Pulling the FI trigger...

Kirkster · 04-04-2011, 08:01 PM

Talked to Sam today.

Going with a GTM stage one Supercharger turnkey kit.
With the following add ons.

25 row oil cooler (my car was hitting 240° today easy)
Remote Thermostatic adaptor kit
PLX Kiwi Wifi + iMFD with ARF and what ever other modules Sam suggests.

Wanted to go with the PLX Kiwi to keep my car stealth and still have gauges. As it is a roadster and I often leave the top down, so having the A pillar gauge cluster was a non starter for me.

Order will be placed on Friday or Monday...

Where are you putting the gauges? Currently, there is no A-pilar gauge pod offered for our car.

I am going to try and run the gauges through the PLX Kiwi to an iPad or iPhone. if that fails i will use their software on a laptop for testing.

Rev2 is supposed to be able to read the iMFD stream and I am checking with a couple of other vendor apps to do that job.

Interesting... I'm putting a boost controller and turbo timer in the cubby since I don't have navi, but I have no clue where to mount my Innovate w/b gauge.

Welcome to the dark side Kirk

You better call Hill's today to get on the schedule, he was booking out till mid May already. I got in becuase of a last minute cancellation.

Kirkster · 04-08-2011, 11:31 AM

Well the order is in. Just have to wait my two weeks or so for the kit to show up.

Then do the install.

Will be off to Frank's shop after a week of light break in period for some Dyno Pulls and then send that off to Sam for any tweaks on the tune.

Already talked to Hill's Garage about things and they said that they can get me in for the dyno work in about a week after I call them.
