Using boost before SAFC is properly tuned?
 
I am (of course) putting my own turbo kit in. I have done it before and i know i can do that. I am also going to attempt to put in a SAFC2. I never messed with an ECU so if i cant do it im going to drive it to a local shop.

My question is.. If i never bring my boost above 0 psi and have the 255 lph fuel pump and 450cc injectors in. Can i drive it about 3 miles to that shop? (no highways, and never taking the boost above 0)


I know everyone is going to tell me to do the AFC first but im halfway in to the Turbo and i dont feel like putting it all back. I dont know why i started the turbo first i thought (back when i was stupid) i could get away with stock injectors and fuel pump with just an FMU for a while.

a. either have one of ur friends tow it like tie rope it's not to hard.

b. justhook the vafc up its not hard at all if you just follow the instructions that apexi provides with the vafc. Believe me its not hard at all. and then just set it to -40 across board for low and high and all shoud be good.

you cars not going to run and idle correctly with the 450's in and nothing to control them. Believe me! lol

I like you never have fucked with an ECU before. What is an ecu? I box hooked up to a plug with some wires. Can you look at pictures and follow directions? have you ever spliced a wire? Do it yourself and stop being retarded. It's easy as ----. Take your time and study the pictures. You can't ---- up if you do.

Good luck.

set it at -38% across the board, maybe higher for idle and boost all you want on the way to the dyno.
i tuned by ear and i ran 10psi+ all summer

Cool thanks for the info. No im not a "------ retard" i just drive a 15000 dollar car that i dont exactly have 3 grand for a motor if it breaks. I was not aware how easy it was to install. Thanks for being an ass.

If you really need to drive the car to the shop, why don't you just put your stock injectors back in, install the fmu, and then drive to the shop. Good luck!
