Complete Custom Turbo setups?

ImportRacer2123 · 05-11-2004

OK I am really struggling on what im going to need for my turbo setup.

for my FMU i was thinking on either keeping my VAFC II or get Greddy E-manage

Intercooler I was thinking on a 23 X9.5 X3

Intercooler piping,charge pipes, downpipe are going to be done at my exhaust shop

Manifold I was going to go with the ebay one for $220 shipped

as far as turbo go i was thinking either a TD05 or a T25BB

BOV is going to be a Apexi Twin chamber

For the custom turbo kit people what does your kit consist of?

PM c2i0v0i1c..I have talked with him about his kit quite a bit. He is very helpful, very willing to help, and very informative.

i would suggest the E-Manage over the vafc

One thing you need to know is that Greddy does not make any Fuel Maps for the 7thgen so you will be working on those from Sratch. Thats one thing that took awhile with Kevins car.

^^Yeah, many moons.....trial and error.

In the long run, it's worth it....a laptop is helpful is well.

Wiring it is hard as a mofo as well.

Worse then wiring a VAFC II?

how about a avcr and a vafc II? or should I just stick with e-manage? and what are the benefits of e-manage over the VADC and AVCR?

civicskater · 05-11-2004

Use a VAFC II if you have vtec, and want to control that engagement as well, and the AVC-R is a closed loop boost controller. All i really know about it is you can use gear specific boost pressure and has a mode for peak hold, i dont know anyone on these forums who uses it on a civic but i know a guy with one on his WRX and he loves it.

Stick with the emanage, if you dont mind the wiring and complexity...some like the learning, while others just want some go right from the box. If you want an easy way out that you cann bolt up and run with get the SF fuel kit

e-manage controls timing, I'm not sure if the others do....

abmerop18 · 05-11-2004

c2i0v0i1c has the avcr.....

ImportRacer2123 · 05-12-2004

wow...

My friend an avc-r for his 2002 wrx it's really useful and I think it would be easier than greddy (just cuz they have no maps.)
