Just go with JWT, and do lots of searching. Unless your looking for some ungodly expensive Stand-alone system, just stick with JWT

You are gonna get flammed hard, good thing I jumped in!

For that T3, you want to have at least 50lb injectors and a cobra or 300z maf. Trust me on that one.

For ECU, there is greddy emanage and JWT or standalone systems. The S-AFC could be used with a BB ECU to get to the 50lb injector size as well.

Now, please go start searching up on the stuff i listed or Harris and others will be on your ass.

Check out the Hydra Nemesis 2. I'm trying to get a drop in solution made and just need people to express interest. The system rocks. Better than AEM, Microtek, TEC III, or JWT. click the link in my sig....

Would it be possible to use a GTi-R ECU or a BB ECU, with a Cobra MAF??? Just another question that arose (and yes i know the GTi-R and the BB dont use T3/T4 turbos, they use T28 and T25) so im not sure if that makes a difference.

The ECU doesn't know what turbo is on there. All it cares about is what size injectors and MAF you're using. The 370's are not going to cut it unless you never plan on going past 7psi. And there's no reason to get a t3/t4 if you're going to do that

So get bigger injectors, a bigger MAF, and get the appropriate engine management.

It loks like it has more control authority over more functions like colsed loop operation, long and short term trims, plus the abilty to control continualy varible cam timing controled by PWM devices.

This is more than AEM and even Motec.

The only trouble I see is that its abilty is beyond most peoples, even serious tuners. I could play with it for years considering the developmental tools even the super advanced hobbiest has.

It like an OEM development open code ECU! I would want it and then maybe not because it would consume me.

Thanks SpdracerUT but....
What if i used the injectors off of a GTi-R and the GTi-R MAF(along with the GTi-R ecu)? or arnt the injectors on the GTi-R suitable for a T3/T4? If the GTi-R injectors are not big enough, what size would you recommend?

(im looking to run about 9-10psi for now, maybe in the future lower my compression and run a lil more, but thats way down the road)
