im planning on getting a stage 3 cam in the future but it says you need ecu mod. not sure what the mod is. but i have emanage. so would that be posible. and if not what would happen if i installed it anyway?

"I" would recommend AEM EMS.

E manage is not sufficient enough...

the AEM FIC is even better the E manage...

stage 3 N/A will be ROUGH!!!

.2

and your car will stall if you run E manage...

thats all.

KPRO or AEM EMS is your ONLY OPTION!!! Your car will not run smoothly with ANY piggyback with that profile camshaft. That is all.

k-pro + PCS tranny controller maybe?

It won't run period w/o KPRO in your case. You'll be stalling at idle and probalby go into limp mode all the time from throwing codes. The stock ecu will not like that stage 3 cam at all ESPECIALLY with emanage.

I've seen ppl use a stage 2 turbo cam with emanage but just know you'll get more out of that cam and your turbo setup with KPRO. What ever you do find a good tuner.

I run the Stage 2 turbo cam with the PCS-XFC and it's fine. I wouldn't trust it above 9 psi though.

do i need a trans controller?

With the PCS? No. It only messes with the AFRs and doesn't touch anything else.

well the pcs refers to the standalone tranny controller from PCS who also makes the XFC. basically it will control the tranny by itself in theory though i dont think anyway has ever put it on our cars. i think it costs 700 by itself. with this you should be able to run k-pro which seems to be the best tuning ecu we have availible. you could also could use the the AEM EMS with the PCS again in theory because no one has ever tried a standalone trans and engine controller on our cars because the costs add up very quick.

Then after you get the electronics sorted out you have to question whether you have enough strength in the auto trans to handle the extra power put out by a stage 3 camshaft which im not even sure how much it would be because im not sure i have see the numbers for it. but either way the auto trans is just very very problematic to modify for higher numbers without being rebuilt.

finally someone explanied ut to me. well thanks a lot. i would love to be the first to exeriment k pro and the tranny controller but my pockets arent deep enough lol. ill just settle with the auto civic runing on 8 psi. and save up to build my b18 sitting in the garage. =p
