Does anyone know of any good tuning shops that have experience working with SR20’s and that don’t charge an arm and a leg?

You’ll probably end up speaking with Andy as he handles most of the phone calls and scheduling. Tell either Andy or Paul that Marc (Sumner-Smith) sent ya and they’ll hook you up.

Actually I was gonna call you anyway to hook up my SAFC II etc since you did my buddys car (Tom) I thought I would give you a call to do mine, I will be doing all this in the next few weeks right now Im working on the mechanical side of the swap but once I get into the electrical side and Im totally lost I will need all the help I can get. Mechanicaly I have hardly any problems ask me to do electrical and Im lost, I can hardly hook up speakers to an amp :lol:

sure bud just let me know. make sure the cars running good before you put an s-afc into it though.

i.e. do not put in 550’s and a Z32 flow sensor until you have it running well on 370s and stock

:werd:

Get your motor running stock, put enough KMs on it to know that the  
motor is healthy and is running without problem (leaks, etc.)

Then start slapping the goodies on.

That what I was planing on doing the only problem is I don’t have the stock mass air flow sensor I only have the Z32, acutally I don’t even have the stock turbo anymore but that shouldn’t matter.

Make sure to hook up your vac lines properly to your wastegate/BOV.

Or you’ll end up like me and wonder why your car feels so fast and how  
you can hit 12psi+ on stock wastegate 🤣 :noes:
