Ok, so I need to get some sort of engine management. what would best fit my needs?

affordable is key as I don't have much money, but I don't have any experiance with this sort of thing so easy to learn as I have to tune myself since I'm too poor. I'm capable of installing it though. I've pulled my T2 apart to bare block and put it back together, and running a new harness is not an issue as I need a new harness anyway. I had to splice and fix alot of mine. its ghetto but runs.

I've already removed the rats nest, ACV, EGR, and have the TB mod. I have a full exhaust (80MM corksport DP, to 2.5" presilencer, to 2.25 duel catback.) , 3" TID. Ported waistgate, FCD, and a 255LPH fuel pump. Greddy BOV boost is at 10psi so I need to upgrade before I blow up.

I'm going to be getting FMIC, larger injectors, and wideband ASAP.

I would eventually like to be above 1 bar, but looking for about 250 whp for now.

 

Apexi Power FC, they make it for the S5.

 

I'm S4, I think its a bit out of my price range. I did find a super AFC fairly cheap, I already have a FCD

 

Most new engine management systems (EMS) cost between $900 and $3,000. If this is beyond your price range, then check out the classified section to see if you can pick up an older used model.

An EMS is intended for highly-skilled automotive technicians, so every model is beyond your skill level. However, given your self-description, you should be able to install one yourself, and then get some tuning help from one of your local friends. An EMS that is pre-configured for your car will be easier for you to understand. These would include most of the Microtech models, Wolf plug-in models, and the Haltech Platinum Sprint RE. The downside is that the pre-configured models will not work with other engines like the universal models, and therefore it is difficult to re-sell and you need to be VERY careful when buying a used one in order to make sure it is pre-set for your engine type.

Due to your limited funds and technical skill, you may want to just stick with the S-AFC for now.

 

I was thinking that thats a good plan to just start there and sell it later when I plan on upgrading further. thanks for the help

 

Hey Jinx, I saw Japan2LA was selling a HKS F-CON for a S4 for like $99. If you could I would hop on it.

 

I'd be on it but had some other issues this week with the car that were more important. thats so gonna be gone. I'm trying to get jordans safc2
