Let's face it, the stock 8 is somewhat lack of power. I don't do street race but I do some canyon runs w/ friends once a while. Going downhill is fun, but uphill..........

I just wanna get a rough idea on how much money you guys spent on FI in average (including whatever parts, and labor if it applied - that you needed to get your turbo / supercharger to run fine)... I don't aim too hight, my goal is to make the 8 to be competitive, not "smoking" other sport cars.

 

kit: 2700
e-01: 500
injectors: 250
WB02: 200 (I think...)
cold plugs: 150 (not using them anymore)
Installed myself: $0
Tuned myself: $0
-----------------------
$3800


I won't count the new tires I needed to handle the extra power!

 

Kit 3,000
Install 1,200
BOV & Install 280
Tuning (with Emanage) 140
Interceptor (Ordered) 1,700

$6,300

 

I just realized I forgot to add

Manual Boost controller 70
AEM wide band A/F gauge 400
Boost gauge 100

Total ~ $ 7,000

I hope my wife does not see this post !!![U]

 

I honestly don't want to think about how much I've spent on FI so far, but I said at least $5k.

 

There is no 0$ option. Why?

 

I don't like to think about this... its scary.

 

who put more than $8k!!!??

 

Greddy 3000
Interceptor 1650
BOV 120
E-01 350
wideband O2 300
install= $0 (installed myself)
tuning= $0 (open highway)
=5,420

This is just to get it running good and the ability to up the boost.
Doesn't count gauges/ midpipe/ exhaust/ wider wheels/...........

 

 

Does this count everything, or just the turbo accessories themselves? Should you count gauges, gauge pod, turbo timer, exhaust, midpipe...?

 

 

No.
He said just the cost to get it up and running correctly. kit, labor, tuning, ......
I didn't add my exhaust, midpipe, wheels/tires, flywheel, clutch,...... That easily put me over the $8k range.

 

I definitely think that you guys should include everything you've added to the vehicle to support the FI. If wider wheels and better tires are needed for traction....go ahead and add that in. Gauges, pods, clutch, exhaust......if you changed it, chances are we would want to also. A total of everything would be helpful to those seriously thinking about FI.

 

Damn.

... that's a lot of money.
