All I will be dyno tuning again!! We did not adjust the valves properly after install of the cam and I plan on getting a highflow cat. Hopefully I should break 110 whp now.

Well its about time Chris. U have been talking about this for a long time now. Let me know how it works out.

 
Rep Power: 313

A long long time!

got the new tranny, new clutch, and now new cam.

I was hesitant for a long time, I dont want to buy EMS and

I dont want to put the stock cam back in if it get too rough.

But as far as I know no one has tuned the Stage two cam with a

VAFC2 on this site.

Has anyone tuned a crower stage two cam with a VAFC2 on 7th Gen???

I know its hilarious. That was a huge rude awakening. I ripped my timing belt 2 weeks ago and bent all my exhaust valves. I just got the car back and ran it w/o emanage to see the difference and it felt stronger hehe. The stock ecu did a great job keeping the afr around 14.7 during cruising and 13's during WOT just idle its goes way to rich and stalls. I'm thinking about just keeping the tune for idle and zeroing out everything on the emanage and let the ecu do its thing. Good idea?

And 02blkcivic... realistically u'll probably just need to pull fuel at idle bc you'll run too rich with the cam and it will stall. I went with emanage to adjust ignition timing but the ecu doesn't like that very much when you try to advance. You should be fine with a VAFC2.

Well ya i think its a good idea.

but why not sell the blue box for some cash and buy a VAFC2 and adjust the fuel curve at 500-1000 RPMS (or where the RPMS are for idle)

You are the reason ron I think I can tune and tame the cam with a VAFC2.

mainly because you said it sounds "ok" or "smooth" on the stock ECU.

I've been contemplating this for the past month actually. The car just felt more responsive w/o the emanage. I'm gonna give the tuner another shot and really compare a dyno run with and w/o emanage. Keep us posted with your setup when is estimated time of install?

 
Rep Power: 313

**** man "hopfully" i can buy the retainers this friday and install before Jan 5th.

But christmas is around the corner so maybe the end of January.

well congrats on ur cam! i just bought dezod turbo kit. turbo cam, vs&r...and more...but i went to ians house and we chilled for a couple, and he took me for a ride and i drove his car. the idle was fine...it was lumpy, but sounded very nice. ian once u get rid of that stock DP you see a much better differance...

good luck guys!!!!!

hey exturbo6...^

is ian ronaldo9?

I have a stock cat too. What kind of down pipe does every one run?

 
Rep Power: 281

ronaldo9 = Ian that is my real name. I might be getting the hp racing header and downpipe soon if i can make up my mind if i want turbo or not lol.

 
Rep Power: 313

my bad man I dont know but three peoples real name on hear...

Any other options you were thinking about for headers?

 
Rep Power: 281

My buddy that sold me the cam has obx headers and they have much bigger piping than my megan header. But he has an LX and I'm not sure if the LX headers are bigger than the EX.

 
Rep Power: 313

dont think so...^

I dont know if I wana get the HP header.

because I dont want to hack my frame.

and I have Energy Engine mount inserts.

I heard that my conflict also...

im up in arms about the cat problem...

 
Rep Power: 347
