What is the most common form of engine managment used by you guys and what'd cost to tune?

Could i use an AEM piggy back so i can still pass inspection?

Can i just do pistons and rods and not sleeves or are the sleeves the weak point in the engine?

Whats a good turbo for 450-500 area?

journal Vs BB is the difference that noticable?

thank you!

aem ems, u dont have to do pistons or even touch the motor for the power u r looking for, and a bb turbo wouldnt hurt, i cant help u on the inspection as its proving rather difficult for me this summer

so leaving the engine alone with 11.1:1 compression im gonna have a reliable engine? no head gasket or anything? would i run a smaller turbo to compensate?

Proven ems, competent tuner and the right parts will make a strong setup.

Have you done a search? The majority of the questions you're asking are answered all over this forum.

lol yes i posted and am currently still looking through search. Is the data link connector used after ems is installed?

siadam did u open up your engine?

OBD2 plug doesn't work with AEM, only Hondata Kpro.

Stock motor is proven above 500hp.

GT35R is the most used choice for 400-500hp but there are other options.

Ball bearing spools slightly faster than journal, but not enough to really be a driving point if there is a big enough price difference.

awesome information thank you. im thinking of going journal unless someone has a good deal on a used BB and as far as k pro its twice the price of EMS

Its not twice the price. $300-400 more depending on how your source your parts.
