Its an AWEsome idea!!

Will take some work to get it to function right, but my understanding is its good for upwards for 20hp gains!

Good luck,

and do a search. I know this was covered fairly in-depth a while back.

only way you'd get 20 hp out of it is to swap the ECU and everything over.

you will have to run the afm. i am pretty sure it doesnt take much to do the 2nd gen intake manifold swap though.

Like the thread suggests:
It is considered an "upgrade" to the SE setup. Much of this comes from a larger AFM inlet. The intake manifolds and throttle body is a slightly better design but I beleive 20hp is a bit much to expect. FC's made 146hp compared to the 135hp of the SE. FC 13bs had lighter rotors and a different ECU running it all.

Personally, I would save my time and get a Weber. If ya just love that EFI, Haltech and the FC intake....then you will see your 20hp and a horizon of possibility

Good luck

Send an email to Kevin at Rotary Ressurection.com

He did this mod to my SE (and I LOVE it!), but he can explain what all is needed.

i donot know if the s4 injection will be worth your time. you will not see much gain (probably 10-15hp)
