Hey everyone, I have a 96 Ex, I ordered a manifold that i can bolt a DSM turbo directly to, ok, so i have the turbo, manifold, fmic and piping, i have 450cc injectors and the only thing that i think that im lacking is the missing link, now my question is, will the car run right without the missing link and do i actually need to put in the injectors if im only going to run 6-8lbs of boost? i want this turbo in asap but i guess ill have to wait if i need the missing link, i know that it will throw a CEL but will it run right? and am i missing anything else?
thanks for any help!

 

another question, someone wants to trade me some parts, one of the parts he wants to trade me is a P28 ecu, do i need this? i have no idea what its worth if i dont???

 

Your getting yourself into a whole world of pain and suffering. You should research turbos a lot more because its gonna cost you a lot if you mess something up

 

so that didnt help me much, i know about turbos, i am parting out a 450hp talon that i built, i just happened to end up with a civic and imgoing to turbo that, i just dont know enough about civics and what is involved it getting it to run right, i didnt have to worry about CEL with the talon, it was a 92, im not going to go crazy with boost, just keep it moderate ya know

 

You are going to need the missing link. My car goes into limp mode without out[&:] The p28 is an obd1 ecu from the 93-95 civics that can be modified to tune the fuel maps.

From your injector question, it sounds like you don't plan on running any type of fuel management, which means that you are going to end up blowing you motor.

 

i beleive its actually 92-95 gsumano, and just to clarify the p28 is VTEC, and the p06 is non-VTEC (from 92-95).

But you will definitely need some sort of fuel management, even if its a freaking piggy-back, it'll be better than the missing link or no tune at all. Yea, the injectors are bigger, but the car doesn't know to supply more fuel. Again, at the least get a piggy-back, but an OBD1 conversion and tune would be b etter, and a stand-alone EMS would be the best, but i bet an OBD1 tune would do you just fine.

 

I know that the 96-98 need a missing link and the 99-00 don't when running the edelbrock.... I guess it only applies if your running the edelbrock's piggyback.

 

^ i was talkin about the ECU's man, the p28 and p06 were also 92, not just 93-95

 

hahhahaha lol[&:]

 

ok, so from what i am getting, it looks like i at least need to get an afc, which sucks cause i just sold 1, before i planned on turboing this car, and how do i tell what ecu i have, i can bring it right to 8k before it cuts out and i have yet to find the top speed???
