Never heard of the AEM-FIC

Thanks, I'll look into it.

 

This is a myth. I used a CTSC and VAFC II for 2 years and multiple track days without a single issue. When I went for a "retune" to Inline Pro there was no readjusting of the map needed.

All piggybacks fight the stock ecu but they do no detune themselves.

 

10w-30 all the way, and put the 70mm on there!

 

I plan to leave it at stock boost but do the following:
-VAFCII
-J's 70rs single.
-Tune.
-02+ Oil Jet Bolts.( Neccesary????)


Thanks again everyone for your suggestions and advice.


Now I got 1 more question:

Is it absolutely neccesary to upgrade my oil jet bolts?

 

Well i would consult tuners but the reputable ones i have talked to advised against the VAFC. The Updated banjo bolts are most definitely a MUST!! Oil starvation has arisen in few applications and honda pointed their fingers at the old banjos.

Heres my news on the AEM FIC
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=572689

It feels and has tuned alot better than my old VAFC, which had several detuning problems

 

why not use a VAFC? I had mine tuned on a VAFC initially and they were able to extract an additional 13 whp and 10 lbs. of torque by just tuning the AFR with the VAFC (version 1, too). using the VAFC in combination with the Comptech FMU should allow you for a relatively cheap and easy power adder. Just be sure that they tune for WOT only since the stock ECU has a habit of "detuning" the partial throttle tuning. In addition, you can also have some reassurance in the AFR while you are having it tuned. however, if you have the money for an FIC, Emanage, or EMS, you could probably see better gains and more adjustability utilizing those units.

 

^^^ Sounds good.

Should I just get a VAFC and have it tuned now?(stock exh.)
or
Wait and buy the VAFC and 70mm exh. and have it tuned at the same time?
I'll be taking it to Church's Automotive.

I'll look into the oil bolts soon, hopefully they dont cost too much. Now where's Ryan(heresnowhy) to install them?!?

 

tune after exhaust

 

Thats what I thought.

Well, hopefully I can sell my Amuse R1 Titan dual(60mm) exhaust and buy a J's 70rs and VAFC with the $$$$.

 

Tuners don't tune on the ragged edge. You can let Church know that you'll be getting an exhaust and he might leave it a hair rich for you to compensate. I wouldn't worry too much about those little changes. Just don't go buying a smaller pulley to run more boost and think your tune will extrapolate itself to an extra 5psi of boost. hehe
