I was very lucky this past week and got a chance to be on Pass Time on Speed channel and took the win! I got $2000 for winning, I would like to save a bit of it but I also want to upgrade my car. I would really like some suggestions from you guys if you don't mind. Right now I have a basic swap with motor mounts, drive shaft, FMIC, Walbro, and adjustable FPR. Where my plans are to go with this car is to do a Holset HX35. Now to do that I am going to need injectors and something to tune with. I would like to go with a mega squirt set up but my question to go along with that is, do I need to tune my timing when putting this turbo on or is it only going to need fuel tuning. I can use the MS to control my EFI and use the stock ECU to control the spark. Any one have any input on that? What injectors are you guys running also, I am going to guess I need somewhere in the 550cc area. Is there any cars that I can get them off of and make them work on the RB25 application like for say the RX7 injectors? And what else am I going to need to get this thing going? Thanks for any help in advance!

Well done! Congrats on your win.

Unfortunately, I'm not the guy to answer the rest of your questions.

Congrats on the win! Yes you will need to tune the timing tables when you replace the turbo.

Have you ever thought of going with a Nistune setup? It would require you to get a VG30DETT ecu and make some pinout changes, but that would give you the best tuning solution for not very much money.

put the ms in and take it 2 someone who can tune it b4 u mess ur stuff up
I dont think MS has enough outputs to run sequential fuel injection and ignition in either direct fire or waste-spark.

You *might* be able to get it to run some sort of a multiport or batch fire injection and wastespark, but I'm not sure. MS is pretty limited on outputs.
