To get any power from an N/A you have to go standalone, and that costs quite a bit.

You just have to watch for deals and be at the right place at the right time. I just witnessed a Haltech E6X with harness sell for $200. A brand new Rtek 2.1 would probably only cost around $500 or so.

You're kidding! Did you buy it?

To the OP: We should talk, I have some 4 port irons that we could slap on your engine. I actually was saving them for a turbo project. Unfortunately, the ECU is going to be your biggest issue.

Like Buggy said, keep your eyes out for good deals on EMS. Any ECU that can run a rotary will work, Haltech, Motec (expensive), Megaquirt, microtech, etc.
