Re: Check Out My Boosted Em2

iv heard its not good to shift over 4 grand until the piston ring seat or ill burn oil,so it would be pointless to tune it shifting at 4 grand wouldnt it?

You need to tune it. Other wise it will be running either too rich or too lean, both of which will ruin it.

Re: Check Out My Boosted Em2

What are you running for engine management? Do you have a wideband? Seems like you've got a good foundation for a decent setup minus a couple weak points like Jay mentioned. With those RSX-S injectors, you definitely don't need the IC sprayer. Get some bigger pics up so we can actually see the setup.

Re: Check Out My Boosted Em2

That intercooler is garbage.
You need Hondata kpro.
You need a wideband.
You need a decent intake manifold.
You need bigger injectors if you plan on getting over 200 whp.

Re: Check Out My Boosted Em2

Get a smaller more efficient intercooler that serves a good purpose
Get a standalone since ur fully built, kpro or ems
aem makes good widebands for around 200-250
d16 intake manifold is good for u unless u want the JDM Fabtech for 1000 lol
get atleast srt4 injectors with clips .. ~200whp rsx too small

i jus told u what to buy since andy told u wat u need to change
