i just got my motor and turbo kit back into the car, the engine has just been rebuilt with crower rods and je/srp pistons... i have an fmu, bbk fuel pump, missing link, and a hacked ecu. the car has a 2.5 down pipe, but the rest of the piping is stock (i know it's killing power) my question is, what kind of fuel management should i use, and what are the limits on psi. i keep getting mixed opinions about it's potential! i also want to know if it is cool to break the motor in with the kit on, this is something that people keep giving different answers to also!

of this is not enough info, just ask what you need to know! thanx peeps

 

bump!

 

Several good options for standalones out there, just get whatever your tuner is comfortable with. On the how much boost, is the block sleeved? It all depends on how aggressive your tune is. Seen cars make 500whp with stock sleeves, seen stock sleeves crack at 250whp, it's all in the tuning.

 

thanks, anybody else! i heard and have seen a few guys on h-t just running a vafc, would that do the trick!?

 

if you just spent ALL that money on getting your engine rebuilt like that, dont go cheesy on your engine management. go for hondata, or AEM ems. they are a little spendy, but worth every penny IMHO

 

Definetely look into something more than a VAFC. I'd suggest a GReddy E-Manage over that VAFC. I heard it's upgradeable with sensors and such.

However, more of a "complete" system is what I would look into. Why not try AEM, those are "user-friendly" and more common. I seen Signal use an AEM management system in one of their Silvias, so it should be good.

Really though, how much boost and power are you looking for? And WHERE in your powerband are you looking to have that power applied?

 

first off, thanks for the help guys, this is the third motor so i want it to last!

i want the car to be very street/ light to light friendly! the turbo is large for a sohc so it does lag a bit, i want to shift around 8,500! the motor is not that crazy, besides the rods and pistons it has a block guard so by no means is it bomb proof! i want a system that will work for my application, not something that i can't use to it's full potential! any other opinions!

once again thanx for your help peeps !

 

how bout a bump!
