im undecided on a y8 manifold conversion for d17 turbo or a jdm fabtech manifold ones 150.00 the other 1,200.00. i know you pay for quality. but does any one know what the y8 will take for boost .anyone have feedback on this decision. how about andyman,looking for feedback .thanks

Obviously a custom manifold is going to flow better than a y8 and a y8 will flow alot better than stock. Good luck with jdm fabtech, gery is a busy man.

Something I would try if I were limited on options is a y8 performer X edelbrock intake if it would fit.

what about a y8 venom intake, i saw one on the 396 hp civic on the forum awhile ago. i know the skunk2 will not fit to big.

If you know it was for a y8, then it may fit, go for it.

$150? Buy a Y8 version of a manifold for now. Your going to need some more money when you figure out that the 440s and emanage dont mix, hehe. Save for the K-pro setup mang.

why would the 440 injectors not work with the e-management. you have a some insite please share if you dont mind. thanks

Old news! CELs caused by the e-manage injector correction factor.

Recheck that thread Paul.

Im curious if anyone has tried the e-manage with the additional injecor feature?

Responded to, and it is a bit more than tuning. It is massaging, tuning and lots of datalogging with trial and error.

Upstream injectors?

 
Rep Power: 350

I've seen a setup with stock injectors, emanage, 2 additional 550 injectors with the tsi fuel setup all together. Not a great choice for management but it works.

Not exzactly, but you know how the edlebrock turbo system uses extra injectors that are mounted on the underside of the intake manifold? If you look in the picture bellow you'll know what i mean.


As i recall e-manage has the capability to control extra injectors along with the stock injectors? So in therory you could control tsi style injectors AND say rsx/rdx/whatever injectors that emanage can handle with its correction factor. And use the extra injectors for boost only fuel enrichment by either a tsi type setup or if you had a earlier aluminum intake that fit and had extra bosses welded in place on each runner? Or the edlebrock y8 turbo kit manifold. Im not 100% sure e-manage is capable of this or not. Either way food for thought!

From what I recall, the emanage can control up to six sequential injectors and up to 2 additional sub injectors. Don't hold me to that but that's what I remember....

i think that e-manage with 4 secondary injectors on say a y8 style manifold would be a nice set-up for a high hp set-up

I remember Mike had a setup similar to that with his gsr manifold. I think he was running emanage on it. I can't quite recall how he had the second set of injectors set to fire though....

That is what I meant by upstream. However, I am not a fan of this method because it is difficult to ensure the fuel gets divided equally amongst the cylinders properly. If it does not, you will get some reach, and some lean....

 
Rep Power: 327

i can see what you mean by upstream with the tsi system, but if the injectors are located 1 per intake runner as in the edelbrock intake system that shouldnt be an issue

Skunk2 manifold wont fit unless you grind of some of the firewall..i posted a diy on how to swap a y8 manifold onto our cars, if you ST8RACE check out D-series.org there are some heated turbo discussions over there

That would be 'secondary injectors'

get a custom made intake manifold

 
Rep Power: 293

^^^^^ hell yeah there are so many people that can make custom ones. Also emanage sucks ems is way better, less headaches, less problems and from what i hear k pro is even way better than ems.
