do you have a turbo?

se7engen_riDe

obviously he does...since he got the stage 2 turbo camshaft...

i would dyno tune your vafc2 to get the most gains.

i rented the spring compression tool from the autozone up the street

my redlines about 8 for safety sake, i dont want to rev much higher than that, and honestly with this set up you dont need to. If your like me, your power comes on strong at 3500 and pulls hard all the way to redline.

it does however make thoes 5th gear to 3rd gear shifts possible haha lots of fun to screw with mustangs like that just rip on them on the freeway.

Any more ?'s

ive known guys to run turbo cams without turbos, they didnt boost for lack of funds so they bought the cams and did the motor work and then turbo'd later.
A na motor with turbo cams runs like ****, i dont care what you say.

No, its EX only.
You may want to look into EX head swap, you will need EX head and EX ecu

dont need ex ecu, get vafc2.

se7engen_riDe

hmm....i thought you did need the ECU

ncirom2003

iTrader: (7)

nope, with the ecu you would also need to have a dealership reflash the ecu to work with your key.
the vafc-2 can activate your vtec which is the only reason you would need a new ecu.

se7engen_riDe

hmm...yea.
so has anybody ever installed a stage1 camshaft yet??

You can't!! Sorry dude! The ECU doesn't reconize it self after the 7,000 RPM mark! the ONLY way to raise your rev limiter is AEM's E-mag... Sorry guys I too wold like a 8500 RPM red line! It wold be kinda

please don't raise your rev limiter unless you have aftermarket valve springs AND rods

familycar

iTrader: (4)

first off i know this. and ill give you a reason why it wont. because the rev limited is tied to the crank sensor. so the only way to bypass is with a EMS EMS not AEM Emag. i think your mixing up emanage and EMS. and if your mixing up those two i dont htink you need to be giving anyone advice for such a question. i am trying to find another way to raise the rev limiter with out using the EMS. that is the purpose of my question. i think using a stg 2 cam is useless unless your going to raise the limiter so you can make the power the cam is designed to give. i will raise the limiter to 8k and i will do it with stock rods in place. that isnt a huge worry unless your running around untuned

woooooo, buddy my bad about the aem ems or aem e manage! you obviously understood what I was talking about! but to say my info is worthless... this was just my opinion

familycar

iTrader: (4)

well think abou tit if you dont know the difference between a GREDDY EMANAGE or a AEM EMS you obviously shouldnt be trying to give advice on the subject. sorry if i came off a bit rough but if you dont know what the guy is using to tune then why try to answer my question? you didnt even give any info to the pretaining question. so dont take offense but also dont try to answer questions you dont know the answer to!!

That is what I was writing in responce too! But damn bro p.m.s??? But I thought that was why we respond to these posts... so we could learn.

familycar

iTrader: (4)

as i stated before dont take offense it the internet man. i dont know you from a hole in the girls bathroom. i felt as though the statement was kind of a insult to my intelligence. which is why i replied the way i did. think of it this way, you ask a question about someones car and i respond with an answer but the answer was completely off base and i provided incorrect information. what would you say in response. probably something like i did. so seriously dont take offense. you actually seem pretty cool! sorry if i offended you danielson! hope to see you at a local meet so we can actually see who we are talking to

02BLKCIVIC

iTrader: (8)

Na, man me no insult! Danielson As for a local meet I dont drive down to Cali too often, living in Arizonia and all! But since this thread turned into a me and you debate. Lets just shake hands and visit another forum! "Danielson" that just cracked me up !!

I have read this over again, due to some of the stuff you posted in this thread (fully built NA engine and the supposed close to 180 whp dyno) We have waited a long time for proof, but I must raise the BS flag on you man. prove me wrong...... please and i'll retract all of these statements.
