I had one and we tuned it on my B16a n/a with ITR cams, ITR manifold, JG TB, no fuel pressure regulator, and stock cam timing... Stock header and a k&N on the TB, how much would I have gained y'think from an AEM and a good header?

Pick up 15ish HP from the time we first put it on the dyno.. PLUS got rid of my JDM ECU's speed cut. The thing I loved was the THROATY well fed sound the engine made after tuning!! AWESOME!

As you can tell from the dyno below... my power was only hindered by stock valve float issues.... I WISH I'da had my ITR springs in at that time... Would have been nice to see 9k rpm and 160 at the wheels on a stock engine

They are for real.

Has anyone used it on a FI vehicle, namely turbo? Anyone.

 

my freind has one in hs SC LS teg. He likes it. I'll try and get a more detailed opinion fom him to post.

 

Is it splice or plug-n-play?

 

From what I have read, you plug it in between the ecu and the harness.
