should i use e-manage or vafc2 on my setup? TURB SWAP QUESTION
i just bought a turbo kit off a 7thgencivc member http://www.7thgencivic.com/for...22621 its the tsi kit (not sure if its the extreme kit but i guess thats all they sell for d17??) it has 2 extra injectors and im wondering whats best for me to get?
e-manage or vafc-2??? i can get either one at like 35% off or something
i need whichever one is best for me because im doing an ex headswap so ill also need it to be capable to be wired in to control vtec so i dont need the ex ecu (i know vafc-2 can do this but can e-manage do this too?) also if i use one of these will i have to toss out my current fuel management thing?(cheapo one came with kit)
this kit came with a garret m24 (i was told this is same thing as t25) can i just swap this turbo out with a t3/t4 or would i need to do any slight mods or is it just impossible?

As far as between the two for fuel/ignition management the e-manage is superior. I dont have Vtec on mine, but as i recall the e-manage is supposed to be able to control it. You may want to search 7thgencivic.com some more

I would get the emanage. The emanage can control your vtec. It can also control the additional 2 injectors that come with your kit. Also take a look at the emanage ultimate, its more expensive but closer in comparison to a standalone than any other piggyback unit

Why would you buy a turbo kit and then change out the turbo before youve even run it? Might as well just peice one together in that case. If the turbo is the same as a t25 (flanges and such) then you cant swap a t3/t4 turboin place. The t3/t4 uses a t3 flange which is much larger than a t25 flange. You can run a gt28 turbo or a ball bearing t25.
