Hello,

Let's say I have installed everything.. mani, turbo, downpipe, intercooler, wg, bov, injectors.. Now what should I do? Just start my engine and go race?
The reason I'm asking this is because my friend told me that I should need to chip my ecu, but in my country it is impossible because we don't have tuning shops etc..

Can I buy already chipped ecu and everything will be ok?

 

where are you from ?

what car ? year ?

 

I'm from Republic Of Georgia.. My car is 1993 Del Sol Si with D16z6.

 

i just remembered you.

anyways if there is noone who can tune your car there go here and ask A LOT of questions.

you will also need to buy a wideband, chip burner and stuff like that. stuff that i have no idea how to use

 

Thanks zex_cool !

Any other suggestions.. anyone?

 

No, that's what you do.

You basically need package #1 or #3.

You could also do AEM EMS, or Hondata S300 (I think the s300 has autotune) but you'd still need to get a wideband so it'd come out to a lot more $$.

If you get the kit with the Moates Ostrich, you might as well get crome pro (at least I would) which is another $150 (US).

You also need a pyrometer/EGT gauge to measure EGT so you can tune your timing.

Consider yourself overwhelmed.

 

Or if you're under 10psi you can just stick in a FMU and MSD Universal Boost retard and say to hell with it. But no one recommends doing this. That will give you a very rough "tune" but is better than no management at all.

 

Thanks! That was really helpful answer.. It looks like I have another $500 to spend on this I'm now reading everything about Hondata S300.. If it has autotune it's good.. Because I never tuned any car and I'm building my first turbo car

 

You can do autotune with the tuner packages from xenocron and crome pro. I think that would still be cheaper than Hondata S300 + Wideband.
I don't think the auto-tune does anything to the timing though, so you might have to tune those tables yourself.

btw, AEM EMS also has autotune but it's around $1000 (US) + wideband.
