I HAVE AN R32 RB20DET IN MY S13 AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS DONE A TURBO UPGRADE T3/T4 (.63 AR) COMBINED WITH FMIC 3IN EXHAUST INTAKE BOV, AND BOOST CONTROLLER.

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO TUNE THIS BAD

I THINK I NEED 550 INJECTORS AND POSSIBLE AN F-CON OR POWERFC.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT, ALSO LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND OF POWER TO EXPECT.

You could get away with smaller injectors like GTR 440s and a SAFCII to tune. It should be fine for that set up and can handle those size injectors. It maybe be able to handle 550s but those are a bit too large for its capacity and you have to take like 40% fuel out or something. If you want a stronger and more choices for tuning then get the power fc. That is a great system but is a decent amount of money and would be more to have it tuned. For me it just doesn't seem worth it with my hp goals. It all depends on what you are looking for.~ANDREW~

add to what he just said. a cheaper and as reliable, is the chip tuning of your rb20 ecu. find someone that can socket the ecu and load a eprom on there; or run a romulator to it.

I was just at the turbo shop yesterday here in japan. They said not to get the SAFC. The GReddy E-manage was a better choice due to optoins, price and what it can tune where the SAFC is just fuel the E-manage is more. To upgrade over the e-manage go with the PFC. They said to start with the basic unit and as you add parts you add the pieces for the E-manage. Just what I was told by the Shop.
