turbo and computer???
i just got off the phone with paisley's and i asked about a custom turbo....he goes to tell me that i have an obd3 and i will need the aem stand alone system if i want to run a turbo? whats up with that? is this info right? plus hes like the d17 is the same as the d16 ad i could use the 92-95 trubo kit and just use custom intercooler pipes.....i think hes outta his mind. lemme know what u guys think? is this guy fulla ish or not?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

LOL, that guy smoked some serious crack before you spoke to him...
NUMEROUS people have tried previous generation civic exhaust manifolds, and they simply DO NOT FIT!
the AEM computer is NOT required....but some means of extra fuel system is required...the car of the week RiceBurnerEx, he is using the OEM ECU, while using a Haltech F5 Standalone Fuel Computer and an additional injector, although i think he wants to switch to the AEM system, it is NOT required for resonable amounts of boost
hey RicerBurner, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! your car is a peice of art work..
in addition, we do NOT have OBDIII, we have OBDII.....or so i thought ?

IF WE HAVE THE OBD 2 IS OUR ECU EXCHANGEABLE WITH PREVIOUS MODELS CIVIC AND INTEGRAS? OOPS CAPS!!!! i dont understand....
if i put a custom turbo on my car do i have to play with the computer at all? id rather not but if i HAVE to then i guess i have to choice
if i put a custom turbo on my car do i have to play with the computer at all? id rather not but if i HAVE to then i guess i have to choice if you take the route that RicerBurnerEx took, you DO NOT HAVE TO UPGRADE THE STOCK ECU AT ALL! unless you are planning on running obscene amounts of boost (more then 8psi) (caps to make a point).......BUT you MUST use some means of pigy back fuel system, like the Haltech F5 and an additional Injector, which is what RiceBurner has done....and seems to working well for him!

NO, the haltech is MUCH different then the S-AFC....the s-afc just alters the signals that the STOCK ECU gets, it just tricks it into giving the engine a lil more fuel
the HALTECH is a standalone ecu that controls the additional injector....it senses boost and feeds the engine...the stock ecu still does everything else under low rpm driving..mark
