turbo d16y8
hi guys, i need some help i am looking to boost my y8, my setup so far will be stock 98 y8 ( with backup being built with pistons and rods over winter)
max rev manifold
custom 2.5 " dp
mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust no res no cat
dsm 450's
afc hack
straight t3 turbo
FMIC , ect ect
here is my question , i am gonna run the stock block till it breaks and i know with the afc hack you are stuck around 10-12 pounds but what ecu's are you guys using?
obd1 or obd2? the car is obd2 but would it be worth it to convert? i am gonna in the future use either greddy emanage, or hondata
my friend is running emanage with almost the same setup on a 92 si hatch at around 12 pounds and is putting down 260whp 12.5@111
so would it be worth it to get a jumper harnes and say a 92-95 si ecu?

hondata and probably emanage won't work with obd2 so you'd have to downgrade. As for the hack, it doesn't really matter. If you are going that way eventually, I suppose you might as well go ahead, or wait until you are going to have to do some rewiring anyway when you change management... My .02

Re:turbo d16y8
my philosophy is...
boost first, THEN boost more.
I am in the same boat you are EXACTLY except my Y8 is in a '96 (no difference)
I am gonna boost 8 on the AFC until I have my "backup" motor built, THEN i'll do the OBD1 conversion, when I need to.
at 8 lbs I won't be Fast, but I'll be quick. And that should tide me over ti'll I have abuilt motor.

Re:turbo d16y8
kewl guys thx, so i should start looking for a virgin p28 just to have. I will prolly go emanage its cheap and it works (like a fancy afc hack lol) hondata is not that expensive but what you have to pay to get it tuned is crazy
