This is the kind of shit that makes a guy wanna go get a loan...haha



......me at the bank...."Um...its for home improvement...I am upgrading my garage"


Seriously,though great work .I wonder if you could build/sell turnkey tuned engines like this and make a profit?
I know there are some cheap foos on here,but I for one would love buy a built,tuned 225-250W HP VE with a nice torque curve for my daily.
I could barely make the time to swap it in,let alone build,and tune it.If I could "cheat" and buy a tried and true built,reliable VE engine,I would seriously consider it.
Take the cost of what you have in it,add 5-600 bucks or whatever profit and start spreading the Marsh magic.

Ah ok. What was the IM tuned with? So what this means is part of that gain could be the ITB's and part could be the tuning no?

Could but who knows. I have yet to see Mike's car in person but I think its a custom manifold. Big runners and Q45 I would say. Hard to say if the car would of made more power with the AEM and IM. Maybe after 8K. Regardless, once I have the funds, I will be going with the biggest ITB's we can stuff under the hood, lol.

It's hard because only a few would sell.

I still do most of this for fun. Big companies won't do it unless a serious profit is involved, and the average enthusiast may not have access to the resources we have in this area.

No real benefit to be had power wise with the AEM vs. the daughter board as I the ability to tune past 8K on the factory ECU. Used the AEM because of having to tune with the TPS for the ITB.

The AEM was tuned in about 25 mins, no real effort put in as it was just a test.

There are a lot of pioneers on that side of the globe. I am just lucky to have Rocco and others close by who constantly help push the limits with testing.

I can arrange some 50mm ve specific itb's if u guys are interested. With the exchange rate it would be very affordable for you USA guys.

Would need about 5 firm orders to get them manufactured. Prices roughly a grand.

Sorry for the hi-jack Jamie. Just putting it out there based on your good results.
