Well I dont know if its such a ragged edge I would be on. Maybe I should upgrade
the fuel just in case and to give me a margin of safety. Not to say I wouldnt tune
it, but still.


And I think I will go with a FMIC. ---- looks cheap and something about a FMIC on a
little Civic.

why use a fmu? it cost like 90 bucks and you can just get you ecu chipped for 75 bucks and get a set of 450dsm's and be safer. i wouldnt pay 150ish for a used vafc and 50-60 bucks for 450's when i can just get my ecu chipped.

And that would be the famous VAFC hack I hear about?

Do I have to use 450's with a VAFC? So the ballast box makes it where I can actually
use that TYPE of injector, and the VAFC hack lets me control them.

So without a tune or some sort of fuel computer, just slapping those in with the box and a FMU will cause it to not run....or just real shitty.

Anyone have any other suggestions on what i should do?

stock injectors=fmu

450's =afc, crome, uberdata

but if you use the afc hack you need to get an MSD BTM

There are so many ways to go about doing this here fruel setup (in order from shitty to awesome):
a) FMU, wideband (sucks ***)

b) 450's, resistor box, V-AFC (not too horrible.. you'll also need a wideband o2)

c) 450's, resistor box, P28, OBD2-1 conversion harness, wideband, chip burner and if you're a baller - get yourself an Ostrich
