The prices that i have in my plan are not all quotes, several are just estimates i have made myself. I know alot of you guys have more experience and knowlege regarding kswaps, so let me know
if there is anything i am missing out in my plan or anything worth keeping in mind.
Nope, i didnt end up tuning the RBC and Injen Intake. My initial plan was to go I/H/E + tune but the disappointing results shown on the dyno results from the CAI and Intake Manifold installation really turned me away from it. My tuner was also suprised with the lack of reponse from the mods, he told me that i shouldnt expect anything more then 110 kw atw with I/H/E + tune. which is 20 kw more then a stock FD2 and could easily set you back about $4000, not worth the money. IMO Your better off throwing a K24 in the FD2 for another $3000 - $4000 and gaining 60 kw over stock. Also regarding my butt dyno results from the CAI & RBC, Felt less responsive and less smooth low down in the revs and slightly more fluid and agile higher up in the revs.hey Mr abzii i am in the same shoes are you was just wondering if you tuned after installing the RBC manifold and injen intake, and also when i drove teh car did you feel abit of power?
