It's a wonderful car all on its own. I have yet to see a boosted car that survives well unless meticulously maintained by its owner. You're not ready. Hell, maybe you'll get what you want out of the car by learning to drive it the way it wants to be driven, not by changing it. That can be a lot of fun. Hang out with other local owners if you can. Use google to search this site. NVM the forum tool. It sux. Just add "site:ft86club.com" to your search string. If you search and find a thread that seems to come close to your question, don't be afraid to revive it.

Also, humility is a good thing. Why be embarrassed about receiving direct answers to a painfully noob question? Laugh it off. Move on.

Read some build logs, see what you like, find out all you can on the subject. Then once you feel like you are starting to understand it, if you still don't have an answer to your original question and you can't seem to find anything else that might answer it, you are probably educated enough to form a better question. We all start somewhere and while there are unfriendly people in every community you don't have to let them get you down. Most of the time they are well meaning and just don't understand how to talk to new or ignorant people. Don't take it as a personal attack but as a frustrated person trying to help you the only way that they know how. Keep on going. There is so much to learn here!

Learn how to drive your car well as-is. There are a lot of people in more powerful "better" cars who won't be able to scrape you off of their tail when you do. Don't be the guy who's only skill is mashing the gas pedal. |

OP: After doing your research and you still want to tune and FI. Find a reputable speed shop near you and ask them questions. If you choose to work with them ... they would probably prefer that THEY have total control of your car (tune, etc. etc.).
Make sure they are reputable. Did I mention? Make sure they are a REPUTABLE shop with great credentials.

Yes.
Every time you change an engine or management component the tuning parameters will have to be changed to accommodate it. You will not achieve anything by tuning once and subsequently swapping out parts. That will only put the ECU out of range.

Quoted for emphasis. Not trying to be mean but please just READ as much as possible. This is a simple question as you admit and FI is not something to go into wothout some more knowledge.

So do Russia and China and I don't envy them as countries either.

If you're a newb, then why mod?
You just have to ask yourself the simple question that only you can answer: why do I want to modify my own car? What don't I like about it? Answer those questions first and then the answers you want will show up faster. -alex |

So in case this wasn't already answered properly, a tune needs to be made for a specific set of parts. If you change those parts, you need a different tune. This only counts for certain parts that change the way the engine breaths, or drinks, or fires (injectors, headers, cylinder bore, etc.), and won't matter so much for things like (obviously) cosmetic parts, or just a catback exhaust. For a supercharger, that for sure changes the way the engine behaves so you'd need a new tune. That would just mean you kinda spent extra money on a tune you only used for a bit. I'd recommend looking into the Jackson Racing supercharger, since you can buy it with a CARB legal tune that pops right on. That will work well for you, as long as you don't have any other modifications like a swapped header that would then further change the needed tune. Make sense?
