I just traded one of my mustangs for an '88 CRX Si and a turbo kit. I've installed the turbo and need to know what to do as far as tuning, i'd like to do it myself, nothing is done to the motor i'm gonna limit it to 7 or 8 lbs of boost but how big of an injector do i need, fuel pump?, FMU?

 

ooh, this should be fun. are you familiar with hondas at all? there are a number of ways to go about this, if you have experience with tuning and are confident in your abilities, then tune away. if not, seek a local professional but, there are different ways of going about this, a popular and cheap injector choice is that of a dsm, i believe they are about 450cc iirc, and your stock honda ones are 240cc, you may want to look into a fuel pump as well. now as for tuning, you can use a piggyback unit if you know what youre doing, or you can chip your pm6 ecu and use crome or turboedit if you really know what youre doing. check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com http://www.pgmfi.org

but most of all, i say SEARCH, because everything ever even remotely to do with tuning a honda, is on this site.

 

oh, and welcome

 

Thank you for the welcome, i know nothing of Hondas. I've always drawn my enjoyment from mustangs and with the gas crunch 400hp feels good but not at the pumps. So dropping some weight and playing with what feels like a gokart seemed like the next best thing. I have a light grasp on tuning, enough to get myself in trouble, but i want to learn. Thanks for the links.

I'll try and get some pics this week i've got the car at work an i just took the week off. The car actually has some good parts on it. The car i traded for it looked like an absolute wreck. I was told that the next step in the vehicles build up would be the install of the turbo but people are pretty shady. I don't even know where the ECM is. Its running kinda fat right now but I really need to get a wideband ego for it and some tuning stuff, probably TurboEdit Its got disc brakes on the rear, drilled and sloted rotors, coil overs, some kind of track bar that bolts onto the rear suspension, i took of the header for the turbo, poly mount inserts, a big friggin tach, boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery is in the hatch, short throw shifter kit, alum flywheel, full metalic four puck clutch, MSD 6A box, and some forged Motegi wheels.

 

Pics? Sound like a nice setup!

If you were tuning your mustangs using a MAF.... throw everything out the window. Hondas use a 1 bar MAP sensor

Get uberData and an EPROM burner. You can D/L the software and get familiar with it before you even touch a chip.
