so i guess the tdo5 is usually with 450 and the 440s would be closest.
thanks for all the input everyone.
i am going to go with the tdo5 and keep a close watch on boost.
as for injectors maybe ill get both sizes as the junkyards are almost always in
abundance of them.

BTW I hope your gonna Megasquirt that sucker.

Dont even think about using an SAFC. YOur engine will die a quick death. SAFC wont work with those early LH-jetronix rip off denso systems.

I dont feel like explaining it for the billiionth time, so just trust me and make your life easier.

yeah ive only heard bad things about the safc on the corolla.
megasquirt keeps popping its little head up but theyre mad expensive.

guess its better to fork out the money the first time rather than doing a job twice and costing more.

Theres absolutely no point in even doing this project if you dont have any plans to ever tune it correctly.

4age is a stout little motor, but even the strongest engine will fail with the lack of/improper tuning.

$500 is probably the most you could spend on a megasquirt. Thats pretty damn cheap for a standalone fuel/ignition computer.

If you try to piggyback the LH type system, you will get owned hard.

second that, jerry is one hell of a good guy!! top notch, and the best service ive had also! cant go wrong with him. as for ms :

http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/m...a3771fc263a5b0

looks like half that to me

still, you could buy the v2.2/ms1 as a kit and build it youself for less again. my ms2 setup cost me about 200us with my staff discount on components where i was working back in the day when you could just buy a board and chip.

like the man says, you are wasting your time without proper tuning. what about those chrome/hondata thingys? they any good? cheap? powerful enough? i know nothing about them, but maybe you could waste some time retrofitting a honda ecu and use that for less still. correct me if my guess is wrong.
