you will need an obd1 ecu chipped to run the 450's.and obd2-obd1 jumper harness.

Re: Need some help finishing a D16 turbo set up
 

you'll need:

better clutch (should have gone stage 3)
someone to tune your ----
in tank or in line fuel pump. Xeno sells those at good prices. Hit his page up.

pretty sure u need a resistor box for them injectors

Re: Need some help finishing a D16 turbo set up
 

Stock fuel pump will be fine.

yeah... but for how long?

What kind of hp are you trying to reach OP?

Re: Need some help finishing a D16 turbo set up
 

im going to head out to buy the resistors rite now. I know i need a fuel pump but i can't afford it rite now maybe like in a 3 months. But as for tuning anyone have any clue how i learn or how i can do it my self i would rather learn how to do myself so i can do it next time no problem. Any Links to any site would help out. Also with this set up what times do you guy think i will be hitting i was think mid 14's.

A boosted honda should never see over 14's :3
Get someone to tune your ---- chances are if you don't have any tuning experience its a guaranteed failure :8

Thanks for the sites. O and how will you ever learn how to tune when you don't try out your self even if it fails. Everyone that fails or blows my motor is a lesson learn. :6

just get yourself a laptop and hook it up to the obd2 run your perfered softwear then just keep and eye on the temp and a/f ratio keep the a/r arround 11.5-14-1 and don't worry about power to start turn the boost down to arround 3psi (or as low as you can, even if you have to wire open the wg) and get it running good like that and conservatively ramp up the boost a little at a time untill you reach your projeccted numbers or the cars limits but i recomend from max performance up the fuel delivery 1.5% just so you are running a little ritch (yes it will kill about 5-8hp but will save your engine)
but unless you have a dyno it's not really possible to really "tune" the car

Re: Need some help finishing a D16 turbo set up
 

cornhole, do you realise that afr would be ~ 12.0 or richer under boost.
it is most certainly possible to 'properly' tune a car without a dyno.

to the op, set your target afr's and tune timing conservatively for long engine life :)
