2001 Base H22A4 manual

setup being bulit:
2.4L stroker with 11.0:1 pistons
ferrea +1 valves with upgraded valvetrain
port/polish, upgraded cams

trying to do this on somewhat of a budget, doing all labor myself to save. so if possible, i would rather use a VAFC setup rather than stand alone to save on equipment, and it would be cheaper to tune. not building a racecar, just quick street, occasional track day. trying to make sure that ludes do not use the 5V ULEV O2 sensor, since i hear that VAFC does not take to it very well. Also would a VAFC keep the mixture right if i went with a different TB intake mani combo? the tuner i am working with said that may cause trouble too. if anyone has any input on this, please post up.

 

any info would help

i'm going to try my best not to bash the VAFC:

Get an obd2 to obd1 adapter harness, a p28 and uberdata. &lt;-- sounds like a perfect setup for you because you said you were a DIYer.. VAFC are funky little toys but they wont do nearly as much as being able to edit every bit of yoru timming and fuel maps along with many other things...

~$150 for p28 civic ecu
~$150 for jumper harness
~$50 to 'socket' the ecu.
~free for uberdata software
~??? for tunning...

if your tunner is any good with Hondas he'll be able to get your engine running better with uberdata than with a VAFC no question about it.

http://www.efitunningforless.com has great customer service.

you'll lose your IAB, EGR and knock sensor with a p28 but you'll find many high power H22A's without those features anyway...

 

see that seems more reasonable price wise. is this the setup you are running in your CRX? if so have you come across any problems? checked out that site, and that seems like a good option.

socket means to add a 'socket' to the ecu so it will accept eprom chips making it fully programmable..



see the blue 'socket'?

You'll find all the info you could ever ask for on uberdata on HT and on Google.. check out the website.. http://www.ecimulti.org/uberdata

As for problems... you can't really have any problems because its a stock ECU. it takes a bit of reading to learn how to impliment and use this system but it's well worth it!! and yes, i am running this in my car but haven't had any time to really play with it yet because i sort of took some of the engine apart..

 

yeah sorry i went to the site you listed first and learned what it meant. thanks for the info!!
