Whelp, got the ol taxes check back today; all $450.43 of it. I need it spent, fast; before my parents find out about it . No, j/k. I dedicated this check to my EF in celebration of the recent turbo and what not. Here's what I have so far:

88 Civic HB
ZC Longblock/Si tranny
ACT 6 puck/eXtreme PP
Fidanza 9lb flywheel
Greddy TD04H turbo w/:
Trust FMIC
DSM 1g BOV
Vortech 12:1 FMU
Check valves (WOOHOO)
2.5" Catback w/ RActive muffler
MSD 6A, Accel Coil w/ modded cap
Autometer Boost, A/F, Oil Pressure guages, 5" Tach
16" Motegi MR8 wheels w/ Kumho Supra 712 (215/40/16's)
91 CRX door panels (Who says these wont work w/ an 88 )
Clear corners/bumpers, etc, etc...

I just got the DSM BOV welded on, and it's friggin awesome. I am headin over today to get the 450cc injectors. So the FMU will be replaced w/ 450cc's and either the SMC or custom circuit.

So I'm down to like $375. What next???

K&N filter if you're using a cheapo

Magnaflow muffler to replace that Ractive thing....

TurboXS High perf boost controller

Cam gears

Just a few ideas.

 

Boost Controller...

 

Get it dyno tuned!

 

save and invest in a standalone.

 

the smc device or vafc and some 440s would be a great replacement for the fmu setup.

 

Ok.

So right now, this is what I have planned:

Getting valves adjusted
DSM 450cc's (Got today)
SMC (Or custom circuit)

Now, as far as tuning, what can I do really? I talked to a couple of shops, and since I am going w/ the 450's, they said that I would pretty much need to have the fuel set at a baseline in order for those to work right; and couldn't really do much more adjustment than that. Other than the normal tune-up (Wires, plugs, cap/rotor, filters, etc), what tuning can I get done?

yeah man, get a godamned hondata. you can get then, sell your fmu and pump and still have some chump change left over that's what I'd do.

 

yup dito to that,
-convert over to OBD1 and get hondata2 and tune it.

 

FPR&Gauge? Then Dyno tune. They can do some pretty good tuning with just the FPR and timing. And if you use a wideband you'll know exactly how much fuel you need/dont need. Or cut the Ractive off at the 90deg bend(you know what Im talking about) and get a clean weld and piping. Did you figure out the tranny thing yet? If not then do that. Or Axles and some baby slicks. Just throwing stuff out there.
