Ok if you know what your talking about when it comes to after market computers please give your best answer.
I am set on buying an EMS stinger 4.
I have been told to take the car to the workshop with the loom removed them to hook it up and drive away $2200.
I am wondering how hard is it to do my self?
I would leave the tuning to the experts but fitting it????
I know my way arond the engine bay fairly well, I can read wiring diagrams, I know what all the sensors are, not that there are many left after you fit one of these.
How hard is it to solder a few wires and mount the box where I want it.
Is there any tricks that I should know befor having a go at this?
I am only confused about the things below,
Crank angle sensor, is there one in the 1G dizzy? or do I have to fit one, if so how hard is this part of the conversion?
Setting up the Coil packs, is this as simple as wiring the injectors ect or is it harder than that, if so how hard whats involved?
Thats about all that bothers me, I know mostly everything else I need to know, any guidlines to folow would be good.
Thanks.
I did have to option to buy a second hand one then he changed his mind so I am going for a new one.

Hey dude. It's pretty hard to do.
I got mine done here in Adelaide for $650.
That's a full custom loom wired up for my EMS Stinger.

I don't think wiring is that hard, as long as you know how to read wiring diagram and you know where all your sensors are then it should be ok(should be lot simpler than factory ecu diagram).
But it is fairly time consuming if you are going to do it neat and tidy, and thats why pro charges you that much. Well, definitely not $2000 by the way, but more like $650.

An aftermarket ECU, particularly on an engine as simple as a 1G is a piece of cake. Just follow the diagrams, check and double check everything and above all, take your time! It will be the most rewarding thing you can do once you've finished!
