Pre-Turbo installation ?'s (some hondata?'s too)
just waiting on a few parts, starting to get way antsy...
maybe i'm just complicating things in my head but i'm a little confused on how i'm supposed to do this....
(i am not the best with a soldering gun & do not find myself capable of installing the hondata)
1. After installing my kit, should I install the 550's without hondata hooked up?(i'm guessing no, it won't idle will it?). Stupid question, but just wondering...
2. is it safe to drive my car(without hondata & injectors-with only aem fpr, aem fuel rail, walbro intank), assuming i stay out of boost and drive like my grandma, to Import Builders(50 miiles) to have my hondata installed & tuned?
3. should i dyno my car before the turbo to get an a/f read out? i was told this would help with tuning.
4. What else do you think I should look into getting? or need?
5. HP+1/4 concerns aside, this is my daily driver, and will remain it. aside from getting a beater(insurance sucks), what mods will help me out? I drive a lot, road trips are common, anything I can do to help myself out
garret t3/t4, hks ssq bov, greddy profec b & tt
maxrev intercooler/manifold/2.5" downpipe
thermal 3", 3" carsound cat
stainless steel oil lines, apexi filter, drag piping
clutchnet stage II, pwr radiator, ngk plugs
hondata S200, 550 injectors from viren
aem fuel rail, aem fpr, walrbo intank, new honda fuel filter..
skunk2 coiilovers(+a set of drag springs for track days) kyb gsx.
and ordering tomorrow... inline pro headgasket, skunk2 cam gears (new timing belt, tensioner, water pump too)
i don't plan on building until i have to, but i definitely will...
phew, ok, any help would be appreciated. a lot of work ahead of me. but i'm sure it'll be fun, up until i start doing it
great memories... oil in the eyes, cuts everywhere, ruined clothes, oil stains, hundred trips to pep boys, unhelpful friends, angry girlfriend, angry parents, bumming rides, knuckle biters, sweaty latex gloves... barrels of fun. i'm looking forward to it again.

Re: Pre-Turbo installation ?'s (Ruckus138)
If I were you, id send the OBDI ecu to your tuner, he will prep the ecu and burn a nice base map given you have given the specs of the car, that way you can go ahead and install the injectors and hondata, and you can drive there to tune it.
Dont worry about dyno'ing it until you get the turbo and hondata on.
