but i have yet to tune it. hopefully i'll have time this weekend? but the point is, we finished the install today. gave it a ride around the block (don't worry, me and the techs kept our eyes on the gauges, so at the first sign of trouble, we could nip it in the ***, but no trouble popped up).

still a few minor tweaks are in the works before it's going to be 100% complete but it's driveable at the moment, if need be. no fluids leaking, nothing melting, no odd noises (that aren't supposed to be there). hopefully this good luck continues.

i didn't take it past 4k, but even there, what little boost was coming through felt great.

i gues i'll keep you all posted

 

sweet man. keep us posted

 

Nice...Post some pics

 

i posted build pics yesterday but the thread was deleted

Well post them again

 

for now i have a vafcII.

given a few months, i'm stepping up to an s200

 

Congrats, but...........ummmmmmmmm.................any details on the builds?

I mean hell, you could have strapped a "Tornado-ator-mobilizer-sonitron" into your intake and called it FI...

 

turbonetics t3/t4 ball bearing
tial 38mm wastegate
hks bov
spearco intercooler
(it's mostly and fmax/turbonetics kit)
running at 6psi for daily driving (no boost controller yet.. i don't plan on bumping it up for a long while)
vortech fmu
apex vafcII

 

Not too bad. Which injectors? Reason asking is you can run the VAFC hack on 450cc blue top's and it will run fairly well. If you need an "intermediate" step between your VAFC and the EMS, then this may be something to consider. It will also let you get rid of that god-aweful FMU.

Although, the Hondata is an excellent piece of machinery.....

 

stock injector so far. according to my wideband, they seem to be doing their job

It's not the injectors, it's the FMU and/or timing that will give you hell. You'll be fine, just take it easy on the motor. I have never trusted the FMU's....

 

Have you considered uberdata man? Because You could sell that vafc and pretty much have enough money to go that route and have a real engine management that is a dead equivilent to the s200. Thats what I ran when I first boosted my 5th gen and it was wonderful, I couldnt recommend it more. I boosted 10psi on an sc44 for about a year, ripped the block apart and the motor and ringlands looked brand new, because what are you going to be doing about timing issues?

 

Keep us updated. Glad you finally finished the project. I'm about half way done.......expect mine in a few months.

 

very nice bro =]

I'll have to find you at a meet around here and check it out.

Oh, and expect mine to be done in 6 months haha

 

Great job!!! Definitely need to see your ride soon!

I was going to go turbo this spring, I'm doing an 18 day cruise instead...

that's what I like to hear!

 

cant wait to see some pics and dyno numbers! good job

 

uberdata is ancient. Go crome.

 

word, crome is good. got a buddy running a built b20vtec with a crome tune. before and after was incredible
