Hi guys I am on a bit of a journey with my S2 at the mo and want to remove it's MFI question is which way do I go? Had my heart on a P8 setup but after reading a few posts on here and asking around looks like it could be a mistake. Which way would you guys go and with what?

Depends on who you are going to get to map it. Use what they recommend.

Dave Walker at emerald can prob do you a loom and a base map and you can do some live mapping (I wouldn't) I would take the car to him or one of his approved fitters and get the. To map it.

Was going to call him tomorrow tbh living in Devon I'm use to having to travel miles for stuff as there is no one down here.

I had my old Elise mapped at Emerald on a K6. Dave did not do the map personally but the guys took the time to ensure it was spot on and it drove beautifully. Thoroughly recommended and worth the trip to Emerald for the mapping. I had 195bhp out of a 1.8 K series on jenvey throttle bodies and cams. Not to shabby in a flyweight elise.

Dave is a great bloke, always had time to answer my questions...I prefer Rave Talker but he doesn't get out much now.

sitech racing did mine using v4 stinger, excellent, made 270hp at 1 bar cvh

I spoke to Simon yesterday he was very helpful I have asked him about his inlet manifold, I am interested in getting him to do it. This is so hard worried about making the wrong choice

What car is it, s2 cvh?

crash&burn

Yes mate S2 2.1 forged ZVH with Ric Woods big valve head Newman ph4 cam etc

Well I think v4 stinger is a good ecu, I have learnt myself to work it as it's all in a good format and easy to read. It can do anything you will need, including anti lag. Launch control. The ecu will be mounted in the glove box. Will come with its own loom. Not much to it really once you have all other efi conversion components

I have got hold of a non injection loom today which i will be fitting to tidy the engine bay holding off on the inlet for a bit until I have 100% made my mind up if i use an efi one or aftermarket plus i have the RS 500 style Airtec cooler so need to sort the routing out as it has a reverse charge carrier at the mo

Rsturbo519

What inlet you talking about? Simon supplied fitted and mapped mine, what turbo you using? And what power u after? A gt28 would see you good power figures and be responsive

Rsturbo519

Aftermarket ecu all the way, or you are just wasting power, u won't see proper gains and my cvh would have ya hahaha

crash&burn

Simon told me he can supply a new inlet not sure which one he said it was one of his? I have emailed him about it. It has a stage 3 turbo at the mo but is only on MFI so would have been pointless until i get the ecu sorted quite like the over gearbox manifolds probably go t34 tbh. I want the car for a daily for the Mrs so want it to be sensible

Rsturbo519

Depends what your looking for then really, if your after a bit off fun and nothing to serious then just stay mfi, as the ecu and wiring and all other stuff is gona cost ya, and if going to extent off aftermarket ecu you would only really see best gains using a gt style turbo. Means custom down pipe ect. You would save a lot off money sticking with mfi but would have a far better, reliable, quicker, motor using efi

Defo getting shot of the MFI that's for sure, cheers for your help bud
