So i got my kit on my car, drove it for about a month with stock ecu an no WG spring, turbo never got over 3psi.
Then, last week i put on my TT 550CC injectors, my OBD1 p28 with base map bought from pharable.net for my applacation. I also have a vafc in my car aswell. So, Started right up, life is good! now i have some questions about BASE MAPS working together an my VAFC.

So my car was WAY fast with just the base map, so i added some fuel around the time when my turbo spools like 4k all the way to about 8k to be on the safe side. I DONT wanna blow it up! I dont drive it to hard like this, i shift highest at like 5200. But i dont touh boost much.

Q is the vafc going to make things worse? Im not trying to tune it im trying to make sure it wont blow befor i can get tuned. Witch should be with in a month or so.

Q- I turned v-tec off cause a Tuner told me that timing needs to be right for a FI car with v-tec to have the right timing curve. An that it is better safethen sorry....


I have been searching day an night for months as i put it together an still have some questions about my set up. So any info will help me out!

I have all the info needed so if you need info to give it let me know! thanks for reading

 

you dont need a vafc. Sell it and use the money you get from it to pay for your tune.

 

nice setup you have there almost same as mine yea i wouldnt even mess with vafc unless you know exactally what your doing even so i heard there nothing good. just get rid of that and go get it tuned i suggest neptune software. and get it tuned by a good tuner.

 

Get rid of the VAFC like everyone else says, since you have a fully tuneable ecu use that instead. Crome works way better then the old apexi unit. Basemaps arent the best to just throw in and drive your car SPECIALLY on a turbo car. It will get you around but have it tuned!!!

So last night i got board an i beat a 02 wrx 14psi. I only ran 5psi lol

 

keep the vafc just don't wire up the map sensor wires looks neat is about it, but for tuning its ***, you would have to look at map's and how the safc translates to fool the ecu to giving it more or less fuel to understand correctly..

 

You can run the afc + the basemap if you choose to.

You really need to get your self a wideband oxygen sensor kit if you have not already so you can monitor your air fuel ratios. You should also make sure you are running stock distributor timing values (16.5 deg btdc).
