i recently turboed my civic and when it runs for a little while and i turn it off it takef forever to start back up. it almost sounds like its not getting any fuel. sometimes it will start and shut right off again. when it starts it's at really low rpm's. i changed the fuel pump and was thinking about getting a new fuel pressure regulator. any one know whats up???

Check your plugs, see if they're wet. Fuel filter, fuel rail....all suspect.

What management are you running?

What do you have for fuel management?

i just put in the apexi vafcII a couple of people have told me the fpr and some have told me the fuel rail. i dont want to buy stuff that i dont need right now though. what should i try first

should i get the fuel rail or the fpr first. i was driving it the other day and it gets really lean?????

VAFC is garbage for turbo setups IMO. You can't control spark for one, and your other options are limited.

It's not a fuel rail issue or pressure related. I think your VAFC is killing your car.

Pony up some money for a good management system like AEM EMS, Hondata, Crome, fuck...even Neptune...just not VAFC.

i also have a greddy e-manage box the blue one. should i swap the vafc for that???

Even Greddy E-Manage isn't that good, but it's certainly better than an AFC hack.
