Boost noob looking for opinions

[ep3steez]

I'm sorry in advanced for posting like noob about this, but can some experienced turbo users give me some thoughts on this?

This seems like a fairly good price for so much. I'm just not sure about that emanage ecu because I know k-pro is the way to go.

Also, another scenario is that I am currently reflashed by Hondata. Will I need to upgrade to k-pro or even downgrade to the stock ecu to work with e-manage or will e-manage work with a reflashed ecu?

that's a solid deal if it's as new as he says...

dump the emanage (you could probably get about $100 for it), get kpro (there should be a discount if you're already reflashed), and get some injectors. good to go.

AND i'm pretty sure there's a "Greddy Turbo" .kal available, so you wouldn't even need to worry about tuning; just make sure you get the right injectors as called out by the .kal file.

sounds good, dont get the emanage if possible, yes theres a cheaper price from reflash -> kpro vs stock -> kpro. crsx has a sale for only 300 or less to upgrade. kpro comes with greddy kals. there are 2 for 440s or 550s

if you buy the whole kit and go kpro, you could keep in mind that i'm looking for an e-manage for my other civic. i might be interested in buying it off you.

I'll keep you updated if I end up buying the kit. If I see the kit and it looks good, I should buy it very soon.

Thanks everyone

dude .. u will still need a tune.. the kal will keep u running.. but u shouldnt beat on the car with it.. the difference i saw between when i got tuned and when i ran the kal was maaaaajor.. i got tuned at Xenocron.. but there are plenty of reputable tuners.. Kpro is def the shit tho

upgrade injectors to 550s nd sell emanage on ebay

[ep3steez]

It's going to be a slow process. I'll pick up the kit soon, upgrade to kpro in a month or so and then buy other parts (550 injectors, better oil lines and any other suggested or needed parts). I'll have to survive on the base map for a while, but I'll get it tuned eventually. I'm starting a F/S thread soon so the e-manage should be in there if WhatIsThis doesn't buy it first.

pm me when you're ready to sell it!
