The fuel can't be adjusted on stock Honda ECU's. I do not know what it is you are referring to on yours that might be adjustable.

could you just buy a usdm ecu to bypass the whole thing and then just get a afc and go from there.

it is basically a varible resistor found on UK honda ECU's as the car ages and the injectors wear etc this can be tweaked to up the fuel. I was thinking of replacing the resistor so the tolerance band is set a bit wider, not sure if it would work thou. mite fry my ECU

its a potentiometer, and as far as i know its ONLY used to adjust idle co.. i.e emissions , nearly all cars have them, it will not supply enough extra fuel for a turbo conversion


sorry to **** on your parade...
