Just curious... what did he attach regarding rotary engines?

For the sake of full disclosure, that WHP figure is NOT from an out of the box kit. There are other modifications which have aided in that figure. Is it possible? Sure, but you'll have to spend a bit more to get there.

dillsrotary

More yes but not a lot, if I remember correctly it was a water/meth (for safety), injectors, and a pulley.

wow ok lets get started
not from Pettit but I have the Stg II CS and now more than all the people who dont have the kit,
The stg II CS is a different flash and a different cat if you want it, unless your self tuning get it, you do the install turn the key load the flash and drive away simple as that.

Have you called Pettit? Cam will sit there and talk to you all day long if you want, doesnt sound like youve actually tried to contact them,,,
again its also a flash, this kits runs just as effectively(cooling wise) as any turbo,, the air to water intercooler is aft the compressor,,, compress the air then it runs through the intercooler and into the runners,,,
for the sake of full disclosure, realistically speaking anyone going FI is not gonna be running stock exhaust hardware anyway... There are many supporting mods that go into building a reliable FI setup, regardless of TC or SC...
True Juans car is not stock,,, he has W/M, a header, I believe RP cat, and aftermarket exhaust, and a couple custom items which he is taking it on himself to experiment with, the big kicker of the hps is the pulley and injector upgrades, which are avaible for an additional $3**.00

I take it that the 400 dollars more is worth the price

Ok so If I get the stg II CS then right away I can operate it without getting a management system such as the Cobb? I know it would be recommended but I'm just trying to figure everything out and pick out a kit because I still have a month + till I order anything.

The two kits I'm down to are the pettit (decided against hymee cuz its still to new and not proven yet and everyone I have every talked to with the pettit is happy with everything) and the esmeril turbo kit (not sure why actually).

And no matter what I order I'm planning on doing the install myself along with a couple buddies even if it takes a week of playing with it to get it perfectly fitted.

It's just you.

You don't live too far away. If you would like a ride in my car, just ask. Make sure you have enough to buy it though, or the willpower to not knock over a bank... because you'll probably be compelled to buy it... especially the way it is now.

As for Juan's car, the pulley and injectors are what got him up to 330whp, the w/m injection and the headers got him to 300whp. He was putting down 280whp+ without any of that stuff, and so was I.
