My 01 lude will be out of the shop next week my setup is...

head is stock

Block:
darton sleeves
cp 9:1 pistons
eagle rods

Turbo setup:
turbonetics t3/t04e turbo
equal length manifold
spearco fmic
all custom ic piping

Fuel:
rc 370cc injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
fpr
V-AFC

My ? is that this a a auto tranny car which i dont have the money to swap a 5 speed right now because my motor blew and the first thing on my priority list to get fixed was the motor... so im dealing with the tranny for now... i was running 8psi on my old setup with the fuel management listed above... I know that its not the best fuel setup to run a lot of boost and im aware the i need bigger injectors to up the psi more... But what kind of engine management would you guys recommend running on this car being it is auto? I dont want to **** up my newly built motor... Im only lookin for a reliable way get to about 300-350whp for now...
thanks for the help

 

what you have is basically the only thing you can use. those ecu's suck to work with specially with the 01 auto or SH.

AFC, 550cc injectors, FMU, Intank Pump, T3/T4 and i put down 325wHP for 2 1/2 years as a daily driver on a stock motor. Then ran 404wHP for about 3months before taking the motor out and building it.

Stay simple for know and keep the boost under 15psi until your ready to change to Hondata or AEM.

OhYa!! that tranny will last about 1000mile at 300+HP before it starts slipping bad, so i would keep the boost real low and drive it normal til you have the loot to upgrade to 5spd.

Why'd you spend all that money on building the block when you have an auto tranny? That seems backwards to me

I thought the most you could run was 11psi on the hack??

 

well i didnt plan on doing it that way ... The motor blew very unexpectedly...

 

greddy e-manage is not bad for the auto's.

 

would running e-manage be a more reliable way to run say 12-14psi?

Dude, you won't get anywhere near those boost levels with an auto tranny. I mean you can, but your tranny will be gone faster then the boost will spool

And once you get a 5-speed, you'll want a better ems then greddy. Hondata, Uberdata and AEM are the way to go.
