i need help with my turbo set up
sorry guys i dunno if this is a repost question but ill ask anyhow
i have a F23A in an accord and im goin to be putting a turbo kit on it heres what the kit comes with T3 garrett w/ internal wastegate, Side mount intercooler, stock internals on motor
The kit is coming with this for fuel magmt:
Walbro fuel pump
440cc RC injectors
Vortech FMU (deciding to use this or the SAFC)
SAFC II
1.) I should definatley add the fuel pump no matter what correct?
2.)Will the 440's flood out the engine with no type of APR or injector controller? I here they will work with the SAFC but not the FMU.
3.)What should I use here, I realize that the SAFC advances timing out the ***. I think my ideal first setup here would be FMU, 440's and fuel pump....is this possible?
4.)Does anyone run SAFC with FMU? Is this beneficial?

#2..yes, you need some sort of fuel controller (ems)
#3..afc will do the job but there are better options
#4..i was running vafc/440's w/ no fmu..worked ok

i honestly think you should not put a turbo kit on your car if you plan on running all that stuff for fuel managment.........it will not run or not run right....you WILL cause an engine failure.
get a proper engine managment system for it.......convert it to obd1 and run a chipped ECU.. get rid of the FMU and SAFC and just run on a custom programmed chip.

You can do whatever you want, and if I was in your situation and had the stuff I needed to put a turbo on my car I would be putting it on right now-- so go to your garage and get to work. Just go easy on it with the FMU, fuel pump, and use stock injectors for now, then you could go with an AFC hack or a standalone when you have the $$$. Thats what I did and my engine survived through everything (I didnt go easy on it either
)
