yo whats up all...


my first post

just got a new civic hatchback, 93 with a b18c1 swap and greddy 18g turbo

got a apexi vafc...

im trying to find the blue box that comes with the turbo to make sure its working properly.

310cc injectors

i dont know what it looks like or where to find it... im a newb to turbo's and im not mechanic..

i dont have hondata or a vafc hack.

thanks

 

It should be near the ecu on the passenger's side, maybe under the carpet?

 

try looking around where ur ECU is should be around there

 

no where to be seen under there..

i ripped out the carpet.. got the ecu its a obd1 95 gsr.. got all the wires from the apexi vafc there no problem, thats installed properly, but i dont see any blue box there at all!!!!

yikes!

no beatings

anybody got any recomendations to set VAFC WOT to??? +36 ?? maybe??

im getting dyno tuned tomorrow.. but i cant believe theres no blue box!

 

Your blue box should be wired into your ECU harness. If you pulled back the carpet exposing the ECU and there was no blue box.... you must not have one?

Is your car running? You said you have a VAFC but no hack? What fuel management are you using?

 

I really really hope you have some sort of fuel mangement running

 

well i just double checked and all i see is the vafc wires.. i dont know about the fuel management running... ouch!

im getting it dyno'd tomorrow.. would that help at all??

car runs fine....

my air/fuel autometer, says im running rich most of the time until i punch it and the turbo and vtec kicks on then it goes lean!

maybe you have an fmu.

 

how would i know if i have an fmu???

someone said have 2 fuel something or others.. man im sorry i'll just have to post a picture of the engine and let me know.. although its dark here, so i cant do it tonight.

 

maybe youre just not running a bluebox, and instead a fmu w/missing link, different injectors, fuel pump etc..

 

How are you going to make sure it works properly when you can't even find it? You may notice that the wires are spliced to the ecu.l

Can you run a blue box without the fmu and missing link.
Can you run a blue box with a vafc?

 

yes , but I wouldnt recommend using the vafc on top of the blue box. Its better just to get rid of the box and get a better engine management system (hondata, aem, emanage), one that is tunable

 

what would you recommend for an EE 90 civic with a d16a6 block, y8 head and
.078" gasket?
I have a msd rpm switch.
Should I use this instead of a vafc?
Then use the greddy blue box?
I'm so confused.

 

are you sure your ecu isn't chipped?
