Missing link necessary?
 

hey guys. Ive got my whole revhard setup and was going have it installed tomrrow. However I don't have a missing link... I was wondering if this would pose a problem. I will only be running 7 psi, but I wanted to check if a missing link HAS to be installed. I was going to order one this weekend and put it in next week so I would only be running without one for about 4 days. I just wanted to get the turbo on this weekend because i can't do it in the week between school and work. Any help is appreciated.

u will have to use a missing link if u arent running any kind of fuel management.

Ive got a 12:1 FMU. Is that enough?

Re: Missing link necessary? (CJJones87)
 

No thats not what i meant.i meant crome,uberdata,hondata,aem etc. that type of fuel management.Those programs are meant to read boost ,yer stock ecu isnt.Thats why u use a missing link to trick yer stock ecu so it doesnt read boost.If yer stock ecu reads boost it will go into lymph mode and through a map sensor code.So the to answer yer question,yes get a missing link u need it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

the missing link keeps the MAP sensor from seeing boost. this is why you must have it if you arent running engine management.

just go to a local petsmart or wherever sells oneway checkvalves... for every one checkvalve you can prevent up to 2 pounds of boost from getting to the map sensor... my friend has 4 of these inline to his map sensor and never has map senser problems
goodluck https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

you'll need a missing link or run check valves at the least

Alright. Would I be able to drive the car for less than a week until the missing link gets in the mail or would I be risking blowing my motor or something?

Re: Missing link necessary? (CJJones87)
 

u need the missing link if not the map will see boost and go into limp mode, Check Valves or Missing link, Dont drive with out it

Thanks for the chuckle. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: Missing link necessary? (CJJones87)
 

i ran my turbo on my GSR without it for a couple of weeks i've even had street races... i heard not a good idea, YEAH when you start to boost in the 4-5 lbs the CEL will come on ...try not to boost to high because your ECU will throw a CEL. drive normal and it'll be fine, after the missing link i had no problem... except for my leaning out, which is a different problem ....

Re: Missing link necessary? (CJJones87)
 

w/o it you will get CEL after a few pounds of boost.. i wouldnt drive it unless you really have to. it should be fine for a few days just go easy on it. ebay https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: Missing link necessary? (anguish)
 

OK. Well from what I'm hearing, it'll be OK for a lil while (I'll only be driving without it for about 4-5 days), so I'll just go easy on it until I get it in. Thanks for all the help.

No, spiel. Like "Damn it! I spieled my beer!"

You'll be fine without your missing link as long as you don't try to push it hard. Stay out of boost and you'll be fine.
