Ok im new to honda-tech and i know i have alot to learn about tuning, especially on a turbo charged car. I have done alot of research on the different ways to tune a car, ie. honda, uberdata, crome, vafc w/ fmu etc. Now here is my story. I have a 1995 acura integra gsr with headers, intake and exhaust (basic stuff) I want to go turbo. I have been peicing together my own kit and this is what I have so far.

Meutek tubo manifold
Tial wastegate 5 and 7 psi springs
Rev hard Down pipe
Garret t3/t4 turbo A/R .50
IP with precision intercooler
Oil lines
vortech 12:1 fmu
Prelude 320cc injectors

Parts i think i need:
APexi vafc to tune for 5psi (just temporary)

Now at first i wanted to run with an fmu 12:1, stock injectors and a apexi Vafc because i am planning on only running 5psi of boost. This is just temporary. I want to move on to either hondata, uberdata or crome to tune the car instead of the vafc and fmu.

Now here are the quesions that i have about tuning:

Will a 12:1 fmu, stock and injectors, and apexi vafc be suffice for 5 psi of boost?

OR should i run the 12:1 fmu with the prelude injectors (320 cc) and the apexi vafc?

I have got alot of information from here: http://www.beesandgoats.com/bo....html

Please take it easy on me. i know im a noob, im here to learn so telling me to just search is not goin to help since thats what i have been doing. I just want some suggestions from people on what they think would be the best most reliable but cost effective route. Thanks.

u only need one type of ems, fmu or an afc, i ran a fmu for a year with 7psi with no problems, and then i had an afc with 12 psi tunned and no problems, fmu's are good enough for low boost but with a real ems u'll have more power and better gas milage too.

Hey,

If your stuck on using the fmu and the vafc, I would keep the stock injectors and add a inline fuel pump to keep the pressure up while you are in boost.. And from there u can use your vafc to tune the car up a bit..

Or you could just forget about your vafc, fmu, inline pump and get bigger injectors, intank pump and download uberdata for free.. and tune the car this way.

How can you download uberdata for free? Dont you have to get ur ecu chipped/socketed or something like that. Im new to this so im not sure if thats what u have to do or even if thats what its called.

I do appreciate the input though, because i have heard some bad things about fmu
s and vafc's but i think since im only goin to be running 5 psi of boost right then it should be ok right?

spare yourself the trouble.

do it right the first time. save your $$ and forget the vafc and fmu garbage.
