: My Turbo is in!
Uncle Ben 07-19-2005, 06:28 PM Hey guys. Just wanted to let everyone kow, my new T3/T4 is in!
I finished the assembly the other day and finally got my Apex'i Super VTEC AFC-2 installed this morning. I spent all day today tweaking at the shop. Perks of working for a tuner shop, I guess :D
As of now, it's driveable, but not tuned quite right. It is terrible down low. I'll have to do a few dyno pulls to get it perfect. I also have to optimize my VTEC crossover.
87camaroPA 07-19-2005, 07:18 PM Cool take some pics of the kit installed. :)
mm_omega2 07-19-2005, 08:43 PM want an intercooler or do you already have one? I have the stocker SRT-4 front mount for sale, you can research and see plenty say it is good up to the high 300-400hp range.
Edit.....nm, lol jsut read your signature after posting. You already have a FMIC.... my bad. :D

Novtec1 07-20-2005, 08:05 AM CONGRADS...just make sure you get it tuned right...once thats done it'll be a night and day difference.
ps: looking at your mods list i see no fuel related mods.... you have any? thats plays a major role.
Uncle Ben 07-20-2005, 08:22 AM I'm working on fueling and ignition. I have bigger injectors, but they're not big enough to cope with the power yet. I'm waiting for my fuel pump to come in too. I also ordered an MSD ignition. I'll be running copper plugs a step cooler than normal.
hookdupdelsol 07-20-2005, 10:00 AM So your not going to be using Hondata or Uberdata? How do you plan on tuning this? Through the VAFC? What are you going to be using to make the the timing is set correct?
Uncle Ben 07-20-2005, 10:17 AM The VAFC-2 has settings for tuning.
JDMCivic 07-20-2005, 12:30 PM I wanna see dyno numbers!
How much boost are you going to run? Any internal work?

Agreed, I'd like to see the dyno chart and those install pics.
Uncle Ben 07-20-2005, 07:46 PM Well, I got lucky and my ignition came in today. So, we installed it all day today. I love getting paid to work on my own car. I'm waiting on my fueling now.
I have 440 injetcors, more potent fuel pump and an fpr. I'm installing a better flowing fuel rail too. I can't wait 'til this stuff comes in.
My boss also suprised me with upgraded oil lines. We slapped them in today too.
I'm running such low boost right now. I think the highest I hit was 5psi. I went really lean though, so I had to back off.
Uncle Ben 07-20-2005, 07:49 PM One more thing, I gotta get my camera off my bitch ex-girlfriend. She kicked me out because "I spend too much time under my hood and not enough with her."
mm_omega2 07-20-2005, 07:50 PM take a look at www.aaronneon.com maybe his kit can work for you, a return fuel line kit.
With his your fuel pressure goes along with your boost, so the when you go up 1psi boost you go up 1lb fuel. Shouldn't go lean anymore. I'm thinking about going this way myself.

Hmm... I may have to try that. Anyone know of a similar system for Honda?
Good link.
mm_omega2 07-20-2005, 08:51 PM everything is boughtseperate and he made a kit out of it so I believe all you would have to do is get a fitting from your fuel rail, and he may be able to custom make you the return valve.... it is real cheap for us, it shouldn't be much more if any for a honda.
