GReddy kit: is it new or old? (searched)
I just received a GReddy turbo kit for my '98 Integra GS-R (the one that uses the TD05H-18G), and I'm not sure if it is the newer kit with e-manage or the older one with the 'blue box' FCU. I e-mailed the store before I bought it and they said it was the newer one, but now that I have it, I'm not sure if they were right..
The reason I'm asking is because the FCU looks a lot like just a 'blue box', and nothing like the picture on GReddy's website (http://www.greddy.com/products...=1306). I'm not sure if it is just GReddy making it look all sexy for the picture, or if I have the older version. Also the manual doesn't mention anything about e-manage (it just calls it a 'Fuel Control Unit'). Is there any way to tell if what I have is the older kit or the newer one with e-manage?
(The battery on my digital camera just died so I'll have some pictures up in about 20 minutes.)
Thanks.

Re: GReddy kit: is it new or old? (rezo)
Ok heres the pics of the FCU (still in the plastic wrapper in case I have to return it):
that sticker that you can't really read says "USDC2-F40T05" which I assumed is the label for the programming (US - for US-spec smog, DC2 - for Integra...)
and the other side:
(that dot thing on the bottom right is an LED)
Anyone know if this is the dreaded 'blue box' or is it e-manage without the flashy label? Also if it is the blue box, do you think it's worth returning? (I don't expect to have enough money for Hondata or anything for a while..)

lemme guess you turned ur mbc up to like 10psi on a stock block and expected the blue box to compensate? the blue box is just fine for the 5 or so Psi that is intended for.

Blame must be placed somewhere! Just because I'm a dumb *** doesn't mean that I caused the engine failure. Does it? Actually the Blue box was alright. My motor was already fried from bad nitrous management.

i have had nothing but good things to say about the blue box. i have used the blue box in many different temperatures, and different elevations and the car ran good the whole time. could i have made more power, probably....but it did the job and for $70 i dont think you can beat it for lower boost applications

so how exactly did the blue box cause engine failure? not great by any means but a safer alternative to well...using nothing.
