Hondata and Turbos

[mfmark5007]

I heard many people tell me that I had to upgrade my Fuel system (by upgrading a ECU) if i wanted to maximize my TURBO.

Is that true?

Do i really have to upgrade anything?


What if I bought a HONDATA....would that replace the necessary modifications?

If you want to run a turbo on your car, you should upgrade your FUEL system, ie: new pump(s), lines, filter, rails, injectors, etc, etc. An ECU upgrade has nothing to do with your fuel system, other than controling fuel pressure and when the injectors pulse. If you ran a turbo on your car without touching anything in the fuel system or ECU the motor would grenade, no ifs ands or buts. Hondata is a piggy-back system for the stock honda ECU's which lets you change fuel and timing tables, boost, rev limits, etc.
