Going to push a different direction with our car for now Options

im voting...

c20b
550 supra injectors
ats bored out fuel rail
AEM Ems
water injection

a badass setup for around 2k. then when you want to the next level, youll have all your supporting mods in place. hmm... come to think of it, why am i not doing this right now? lol

i feel like the money would be wasted on the ct20b if it isnt the turbo you are going to stay with forever.

read your sig again art

as far as turbo's go, the ct20b would only be for a limited time, as nobody is going to prep their car for 300+ wheel and stay with 275. so for him, AEM EMS right now might be the best option.

haha you might be right, but ct20b's hold their value. when you outgrow it, you can resell it for the same price you paid.

I'm with Art on the CT20b now that I know it's a simple bolt-on (except Dr. Tweak did some kind of wastegate bracket that I don't know if it'll work on a 20b) instead of new manifold and everything. We'll see though, as my primary goal right now is to get the AEM in and on with a water/alky injection put on there.

I apologize to everyone about the misleading nature of my first posts. The AEM is coming as an intended stepping stone for future mods (motor, head work, cams, turbo) since I haven't said that before.

Oh yeah......my KS isn't blown. I found a tear in a wire from the GM KS conversion. Don't know how it got there, but all is well now.

we were only saying that because it was one of his reasons for spending thousands of dollars on his motor and we were offering up a cheaper solution.

fastbird knows we were just having a civil discussion, and werent trying to prove anything.

yes we read it and it was worth pointing out that you could fix that problem with a 5$ rubber hose, instead of buying an ems.

Thoughts?

but not when he expressed his feelings towards wanting an EMS, he had many valid reasons whether you believe in them or not was not up for debate. THAT is what i was getting at

If so, the stockers blow hot air after 15-16 psi.

Incorrect internet myth! I suggest you stick to forwarding spam emails to collect on Microsoft's offer to pay big dollars from their internal study.
