first off i want to thank all my fellow honda tuners/owners(the best cars on the planet),for all the support while this build was in progress. also let me apologise for not responding to some of your posts,if anyone needs any info about parts & where they were purchased(most was purchased over the internet/via miami)brought back when i traveled, can always pm me or call on weekends,i,ll try and assist in anyway i can. now for the fun part, driving my car for the first time last saturday,after 3wks(had a serious case ah carbanca ),to put it mildly i was smiling ear to ear,the car felt good,boost was about 7psi so i turned it down to 5psi.the idle is smooth,similar to stock. i am presently using a vafc2 for management(i was unable to get the e-manage to communicate with my laptop,the status lights on the e-manage all functioned as normal,so the serial to usb adapter is the problem,i am considering getting an aem fuel & ignition controller for management. so far the car is running good,i,m trying not to push it too hard,until i get the aem .

[JDM_GUY]

very very nice.. get her on the dyno and tuner her. post some vids eh...

[red_dragon]

had the same problem with my EMS and serial to USB .. ended up going to PC shop with laptop and EMS to test the cables

make sure the cable has drivers for the cable

[nick175]

nice

[dok_tec]

Nicely done ... liking the piping and ic front bumper view esp

[Hirotoshi]

red dragon the adapter cable came with software driver(cables to-go). my laptop(G4 ibook with virtual pc installed),the e-manage software installed perfectly with latest updates,checked all wiring,reinstalled software,turn key switch to ignition,e-manage unit powers up(status & commnication lights on,click on e-manage icon,it opens,message box appears-unable to communicate with main unit. ended up removing it and installed the vafc2,retarded the timing,installed ngk zfr6f11,lowered the fuel pressure to 30psi. the car runs good,the idle is as if its stock, the mixture is a little rich(vafc2 only allows me to remove 50% from the 450cc injectors) .

[Hirotoshi]

nick175 & doc_tec, thanks guys.

[civic2nv]

u should have tried it the other way

click icon and turn on ignition

vafc2 alone ..

I would sell both units and go with a S300 but it is your choice

50% off and still rich ... something wrong


idle u can be in 14 to 13 afr and WOT 12s

[dragsta34]

wow very nice!

[SmokeyGTi]

great build..

it's great that you kept the sleeper look - and your front bumper on!

[Hirotoshi]

red_dragon the vafc2 is only being used temporary, until i get the aem fuel & ignition controller. i never knew that the sound of a blow-off valve,would get more attention than the car horn .

[red_dragon]

[Pinky]

Whats the latest with the project?

[Hirotoshi]

as of 3 wks ago the turbo kit was removed. i have taken decision to sell my hatch(F/S post with pic,s will be up on saturday). the car was fun to drive,had good accleration and overall performance,i used a vafc 2 for fuel management,there was some engine knock & oil leak from the return to the engine sump. if i was not going to be out of the country for an extended period,i would not sell my hatch & the turbo would still be in it. my next project will be another boosted honda/acura either another hatch,dc2,dc5 or ep3 ,again thanks to all my honda & 3ne-2nr people for all the support during the build .
