What type of help you are you exactly looking for? I dont think you can get 400 from that.

don't plan on seeing 400rwhp unless you are running a big shot

$4000 is way to much for a N2O set up unless its d.p. If you are looking to keep cost down there is alot of parts you can do away with on your list, like get a dyno tune TPS/window switch in place of the MSD and TPS switch, save $100 or so right there

ECU Reflash + dyno tune
800

just get a UTEC then you can switch tunes (driving on a nitrous tune will not be any fun when not using the bottle)

Damn thats alot of money, I don't think it should cost that much. Are you and your shop on the same page, they know you want a wet kit right. You might want to go into your regional forum and see if you can find any body running n20 that can help you out.

Did you contact the guys from performance factory?
ECU reflash plus tune $800, what are they going to tune, do you already have a utec or other ems. Hopefuly Audible Mayhem or somebody more knowlegdable can check this out and only hook you up with the stuff you are going to need. I would not spend that kind of money for N20, you might as well save some more money and get a vortech or single turbo.

yeah i spoke with him yesterday. do this, take off a weekend in a week or two, let me have some notice in advanced. let me know exactly what you would like to do and we will take care of you here.


i have a dynojet and will throw a utec plus all the nitrous your motor can safely handle in it.

thanks man, at least send me a parts list and i will get you a quote, i can beat all those prices shipped to you that you have up there.

also, if you have 4000 to play with, i can do a vortech or TN ST for you for just a couple thousand more out the door tuned...

If you want it done right,either drive to Performance Factory like Jeremy said or put it on a car hauler and ship it to him. It appears as though $$$ is not an issue for you. The man never sleeps so I'm sure he can have it done in a couple days.His GF said that when he does sleep he talks in his sleep about tuning cars..lol.. He did my N20 and I am very happy(no azz kissing intended)

i've been quoted less than half that for the ECU + Tune + Kit and installation. (100shot) For that price it would be cheaper to ship your car somewhere reputable.

Hey guys,
Jared here from UpRev.
Bottom line is cost of parts to do this thing right. Our quote for the install is only 6 hours (8 w/ gauges) and the ECU reflash w/ dyno tune is 800 (that’s less than a Utec w/o any tuning at all). Everything else comes from cost of parts. We don't stock parts at our facility as we are primarily an R&D facility, not a volume distributor. If we can get a hold of the parts for less $ then we'd all be happier (yes I have contacted Audible Mayhem to see what he can offer and hopefully he can bring the price down for us).

As for tuning we will be reflashing the ECU, and yes it will have multiple maps. We have room to store 5 alternate maps on the stock ECU which can be switched via the cruse control buttons (CC still works too). So we'll have plenty of room for NA tune, 100 shot tune, 150 shot tune, and still have room for two more maps (like stock or valet mode).

I’m open to ideas on how to reduce the cost w/o sacrificing engine safety/reliability.

Wow that sounds really good to me. Seems like a good alternative to the UTEC.

I think it is
It's just a really limited option since we're the only ones that can do it right now. There are a few other shops getting famillar w/ our system in Huston, SoCA, and Germany but right now we're the only ones using it .
