thumbs up to the SMC+
finally got the car running last night (ended up being a grounding issue) and took it for a spin.
The car idles just like stock, and vacuum to boost transitions are seamless. The car seems like a factory boosted car and pulls VERY hard. The funny part is, the car drives a LOT better than it did with the PMS.

Re: thumbs up to the SMC+ (bQQsted hybrid)
I like to hear good things about the SMC. Lately I've been wondering if I should sell mine and just go with an AFC hack until I build my block and get Hondata. Hopefully we continue to hear good things.

Re: thumbs up to the SMC+ (LSDelSol)
can you give the specs of your turbo and how the car runs in the rpms you have tuned for more fuel(boosting), but when you are not boosting. how long did it take you to tune it well?

Re: thumbs up to the SMC+ (keebler65)
I was kind of at an advantage since I had a PMS in my car before. I was running RC 550cc injectors with the PMS, so I just took the set-up chart that I had made for the PMS and multiplied everything by 0.8 (440/550 = 0.8) to get the rough values for the DSM 440cc injectors.
The AVC-R still needs to be dialed in, because it's letting the boost spike and making me lean out up top. I plan to resolve all those issues tonight.
To answer some of your questions, the turbo is a T3/TO4E (i'll have to double check for the exact specs), custom turbo kit/fuel system. Part throttle is extremely smooth, like I said, it feels like a factory boosted car. There was no problems with the install or adjustments, I even got rid of the missing link.
I will post up all my settings when I get off of work.

As for the hesitation problem found on the VAFC hack we will be releasing a device to resolve this called the DBS. Stay tuned.

Re: thumbs up to the SMC+ (zip)
So Zip, does the new device you are creating solve the same hesitatoin issue with the smc+? I am really having a hard time figuring out what is going on with mine. The smc+ does create the same issue correct? If not what makes it differ in the SMC+ that does not. I know you are the man to ask this stuff to?

Re: thumbs up to the SMC+ (Boostfed)
to you Mario! Glad to see you didnot give up on the car. More competition for the year now. Gimme a call or AIM Boostfed1320
I did see Wells' supra though, and it was BEAUTIFUL, inside and out. Good luck with your project man I'll give you a call.By the way, for anyone that interested in the settings I put into the SMC+, don't hold me to the settings I posted above. I changed them last night, and it's not leaning out up top anymore. I'll post them up tomorrow. (they should only be used as a starting point anyway since every car is different).
