Don't waste on the car! Save it for a down payment on a house man. I've pissed money away and I have other friends that have pissed court settlements away on cars and other bullshit. A house keeps its value man save for your future. Please take this advice.

Stay away from the AEM EUGO with dsmlink. It does not log correctly.

I actually forgot to mention that too! I personally use a Zeitronix ZT-2 and have it wired in through the EGRTemp input. Works great for me

Read up here and here for more information regarding after market sensors and DSMLink.

You may also have to add new fans to your list. An HX35 along with the VRSF short route FMIC may cause clearance issues with the stock fans. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong...

My UEGO logs just fine, I don't know what you guys are talking about...

I don't think the AEM UEGO is unusable, but look into the Innovate LC-1. If nothing else, it is more accurate then the AEM.

They both use Bosch O2 sensors. The LC-1 has an auto calibration each AEM UEGO sensor is individually calibrated and a resistor integral at the connector body is laser trimmed with this value. This process replaces the traditional “free air” calibration procedure when changing sensors and implements a sensor specific calibration for unparalleled accuracy.

Do you have any proof showing that the LC-1 is more accurate?

I'm guessing you copied that straight from AEM's website, but no I haven't ever used the AEM UEGO personally so I can't say anything definitively. I only said that because it's what I always was told. I do know I've never heard anyone complain about the Innovate LC-1 and I personally like it. There are two people in this thread alone that recommend staying away from the AEM UEGO. Like I said, I have no personal experience with it so maybe someone else who does can chime in about it.

I went to both websites to get the most accurate info of each, there is little to no differences in the two widebands. I like the look of the AEM the gauges look to be built better IMO. Plus I run all AEM Gauges anyways so they match and I have 1999 cluster so they white / silver matches perfectly.

Don't mind the richness at idle, the car wasn't tuned in that video. Or the dirtyness of the car it hasn't been washed for quite some time, I don't drive it often in the past 4 month it has moved twice for about 80 miles.

i was always under the understanding the uego was a very good unit and easy to tune with, and also i dont think there are clearance issues with the fans on a 2g, that was a 1g problem.

honestly i think you should do what feels right for you. i mean if you have your goal set on what you want to do then go ahead just dont go to far with spending the money you got. outside of that i would go for a cheaper exhaust like a apex exhaust they are alot cheaper my friend has one on his evo but now he is looking into a borla. u would save a good 300 dollars off the exhaust

im not going apexi exhaust again, they are crap in my personal opinion. They sound good for awhile but because they are non stainless they rot in the oregon weather we have here. I got mine a year ago and the back of the muffler has already rotted out. Thats why i am going with a stainless unit. Its between the ssautochrome Turbo back for 465 shipped or the hks carbon ti. I just love the look of that muffler soo much

Those rims are sick man! It's your money so do with it what you want.

If I were in your position I'd probably spend most of it on my car aswell.

haha i actually change my mind on the rims im gonna run trackstar 5 wheels 18x8 40mm offset

I agree - invest.

if you want a reliable 400hp dsm its going to take some money but it sounds like you have. id say for fuel system run like me i have FFWD fuel kit -6an braided lines all the way from tank to rail fuel lab fuel filter 1g rail wit fpr thats what on my car with a 255. and if you have the money y not do a t3 manifold and get some more out of it becuase 375hp wont be hard on a hx35 why not build it to push a bit more. iv learned it only seems fast for a week then you want more
