Any last minute tips?
Well the turbo kit goes on the car tomorrow, and tuning won't happen until monday. The only problem is that I have to get the car about an hour away to get her tuned.
Is it ok to drive if I don't replace the injectors until I get there? Can I wire in the emange fully and then change the settings when I get there? If so, what should i set it at?
The setup:
Garrett T3/04
Jonny race car FMIC
Equal length manifold
GReddy emanage with injector & ignition harness + pressure sensor
GReddy RS BOV
Tial 38mm wastegate
Turbo XS MBC
RSX injectors
AutoMeter Nexus Boost/EGT/Fuel Pressue/Oil Pressure/Oil temp
SS oil feed and drain lines
Custom IC piping
Max Rev downpipe w/ high flow cat
O2 simulator
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated, especially what kind of oil I should run with and what kind of spark plugs to use.
Wish me luck

install it on Sunday (night b4 tunning) or if u are not going to drive the car then install now.
Plugs IK20s.
If u can keep it under 3k rpm, then it is ok to drive. or else ................

Rep Power: 280 Make sure you have all needed parts and they all fit together.
And dont revv it past 2500-3000 RPM untunned, or as another member said - tow it....at Hondas expence! You should have free towing service for the first 60K

Dude, no need for any of this stuff. Just disconnect the charge pipe and put a mesh filter over it, over leave some part of the intake side piping disconnected. Good luck!

Rep Power: 349 is there some base setting on the emanage that will run like a stock ecu? I was thinking that I could install the injectors when I get there...

Rep Power: 276 maybe, was the accident your fault? if the other persons insurance is paying for it, they have to compensate you for everything you lost. If your is, then it may be a little tougher. They might just pay you for a stock civic.
