Okay so high compression plus boost equals problems? The b18c1 is a high compression engine... am I right? Well please, I need help so I know not to blow my **** up. I only wanna run like 5-6 pounds of boost. Help!

 

people do it all the time, with way more boost than 6 lbs, on gsr, type r, rsx, b16's you just need to make sure you have proper fuel management, and a good tune

You really don't have problems until you get past 11:1 compression with boost. A GSR has 10:1 compression right?? That's what I've been told at least. You can run low boost on that all day as long as you tune it right, with good fuel management.

 

u can have 11.1 compression and still boost but It can be safe with any compression. Tunning is the key.

 

Okay, so I know proper fuel management is a must... Now the question remains this. An FMU (which I hear is crude and crappy), the AFC hack is kinda popular, or the famous OBD1... chipped. Who says what and why? Thanks again for the help... it means a lot... I love you guys.

FMU's have been ran pretty successfully. I've seen some really fast turbo cars with just an FMU. I don't recommend AFC's for certain reasons: http://www.pgmfi.org/twiki/bin...sSuck

I agree with this guy when it comes to afc's.

I recommend a chipped ecu running Uberdata, or Crome. This is a really inexpensive way to do it, and very affective. It pretty much does the same things as Hondata, but with a few less bells and whistles. I also recommend getting a datalogging unit, and a wideband 02 sensor/controller, and an EGT sensor. This will allow you to datalog information on what's going on inside your engine, and it'll allow you to tune your car.

The best and most expensive way to go, is to get a standalone engine managment system such as AEM's EMS, which replaces your factory computer. You need to find a specially trained tuner to tune your car with it, but these EMS's are extremely versatile, and you can pretty much do anything with them. But these are extremely expensive. AEM's unit runs like 1200 dollars.

I am running Uberdata. I chipped my own ECU, and I have yet to tune it on a dyno, but it's ready when I do decide to do this. I just made it run with a little more fuel to compensate for the extra airflow from my bolt-ons.

 

I ran a JRSC with 8 psi of boost for 18,000 miles no problems. That is until I sucked a manifold bolt that wiggled loose. Well good luck on your setup.

 

So, I guess a chipped ECU is looking good for me... have you read anything about AFC hack? Would I need anything to run the ECU... like any kinda of piggy back? Could I put a piggy back on my OBD2? Could I use Hondata to run my setup with my OBD2? Hondata has turbo management system right? Thanks again, lots of help.

 

if your gonna run just 5-6psi then you really wont need much , a FMU will kill your gas milage under boost..i suggest hondata very cheap compared to everything else and Apexi controller will run you 300+ so just spend 400 and get hondata S200 and get it tuned you have all you EVER need to tune your car, and you can make it as drivable as possible


as far as boost, the GSRs and type R's there are a lot of peolpe running 10psi daily on them..just make sure fuel is right...you can run as much boost as you want with any compression for the most part as long as your block is strong and its tuned right...

Okay, sounds good. Does Hondata plug into the ECU or that plug just to the right of the center council? The one they use for emmisions...?

 

hondata plugs into your ecu, it can do everything a stand alone does almost with 100% less hastle
