I've been looking into turbo set-ups recently and I had a question I wanted to ask. From what I understand, if I have an obd2 engine, my only options in terms of a fuel managemt system are: 1)an FMU if I intend to stick with my obd2 or 2) pick up an obd1 ecu and conversion harness so that I'd be able to use a hondata unit or uberdata and other similar programs. Right or wrong???

BTW just incase it matters I'm planning to use a t3 turbo along with the rest of the components of a full kit, upgraded fuel pump and never exceed 7psi all on a stock d16.

TIA for any help

go obd1 and run crome/uberdata or you could pay $$$ for hondata.
You can stay obd2 and run a standalone system but they're 3 times as much as the hondata costs.
But i would honestly just grab a conversion harness and chipped obd1 ecu and get it chipped/tuned with crome.

^^excatly.

And instead of saying "ill never pass 7psi" you should say a whp range.. 7psi can vary on different set-ups and tunes. You should say "ill never pass 200whp" or however much power you want to be at.

well then in that case i'd say I never intend to go above 170-180 whp

So if I decide to run either Crome or uberdata, what does the process involve? Going to a tuner and getting my ecu chipped? is that it?
I read somewhere that tuners generally charge in the $150/hr area so would that be the case here or would there be other charges involved?
thanks for the responses zeeman and chris

in order to run uberdata/crome you would need to chip your ecu and have a .bin file (ROM.....program) made in uberdata or crome.
$150/hr is what it usually costs just for dyno/wideband o2 time ($75 for the dyno and $75 for the use of the wideband o2...can't tune without a wideband).
So if you can get tuning done for $150/hr do it up. But when i went to the dyno it was $150/hr just for the use of the dyno/wideband...that didn't include tuning.

Get in contact with Nick at Teknotik.. he can set you up with some prices. He does excellent work.

thanks for the tip
last question...with an obd1 ecu in an obd2 car, what happens when i go for emissions testing?

i'd be more concerned about the newly added turbo than the fact that you're running obd1.
Who's going to know that you've converted to obd1?

i think he meant the issue with using 1 o2 oppose to 2 sensors.

I'm not too sure how it will turn out.. I know a few guys with obd1 ecu's have passed. But with a turbo kit on.. good luck passing. It can be done,but isn't all that easy. Most guys just take the kit off when they go.

Go with option 2 but prepare to shell out at least a grand. Ya got to pay to play..
