i'm currently have my R installing the turbo now (drag 3 gen)
and i dont have money to buy hondata for now, so should i use vafc or safc for now ?
i'm only running 4.4psi, so i dont think i'll need a bigger inject just yet. Will the FMU that come with drag kit food enough ?

anyhow that point is should one is better to use b4 hondata arrive ? S-AFC or V-AFC. and with stock injector with 4.4 PSI will the FMU come with drag kit good enough ?
thanks

 

yes, stay within 4.4psi, you can actually go to 6.5psi ish, just retard your ignition timing about 2-3 degrees or so..you'll be fine

stan

 

arg... call me a dumbass but "retard your ignition timing" how can i do that ? i mean like do i need adjust camgear ? or ...

nope, get a timing gun, then adjust the distributor until you;re at 14-13 degress

stock timing is 16deg

 

i'm running on stock bottom end no management system for my R..yeah, just keep it below 7 psi and that fmu is 12:1 so you'll be running rich...and yes retard ur ignition 2-3 degrees and watch out for summer time!

Good Luck Turbo ITR kick ***

 

id get a vafc over the safc, belive it or not we gained like 5 whp form changing the vtec corssover to 4800 and strightened out the tq curve quite a bit.

 

if you plan to get hondata, dont waste your money on an AFC.

 

man now u r scaring me... "watch out for summer time" is it because engine will give me some trouble or .....

so should i use a different fmu ?

 

a 12:1 fmu might run a little rich. My advice to you is sell the inline fuel pump and the fmu and save a lil more $$ for a standalone. If not, the 12:1 fmu and the inline should be more than sufficient for a mere 4.5psi on a high compression motor.

 

so what kinda standalone should i get ?
and if i ust leave it like that for a while will it be a problem ? really have no money for now ....

 

dude, how much are u spending on the turbo kit? how much is the car worth etc?

And after all that money u have spent u want to skimp on the most important part of the turbo conversion?

 

arg... that's not what i mean, just saying i cant come up any money for now, will it be ok to leave it for a while. i'll have it done in the proper way,but now is just not a good time.

 

This is just me, but if i were u, run the wastegate right open and run no boost, until u can get a computer/fuel control...

Save up for the comptuer u want, dont get a vafc/safc and swap again, its goign to cost u too much
