Someone HELP *question*! turbo..

[EK9]

ANywho

I *SOLD* my car, but buy never came back with the money... damn flaker, he test drove it and even took the time to get the carfax report and stuff, but never showed up the next day... oh well..

so mean time i saved up shitloads of money to buy a new car..... but oh wait i can't... so long story short and in a nutshell ... i got me a turbo kit

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


Now wondering i need some type of fuel management...sooo should i buy a sfac *of course no vtec so no point of vfac* Anywho Blake was going to do a mini-me swap, but i could not find a damn P2P ECU, so i backed off on that...

back to topic, so should i use SFAC, FMU (if so which ratio 10:1, or i've seen 9 to something) or chipped ECU i.e hondata, uberdata, etc.
yet again i'm only going to run like 5-7psi ..

Also needing of charge pipes so anyone who can cut and weld or know someone ... let me know i just need few pipes from intake mani to IC pipes.. and weld the bov...


EVERY Answer will be great

since you're only going to push 5-7psi of boost. the FMU should be fine. If you PM juan im sure he has one for sale. Since he is going hondata. As for piping, Give Redline Performance a call. 817-459-4900.

 

[EK9]

yea imma call redline tomorrow and go up to honda tomorrow and talk to Juan...

don't know if i should go with new pipes, or use my AEM Short ram and drill hole and weld the bov there and buy extended pipes...

 

[MiGsB16]

i would get new pipes but thats me. I don't know if hes going back to work tomorrow. I know he came back from Florida today. Not really sure if hes going in tomorrow or not. Give him a call at Honda first before going out there. I know the FMU is new since he hasnt installed his kit yet.

Sup guys, im finally back from florida....Just like migs said, i got a brand new Vortech FMU 12:1
its never been installed, but lately ive been debating of just installing it and just run only 8psi of boost
just make an offer and we'll see from there man b/c i wont start building my engine until like towards the end of june or so....

 

[EK9]

Juan what you think about the setup?

 

[OnePointTurboSi]

Not bad at all man, should have decent times at the track man

 

[jdm00civicex]

a fews question that alway comes to my mind are......since he is going turbo for performance....and he has an automatic civic...how good would the turbo be with automatic.....how would it spool up since you really can't keep rpms high....also would it make a good amount of difference runnin 5-7 psi that would satisfy a person? by the way kevin its me farhan...hahah

 

[MiGsB16]

well it would spool up fast since its a T3, you wouldnt get much lag. you would expect a 60hp gain from that set up. I would be alright with that.

 

[jdm00civicex]
