Just wondering because Im thinking of going turbo but somesaid that I cant use the Skunk2 chip, is it true?

 

I've tried it with that chip and a set of crower 63402's that I had before the turbo, it ran really rich. I also had the v-afc and I had to adjust the fuel curv down like 30% or more for most of the powerband to get it to run ok. Just a warning from my experience, you'll have a black bumper if you use the skunk2 w/o a cat. Just beware it pushes lots of fuel.

 

true, it will run but will not run to it's full potential, with that chip. i did the same thing when i installed my turbo kit. i ran it with the skunk2 chip and it ran badly. then i just bought a hondata s200.

 

Not to mention it advances the timing which you don't want.

 

thanx guys but what should I do then?

 

Hondata, Uberdata, AEM EMS...lots of options.

 

you really need to get something to tune it
Like a hondata
Cause with all chips there not car and setup specific so you really need a tune that is just for your cars setup

 

Well I got a apexi V-AFC.... can that work? But I dont think I can still run the skunk chip.

 

I did the v-afc with the skunk chip and I had to tune the fuel curve WAY down. Just spend the extra $ and do a stand alone, try uberdata I've heard it's good and relatively cheap. Ask around.

 

So should I take my chip out?

 

If yu do you'll have to also take out the smaller chip and the eprom, I think that the diode was the same as the stock one, double check. I took mine out and didn't like it, I always hit the rev limiter on accident because I was used to the 9.5k limit. Try losing the fmu and keep the chip for now and play with the vafc see what you get. I never took out the fmu on mine until I F'd the ring lands on 3 of 4 pistons and put a hole in the last one. Lots of people say that you don't need the fmu if you have the vafc and the chip. Give it a try, stay low on the boost though, until you get it figured out.
