MAJORAHOLE

i've got a civic with d16z6 and a few mods. i want to boost it. i would like to have a pretty fast spool up and have about 6-7psi. i have a v-afc and a msd cap, coil, and wires. i just want to know if i can turbo this safely with the v-afc, or do you think i need injectors also any input would be helpful. I want to use the easiest turbo to install that can meet my requests. thanks. (i know i will probably get all sorts of ---- for beein a "noob" but i gotta start somewhere)

so you think i should ditch the apex v-afc and go with uberdata? nothing is gonna happend anytime soon any ways cause i'm a broke *** i'm just tryin to get some ideas.


i also have an apexi N-1 catback and an ACT Clutch, but i didn't think that would be relevent to the question.

Uberdata is much better. I would ditch the vafc. And for turbo you can pick up a t3 at a junkyard or there are usally a bunch being sold in our classifieds.

i already have the uberdata program and am somewhat familiar with it, but i live in south bend indiana. i don't know anybody with a wideband O2, and there is only 1 dyno within a 3 hour drive. And they charge $100 for 3 pulls, and $50 for 3 every time you come back. its gay

i got the laptop but now i need about $350 for a wideband. you can't tune with just an A/F gauge can you??

MAJORAHOLE

thats what i thought. what about egt gauge, i've heard you can tune with those.

MAJORAHOLE

another thing, my engine burns a little oil. is that gonna get worse when i turbo it??

I don't even see how people tune with an egt and if your motor burns oil now I'll have to say it'll just burn more with boost. I've never lost any oil N/A but now I lose about half a quart every week.
