Anyone have a plug and play stand-alone ems system that allows me to retain p/s and a/c? I don't feel like piecing together a system from junkyard parts, or making a custom harness... One of you guys want to part with yours? :P

I know long shot, but I figure someone might have something. Power FC would be my preferred system... but I'm not paying $1200 for that one off ebay with no commander just because its discontinuted when all the other Power FC's from the same seller are $600-800 and come with commanders. Thats stupid. Looking to spend around or under $1000 complete. What do you have?

Also looking for some drop in injectors, at least 550cc, preferably larger. Top feeds of course. I have some 460cc if anyone is interested in those. I also will have an SAFC2 and Horsham Developments Stage 2 tuned ECU for sale once I find the new stuff.

how good are you with electronics? you could make a adaptor plug n play haress for MS. Making the adaptor is easy its just figuring out some of the circuit board stuff to work with the OEM ignition even get rid of the ignitor.

I'm pretty good with wiring. I just don't feel like doing it again. I rewired my s12 when I installed an S13 ka24 in it, and again when I put a vg30 in there, I also wired my CA and afew SR's, but I have a full time job now, and don't feel like messing around with wiring. I'm trying to find a plug in solution, so I can install and go tune in a wekend sorta thing.

Have you considered the AEM EMS? Really pricey though, but it's plug and play. =/

I wasnt really refering to wiring, when I meant a adaptor I was refering to something like getting a plug for the ecu that connects to the harness and than have that go from the harness to MS since MS uses a DB-37 plug. So in reality only wiring your doing is from stock harness to MS.

I know there is a shop that I contacted that built a 400hp+ CA tuned on a SR PFC. They sell the conversion harness for $350. Let me try to find them again.

You know Not_a_sr you can take the stock maps and import them to MS if it'll make life a bit easier that way you can get a better starting point.

That's it! Yellow Munson tuning is the shop. Apparently, he has the harness sitting there ready to go. He qouted me $350 shipped for it, like I said.
