ahh.. yea.. I may just got for the vafc2 for the time being then. I'll just get the RSX injectors and emanage later.

Will I be able to push 8 - 10 PSI using the vafc2 and using stock injectors?

and definitely keep us updated on how your s**t is going blah.

Thanks for all the help so far!
of course... with the right tune. Also... fuel and spark has nothing to do with boost psi.


Damn it... I was just reminded, I need to get plugs also. f**k!

hmm... but the higher the psi.... the more air you're shoving into your engine.. correct? And the more air you shove into your engine... the more fuel you need to keep the air/fuel ratio good.. right? So that would mean that PSI and fuel are relatated.......

hmm.. maybe I'm misunderstanding something.. please correct me if I am.

boost is controlled by vaccum lines, Sure you will need more fuel and a better spark. But its not needed. That is, unless you want your engine to detonate.

If you want to run at a lower psi till you can get bigger injectors and better fuel management that'll work

ok.. so I've been doing some research on the emanage... I can get the emanage and the support tool for like 450 shipped.

I was looking at the harnesses like you were talking about.. and it really doesnt seem like I need any of them at the moment. Later on, when I decide to upgrade my injectors then I'll probably need the injector harness... but for now I don't need it. To tune the air / fuel ratio all I need is the support tool and I should be good to go.

Please point out any flaws in what I just said. I'm really trying to figure this s**t out. lol =o)

So Blah... you're keeping your AC and power steering and what not, correct?

Where are you gonna put the turbo and intake? I was looking in my engine bay yesterday and couldnt really decide where the best spot would be..

Yep, ac and ps are a must for me... really don't need to get rid of them in our model of civic's.

Oh... and about the intake... really you gotta put it anywhere it'll fit... I've seen people put a filter right on the turbo, but I've also seen people put screens right on the turbo as well... Just gotta do what you can. I planned on hacking up my cai to make a turbo intake.

also... you can't really choose where you're going to put the turbo.. Its kind of just where the manifold wants it to be.
