fuel management question

[EK9]

here is my setup

manifold, *A/C compatiable*
BOV
downpipe,
T3 turbo(internal wastegate), AR .48 .42
all gaskets and hardware ,
DSM injectors with resistor box,
mandrel bent intercooler piping,
dsm sidemount intercooler
all oil lines

i'm running on D16Y7 so what tyep of fuel management do you guys rec.?
vafc - well mines non-vtec we can rule that out?
safc - maybe
FMU - ?? i heard bad things
chipped ECU ?? i.e hondata, uberdata, etc.
i'm only going to run like 5-7psi max daily

i always recommend uberdata. if you can afford hondata then go that route. but setting up uberdata on you car is cheaper than buying a safc or vafc for your car. and that includes the conversion harness that you will need. plus there are way more options and settings to tune with if using uberdata vs vafc

for 5-7 psi a standard FMU will be fine. Once you start to get serious, i reccomend something along the lines of hondata with a good couple hours of dyno tuning

yea that's what a lot of people are telling me... stick with FMU and if you are ready to boost more go with uber or hondata and do soem internal works

i wouldn't recommend the fmu. even the hack is better than that and is still very cheap. i would recommend uberdata because its relatively inexpensive(compared to hondata) but will give you the safest tune and also the most power.

its up to you. 5-7psi isn't much but even 2psi has the possability of blowing that engine

i would not go the VAFC route or SAFC route- thats what im running now, and i dont like the drivability...i plan to move to HONDATA, and wish i would have gone that direction to begin with....

I say convert to OBD1 and run uberdata....its a good program widly supported, with i minimum startup cost.

hondata is ur best bet. i hear neptunes program is even better and cheaper. check out www. evans-tuning.com

no im afraid your wrong.

hondata is a piggyback that accomplishes the EXACT SAME THING as uberdata/chrome/turboEDIT/Hacking...

i agree up to where you said the 'hack'. uber crome and turboedit are FAAARR superior than the hack. just to clearify that

no... not MAP hack... real COMPUTER hacking Basically uberdata/progs write the binary code for you... it is completely possible, although arduous, to write a fuel/ign map in binary.

not that i can find for a VR4, its all piggybacks and standalones. I am starting to see why, thie ECU is a huge headache. I keep telling him to go to megasquirt but he wants to just chip it.
