Hey guys its been a little while since ive posted. Anyways I just picked up an sr20 powered 240. It smokes, i bought it from a guy that doesnt know alot about them. He had 3 t25s in the trunk, thought he may have had a bad turbo, but then was leaning towards headgasket. Anyways he needed to sell it for some quick cash for family issues, so i bascially stole this car from him lol.
I plan on pulling the engine, doing a leakdown test, see whats really wrong, and just clean the swap up because its really haggard. However, I have had my fair share of sr20 experience and i have some cool go fast parts laying around my house. So i want to do something a little different. This is what i have
740cc injectors

Now all that really needs to happen is me make a bracket for it and some custom IC pipes and i should be GTG. I can handle the fab work thats not a big deal. Where i get concerned though is tuning, I could get a PFC and get a dyno tune but I really dont want to spend 500 for a pfc and 500 for dyno time when i could just get a flash and get close to the same ammount of power. Does anyone know a reasonable way to flash a tune like this? Would this be complicated? Any tuning shops that you guys would reccomend for this? I figure if i decide to spin the engine to 8000 rpm I could come up with some sort of calculation to find out how much boost my SC is making. Maybe aim to make 8-10psi.
But idk i dont have any tuning experience, the fab work wont be any problem, but im lost with tuning so reccomendations and suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks guys
