Default Can I idle 370's with no AFC on a Prelude??

Like the Title says, I would like to use 370cc injectors on my Prelude but don't want to get an AFC. Would a Cartech and stock FPR with a releif hole drilled be sufficeint?

Borderline, if it does idle, it's be rough and coughing alot. Get an AFC.

Cartech will be fine for boost, but the idle is what you'll be concerned about. VAFC is the way to go or I have some 310cc RC's for sale.

I have several friends who idle 310cc injectors on an Si motor (240cc stock) with no problems, but they have to get the fuel pressure down to around 21 psi at idle (stock is from 31-37). The 310cc injector is 23% larger than 240. A 370 is 22% larger than your 290's. It should be doable without an AFC as long as you can get the idle pressure low enough. You may need an AEM FPR, especially if you are running an aftermarket pump.

Good luck.
