i know thats why ill just look and look intill i find one...
i was but then thought about it and just gonna wait for that.... of course i cant boost a high compression motor! so later on like in a year or 2 ill start building a fs-de!
im up for it!
Dude. Save yourself a headache. If you're already going to be ******* around with wiring to do an FS-ZE, don't build an FS-DE for boost. I'd say use a motor that didn't suck complete balls when it was originally built. BP, KL swaps are both much better starting points.
As THE Phen said, it's a wiring nightmare. Even with the ECU it's not a plug-and-play affair. If you're dead set on running the FS-ZE you're better off finding an aftermarket ECU. Megasquirt or Haltech Sprint 500 come to mind. It'll require the same amount of wiring, but you'll likely come away with more power/torque if you can get it tuned correctly. Also don't forget the 91+ octane fuel...
...and after all that you'll have netted yourself ~40 whp.

It's custom. I'm running 2.5" all the way back to a Flowmaster 2-chamber muffler with a custom exhaust tip welded on.

I tried capturing it, but it doesn't do it justice. First of all, My flip Mino (non HD
) makes it sound incredibly raspy, when in all reality it has deep sexy tone. Secondly, I appologize for all the spitting. I had a bad sparkplug and MAF, I changed it the following weekend after shooting this.Just got my new work phone, they hooked us up with Samsung Galaxy SII 4G touch's. Maybe I can get a 1080p video with better quality now that I have new spark plugs and a new MAF

Sure he can boost a hp compression motor with lots of meth injections, way retarded boost, and very low boost but it can be done... or he can just boost it and join the zoom zoom boom club
You don't really need any of that. Proper tuning and a decently strong bottom end and you won't hurt anything.

Need moar resonator.
yeah I did a res delete since it was killing most of my sound. is there such thing as a high flow res, in a sense? Something other than the stock that tones it down a bit but not as much?

couldnt say it better! boosting a high compression motor is a waste of time lol
