New here...
 

and, I would like some suggestions.

I have a 2000 Civic EX and have been contemplating this set-up:

Precision Turbo GT-22
JRC Black FMIC(because I want a more "stealthy" approach)
JE Pistons
Eagle Rods
Microtech Engine Management
RC440cc Injectors
Greddy Type RS BOV

I would like to start out and learn the set-up on about 8 lbs. and then bump it up to about 12 lbs. Maybe more after that.

What would some of you suggest for a manifold? turbo timer? suggest whatever you think will help.

*Edit* Here is a shot of my ride, I know the tires are kinda big.

Microtech Engine Management, wtf is that?

Re: New here...
 

I know I'm new to turboing ---- and I'm just breaking out of my lurking stage... but I was wondering the same thing.

Looks expensive, go with Uberdata and save some money ;)

Re: New here...
 

lol, call me lazy but, I don't want to have to convert to OBD-1 if I don't have to. ;D

Use turboedit.

I know what you mean these things can be a tough to plug in at times:

Also I didn't read that that other system was plug and play. It said it works with factory sensors but it also says; "Once the unit is wired into the vehicle correctly" so I'm guessing your going to have a clusterfuck of a wiring mess

Re: New here...
 

;D :-X ........how much did you spend for that managment?

Re: New here...
 

See...my newbie-ness is already owning me. :-\

But I dunno, a friend "in the know" suggested it.

Re: New here...
 

BTW, what is your goal with your setup??? Seems like a lot of money to run 8psi.

Re: New here...
 

Read up on the FAQ in the EM forum. Uberdata is probably alot cheaper, easier and better than that other system. Here's where you can get the conversion harness:

I dunno...something streetable but still very quick.

The 8psi is going to be on there just for a little bit, gonna bump it up to about 11psi for street use. Hopefully more for track.

Re: New here...
 

When you say streetable, do you mean lags??? I'm new to all this turbo stuff but that looks like it may take a while to spool.

Re: New here...
 

does that mean they wire it incorrectly the first time?
