If the computer is not wired to the engine sensors, thermo fan, fuel pumps, etc or the power to the car you are probably looking at between $500 to $1000 for this to be done. I have recently had a 20V with Microtech wired into my car (AE71) and I was quoted between these ranges. In the end I managed to get it done for $500 and they have done an awesome job. If it is just a case of tapping it through the firewall and wiring it to the power for the car then you would be looking at less than the above obviously. Bear in mind though auto electricians probably charge around $100 an hour so you're probably still looking at around $300 to diagnose what is going on, fix it up and ensure everything is A ok. There would be plenty of places in your state that are capable of doing such a job. I would be enquiring with places to see who is familiar with installing the Wolf System. I only enquired at places who specialised in Microtech and also had some they could show me that were done. You do not want an engine bay that resembles a mess of wires and crap going everywhere. Oh yeah and if you have no idea how to do it then just send it somewhere to be fixed. Your ecu is worth over the $1000 mark you really don't want to blow it up because you do not know what you are doing. Quote

LukeAE71 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Good idea, if there isn't much to do the bill won't be too high. So what happened with this car did he get halfway through the project and give up or?? What other work is required to get it going? Quote

So what happened with this car did he get halfway through the project and give up or?? What other work is required to get it going? as far as i know he lost his licence and started fixing it up. his done a far bit of work to it but yeah he gave up lol, just needs gear shifer put in, inline vl fuel pump, zorst welded on, and the loom wired up. so apart from the loom wire its easy as 1 2 3... i plan on getting coil overs for the front turbo set up later on down the track, atm it only had single wheel diff so lsd or locker will be put in tint the windows and just some small things a long the way. ill get some pics soon for you guys Quote
