An ecotec with a turbo is not stock. & the ECO will still own you off the line & depending on what the both of you boost hell prolly own you top end.

well when it was motor vs motor i got him , nitrous vs nitrous i thrashed him also , and his kit is putting out only 5 lbs so im pretty sure a good kit would do the same as the nitrous and all motor races we had

ecotec does not equal to a cheyenne.....
and i think u'll have a good chance.....but sleeper is the master....

but which kit should i get ? ive been looking at the REV HARD stage 2 kit , but a friend of mine said that boost dependant regulators are unstable , is this true?

if you're gonna boost, do it right the first time. boost dependant regulators are very shitty on more then 5lbs of boost. I dont like the FMU's at all even if you're just running 5lbs. get injectors and a good EMS with a good tune and you'll be killing your friend all day long.

what about the Graddy Emanage ? ive heard mixed things about it , but im a new guy to this turbo thing, so i Do wanna do it right the first time , i can get a reputable tuner to tune it for me so thats a plus but i dont wanna go the cheap way i wanna go the good way , usually cheap and good arent 2 words associated together

go with 450cc dsm injectors and run either uberdata or chrome. its a cheap solution and also good. same thing as hondata just without the price tag

 

[ChewiSi]

e-manage for the greddy kit is good for the 5-6psi that it was set for. if you turn up the boost it throws that e-manage all out of whack and makes it pointless. get hondata/uberdata/chrome for an engine managment system, you will be spending about 2-300 on tuning alone though.

Don't buy a kit piece together your own that way you can have everythin that u want

O yea and the limit of your block is prob close to the 300whp range with a good tune and the 9 to 1 pistons in..
