Boosting an FG FAQ

Greddy

i am running 7 pounds of boost on low and 10 pounds on high. and my si has had no trouble. its just the Greddy piggy back system is pritty much crap which only lets you tune air/fuel pritty much. my 2007 civic si sedan is making 267.4 hp to the wheels. just waiting for new computer to come out so we can control vtec and angle of the cams. but anything past 11 pounds on a civic i think is almost overkill for stock internals. but when that new computer comes out then i will get new internals.

So is it the e-manage your using or the V-Manage? I'm not sure what the difference is but I'm dying to boost my Si but I'm so tired of waiting for Kpro, so I'm trying to find a way around it. Do you know if the E-mangage Ultimate lets you adjust your timing?

[ryanmcm83]

It has to be able to adjust timing else it's not really a proper tune. You don't have much ability to maximize power and prevent knock without it. Shouldn't be any issues intercepting the injector signal to retard timing. Advancing timing, however, is a different issue. You would need a standalone ECU to be able to advance the spark signal, since the piggyback is downstream of the ECU and how to you predict what the ECU will send for ignition signals?

Damn. Ok thanks for the info.

[the1stpower]

yes i have talked to all the k-Pro people and the manager and they said that they might not make one but only time will tell the only thing i can think of if people spam them =] and get them to make one. i think the only way around it now is to get a custom computer but thats like 3 grand down the drain if you want it that bad.

Screw that. If its not out by the end of this summer I'm either going SC with a simple reflash or swapping a k24 into my si and switching to a throttle cable and just using the rsx kpro on the type s ecu. Then turbo that.

Good luck with your stock gauges, other CAN based systems integrated and OBD-II compliance (if it matters in your location) if you go with the swap and need a custom tune for the setup.

We shall see. I might just sell out and get a piggy back.
