Turbo Y4

[VTECnique]

that is from 2002
post a thread like that now see how flamed you will get.
even on a forum like HMT people dont do that anymore. back in the day they did. Many of the engines blew up from poor setups using FMUs and AFC HACKS.
ive seen the most ghetto patch job turbo kits, and the thing holding it together is a good chipped and tuned ecu.

you are justifying why you can use it and turning a blind eye to why it is shit.
it is clearly from a proper engine management point that the cons outweight the pros.
the only pro is cost if that is even the case.

if there is no dedicated fuel and timing map for boost, stay away.

SAFC
SAFC2
AFC NEOs have their place in tuning but this is not the application to use one in.
can and AFC clearly differentiate 2, 4, 6, 8psi? NO
the engine is best to be tuned for rpm vs boost so that you can define the injector pulse and timing at specific rpm vs boost cells.

therefore it should not be used.

OK, ima get the AFC, see how it runs, if it dont run good, ill go to a chipped ecu, but i have to change - intake manifold, throttle body, IACV, etc. its not just a simple matter of plugging in a conversion harness, chipped ecu & away you go. Dyno time, tuning, how much do you think that would cost? i know i can get a basemap for my setup, but it'd still need to be fine tuned, & whether the basemap is good or not, etc.

Im doing it on a budget, if it blows then i know i wont use an AFC again...

If i lived down south, yeah no worries, id go straight for the conversion harness & chipped ecu, cause i know there's a few honda specific tuners around there. but, being where i live, there are tuners here, but more for bogan V8s, id much rather use a tuner that has dealt with alot of hondas. AFC, i have the ability to tune it myself, it may not be the best, but for my situation, itll do!
