Re:Civic turbo help
what he is trying to tell you is that you cant just run the dsm injectors alone with the fuel pump, you need something like the vafc/safc,or hondata, along with your setup to tune the rate of the injectors, because alone they will be pumping too much fuel at once. as they always say make sure you fully understand before you start installation.

Re:Civic turbo help
You don't need an AFC if you are getting Hondata or vise versa. They are both able to control the injectors by themsleves. The Hondata would be my choice if you have the money. Yes, you are correct, but you only need one of them.

Re:Civic turbo help
Would it be better to get a full EMS like hondata since I am going turbo? Or could i get away with using an AFC? Because alot of people I have talked to that have turbo said i am going to need an EMS, but if i can use an AFC instead, i'll do that...

Re:Civic turbo help
Oh hell yes. You can use an AFC and some DSM 450cc injectors and boost 10psi all day long. It's not as good as a Hondata system, but it's one of my favoite methods of fuel management, plus it's cheap.
