descendant turbo kit questions
So i have this kit installed. comes with the stupid AEM F/IC. could i switch it for the AEM EMS and then have the car tuned with that instead? or do i have to run the F/IC? I'm coming across too many issues with tuning the car.
also... what kind of engine oil are people using for boosted TCs? i cant seem to find the oil that was recommended for me. |

Everybody and their grandma will tell you Brand A is superior to Brand B and I heard somebody with an EVO that cracked a blow using Brand C oil etc. Just make sure you change it regularly. |

You can tune the car with whatever you want so long as it is effective. emanage, F/IC, or any kind of standalone, the limit is you, your budget and your tuning knowledge.

I need my car as a daily driver for the winter season, but im highly hesitant on driving it without having it properly tuned since its running lean. I know that the accessport has base maps for certain mods done to vehicles making it easy to tune, is there something like that for the AEM F/IC? in terms of oil, what would be the best weight? i was recommended 10w20 or 10w25 when i did the initial install of the turbo, but i cant find any for some reason. what other oil weight could work? |
I'm running the FIC tuned by Paul @ Dezod. From what I was told and the research I've done, the FIC is a pain to tune because of the constant battle between the ECU and the FIC. One tries to take control of the other (laymans terms). I have the Dezod AEM EMS2 that I have yet to install (next season).
As far as oil, I used Motul 5W30. Haven't had any issues. http://www.dezod.com/pd-motul-5l-bot...oil-13-gal.cfm |

If money isn't a issue then go with the VI-PEC I88. Aem inifinity standalone is very good. But VI-PEC blows its doors off but its not cheap do the research. Im taking off my decendant kit though and going with a custom Borgwarner EFR twin scroll 8374 setup.

custom manifold too or u gonna reuse the manifold

ok so im into installing the the EMS and getting on the dyno but Dezod mentions something about hard wiring the fans to control the fans. Are there any instructions on this? I cannot find the tech notes that they are referring to.
