So im in the process of buying a 91 240 s13. Pretty much the car ive been looking for to fit my needs. Im switching from my 96 accord. I really want the RWD, been wanting to get a drift car, and now I finally am getting one. Its already coming with the sr20det red top in it, so Im just gonna leave it in there, ive bought the parts to replace all the pistons, rods, rings, rockers, lifters, springs, etc. Im going to replace the cams, get a little bit bigger injectors, and a new tune setup. I really done know of anywhere near my area that even messes with ECUs like that, kinda doing this stuff by myself, dont know many people into this stuff. So I was wondering if the pretuned ECUs from online companies are any good? Im just wanting a fun and pretty quick, but not the best.

Im also looking into buying like a HKS gt series turbo, and was wondering after the engine rebuild, how much psi can sr20s handle. Ill also be getting new wastegate and stuff like that, trying to eliminate the stock.
