first you're gonna have to explain what an A/R T3 is

SpankedYA!

HP tuners will be your best bet. Look into them.

A/R = Air Research ... witch is the brand of the turbo .

mounting and plumbing everything is not a problum for me . but the thing is ......... i cant find a way to tune anything on this damn car ! there is no way to tune the pcm or the ecu. does anyone know of an fmu that is somwhat universal or one that can be mod'ed to work also i need to find a way to control the timing ........... ill check out hp tuners but if anyone els has any advise other then "get a differint car" or "get a honda" then plez post up .



lol no offense to the honda guys but ive turbo'd 2 civics and the fact that no one that i can find has turbo'd an olds Aurora makes me want to do it more ! it really gives me a chubby just to hear Psssstt come from under the car right when the trans shifts into 2nd at 6000rpms with the pipes Roarin that V8 tone ........ HeLL YES !!!!!!

Good luck finding an out of the box EMS to deal with the Northstar's dual crank sensor strategy.

Lol.

I was going to go Megasquirt with the one I have sitting in storage, but setup a different crank trigger scheme.
