Me and my friend have basically everything need to hook up the turbo but he doesnt want to run it until we know the lowest amount of tuning needed for a week until i get my chipped computer... Im going to run metal piping from turbo to PVC... i need to know the cheapest fittings needed, and the base amount of tuning so my engine wont get any blow by within a week.. the wastegate spring is set to 12lbs boost.... please help me out... i can use my friends SAFC2 to tune and borrow it for a week... lmk.. thanks.. no time to search everything... i want the turbo on by Sat night...

i have

oil feed line
HF Manifold
dsm turbo
downpipe
volkwagen diverter valve (bov)
Manual Boost Control
Boost Guage
Some Intercooler piping....

I'm ordering a dsm sidemount also...

 

12lbs of boost and no tuning good luck with that one.

How are you going to tune the safc2? Do you have a wideband or access to one? Or are you just going to put some numbers in and hope it works?


Why not just wait till you have everything you need instead of doing it half ***.

I agree. If you dont your going to end up blowing it up then have a big problem.

 

also for got what are you using for injectors?
What about oil return line?
So you are going to run this at first with no IC? And use pvc pipes for your IC pipes? Did I read that correctly?
Are you going to run a missing link? How are you going to run a stock ecu with out throwing a code once you hit boost?

 

need more info...

 

I see no injectors, and no EMS... Peace out engine.

Ummm... if you are going to use the hack for fuel management you are going to need to keep the SAFC2 in your car.... and run larger injectors... I hope that is what you were going to do and I just misunderstood...

 

i have a wideband, no ic at first... and using pvc for turbo piping except near the manifold... safc2 for now then uberdata chipped p28 with data logger.... dsm injectors, have to buy return line, and fittings.... but i need to know what fittings and if the wideband with safc2 is going to be enough until i can edit my fuel maps, launch control, v-tec, and use the turbo map editing ****...im using side mount ic as soon as it arrives..but im running dsm injectors... just waiting until the computer and **** come... and i already have a cel until i run the obd2 to obd1 harness which im waiting for too... i have manual boost control so we are going to turn it down to about 5lbs....

You dont "hook up" a ******* turbo..

I might be having a brain fart but I thought you can not turn down the boost lower then the wastegate spring. So if you are running a 12lb spring you can not run lower then 12 lbs.

You can't turn the boost lower than the wastegate spring with a MBC

I use a -10an for my drain line, that 's what most people have and it works great...

And I would wait for your real fuel management if I were you... You are only going to hurt your engine.

I second everything that is stated here. Just wait untill you have everything, you will thank us for telling you this.

 

you will be fine, 12psi, dick for tuning, pvc piping, tiny injectors. I would say slap a half a dozen washers under the wastegate spring and you will have yourself a fine little gocery getter/claymore mine on wheels enjoy

 

is it jus me or did you say your gonna run uberdata then you said turbo edit... which is it son. obd1 - uber and obd0 - turbo edit. make ur choice

stock map sensor sense up to 14.75 lbs or w/e before sensing boost so why would i need a missing link...???

Seriouly you need to search or just try what you think will work then come back on here and tell us how you blew your motor.

Stock map sensor is not good up to 14.75psi. But if you think yours can do up to 14.75 go for it.

Need a missing link b/c um lets think about this. You are running a stock ecu. Last time I check stock civics did not come turbo charged so unless your ecu is designed to see boost you are going to throw a code. Maybe code 3 or code 5.

Now if you are going to borrow your friends safc then maybe you will not need the missing link but what happens when you give it back and run on your stock ecu again?

really I never knew 90% of stock map sensors can read past 12 psi.

But hey like I said if you think it can read up to 14.75 by all means go for it.

 

sorry man i edited that post
