Phone Jap Performance magazine and ask them to send you a back copy of the issue with Ken Finn's Silvia. It was scanned in for the members of Club S12 who are mainly American or Canadian.

The spec is something along the lines of standard internals with a T3 on a custom manifold, intercooler, Porsche 968 injectors and an engine management system out of a Pug. Yes really. The car itself only cost £45.

Here is a reference (http://www.chipwizards.co.uk/diymanagement.htm)

Where did he get the custom manifold done?

from what I've heared you are better off here (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=77909&highlight=manifold) than exploring this path.

yeah ken's a good freind of mine,its a saab t3,ecu is from a pug 405(mp3.1)i think,remapped by wayne at chip wizards,is car is on my msn page,it's had a one off bodykit now.the manifold looks like a dougnut chopped in half if you know what i mean,ken say's it's cracked and when he took it off it was very restricted,he's now attempting his own.he will be at jae this year.

any ideas how easy it is to fit a different ecu then?

i didnt think there was a cheap alternative... silly me :annoyed:

trouble is you will have to find someone with an emulator who can tap in and remap the chip,i think it cost ken about £650 to get the ecu in and mapped,dastek do a piggy back unichip for about £550 fitted, which is spose to be ok but you keep your afm.ken's car started 1st time but cut out when it was warming up,so chip wizards used a program off of a saxo turbo (i think) and just played around whith it.
