VAFC Hack or FMU and Inline pump
I have a 01 Prelude and just purchased a Rev Hard Turbo kit and plan to run stock boost. I've searched and read the 44 pages of the official prelude turbo thread,
but still can't decide on what is more reliable. The situation I’m in is like all of you guys know it comes with a FMU 12:1 and Inline fuel pump. The tuner I'm going with recommended to ditch the FMU and Inline fuel pump and go with VAFC hack. I do have a VAFC in my car right now, so that’s already there for me. The only thing I would have to buy is injectors and resistors right? The reason why he recommended ditching the FMU and Inline fuel pump is that. My car will run more psi of fuel in my for example 140 psi with FMU vs. VAFC hack 40-50psi stock and the more psi fuel going through my car the more chances something will happen. I know that these fuel management techniques aren’t really recommended, but I plan in the future to run Hondata.Which Fuel management would you go with for the time being and what injectors would you get if VAFC hack is your recommendation. The tuner recommended 450 DSM Blue tops is he right? Sorry for making this long and cheers in advance.
Please pick the following options and why you choose that option
Option A: FMU and inline fuel pump
Option B: VAFC Hack
