$2000 is exspensive? And Datt. I would really like to go with a supercharger is possible because this still is going to be a dd, and some turbos can have stability issues as far when teh weather condidtions change from what I understand.

Sampson, What exactly and I going to have do do other than install it? Its a 6-8 hour install, nothing else is needed. I would probally put 1 ranger colder spark plug, and a different thermostat. And probally replaced the fuel pump.... Those are all SIMPLE things.

i'd imagine you'll need ecu tuning to get a good a/f ratio?

The kit should include a solution for that, I believe it is something piggy-backing off the stock ECU

If this is all true, go for it. What are you looking for from us?

I don't know any specifics about aftermarket FI stuff for your year, lol

Man, don't waste your time with FI. For true simplicity a motor sway is WAY better AND will undoubtly be more reliable. B18C prices are finally coming down since the K20 is the new rage amongst the honda crowd. B16's are quite a bit cheaper. Now if you turbo that you'll really have something to talk about.

Think about it, adding FI to you D15 might get you a high 15-second car. Add FI after a swap and you'll easily be running 14's. Or, just swap an H22 and run 14's all day long without anything else.

I agree with Ronstang as well. After going through all the cost and trouble of swapping my new car still spanks it.

Forced Induction, Supercharger/Turbocharger does not go with "I want to add a little power"

A little power would be some naturally aspirated options :)
