i have a 04 civic vp and i whant to do the head swap but i whant to bild the head first cames valves ech .so i whant to use a e-manage to tune all of it so my ? is how could i do the swap and run the e-manage and vafc. ( will thay even work to gether ) thankes

Why would you want both e-manage and vafc on the car?

I think it is because of the diy about using a vafc instead of the ecu swap. I was wondering the same thing in a round about way. I own a vafc for the head swap but will the emanage serve the same purpose with regards to the vtec.

ummm. i guess you could run both, but that would be a waste. the emanage can do everything that the vafc can do, plus more.

Sorry I should clarify I mean to replace my vafc with the full emanage for turbo will I have to replace my ecu also?

E-manage should take care of all your concerns from what ive read on these boards. But being im a non-VTACK i cant say for sure.

Lol the only reason I went for the head swap was to buy the internals and to have an extra head to modify before dropping it in.

i would suggest that you use the stock ex ecu + emanage.

I know that i have found that the drivability is much better with the ex ecu + D17A2 motor than with the lx ecu + D17A2.

The car is much more responsive with the ex ecu compared to the lx. I believe it would be due to the different ignition maps due to the cam dynamics. The low-vtec cam profile is different than the normal lx cam. So the ignition map is slightly off. Also, the high-vtec cam profile is much different than the lx cam, so its ignition map is also off. But on top of that, the lx fuel map is different, so its fuel delivery is also off.

Using the ex ecu + emanage will just put you that much closer to the perfect tune. Plus i am getting 50 miles more per tank using the ex ecu rather than the lx ecu.

Ok thank you you gave me the reason I needed to get the ex ecu but here is another question how did you go about wireing the vtec sol/ to the ex ecu and emanage?

i used the stock ex engine harness

you needed to get your key flashed with a new ecu?
