i was at Import REV and was talking to a guy wtih chicagolands fastest civic at 10 something. anyways, i was telling him i have a vafc and 12:1 fmu and stock injectors still and was tellnig him i wanted 440s and was saying you cant do that .. he said w/out hondata he wouldnt do anything over 310cc?????

i said what about the hack? he still said it wont work.. what is up with that? what do you guys recommend? i dont wanna blow my engine up like someone i know

 

bump

 

he's probably not around the tuning world enough to know about the hack set-ups. He's probably only aware of stand-alone set-ups or stock set-ups (stock ecu limits).
just because he has the "fastest car" doesn't mean he's the smartest.
There is a guy around here that owns a shop (doing quite well actually) and he has a civic that was runing low 12's before he blew the engine, since then he's had it built completely (rods,pistons,sleeved, head work, stand-alone,etc,etc...) thousands invested in this engine, i havent seen it run recently but it should be good for 10's easly. Anyways he's an idiot when it comes to tuning, I asked him a simple question and he had no clue, he knows nothing about tuning, he pays someone else to do it for him. just goes to show just because he owns a fast car doesn't mean he knows everything about it.
there are planty of people on this board that run that set-up with great sucess

 

what do you recommend?

 

do the 440's and v-afc hack.
or try the uberchip.
I'm doing my own version of the hack which involves a 4:1 fmu 310cc injectors, sfc to lean it out a little more. works good for me my air fuel ratio is between 12.0 and 12.5 in boost.
A lot of people have had great sucess with the v-afc hack

 

would it make any difference to do the 440s with vafc hack or do the 440s with uberchip, or 310 with uberchip? im looking for 9 psi, with low fuel pressure
