Driving Freshly VTSC'ed S to Tunner
I need advise on what is the most effective way to transport my freshly vorteched, untuned, s2000 to a tunner about 80 miles from me. here's my situation...
MODS: -VTSC w/ AC on and seems to be doing fine, works @ idle, responds to RPM increase, havent driven, scared i might hurt something as it is now.
-Emanage Ultimate, its in and running great, all readings accurate
-AEM UEGO wideband control, running w/ emanage ultimate
-Greddy Pressure Sensor, running w/ emanage, seems to be working but havent really let it see any boost.
I have excluded from installation as of right now the black box for timing, the voltage clamp, and the FMU. I have these parts but are not installed as i am planning on having the EMU compensate for them once tunned.
1. I realize i can use the emanage as a voltage clamp, so the MAP clamp included is not needed for my trip, correct? I'll just do this myself before i drive the car.
2. With the wideband i should be able to use the EMU to set a target a/f and that should surfice until i can cover about 80 miles and get to the tunner correct?
3. The timing box included is functional, but i have not yet installed it and would prefer to use the EMU for that. How can i temporarly compensate for this missing part? Do i even need to for such a short time frame?
Of course during this period the car will be driven extremely conservativly. I'd imagine it will never see over 4k RPMs while im cruzing on the freeway, and prob never more then 30% throttle. What do you all think is the best way to handle this? Maybe even just takeing the s/c belt off temporarly? Installing certain parts temporarly?
p.s. i have pretty much unlimited access to a mustang dyno 15 feet away. unfortunaly i do not trust my tunning skills and the tunner who owns the dyno is a porsche specialist, specifically 928's and i doubt has ever tuned a honda, but has offered his services to me free of charge. he is quite a good tuner, i've heard he is flat out of the best for porsche, and he recieves cup cars from all over for his tuning.

Get AAA Gold and flatbed it for free
i think i would just install the pieces i have excluded before I towed it, but that is atleast a possiblity should all else fail.

you should be fine as long as you don't go over like 3.5k but try to keep it below 3k if possible.
The ultimate should replace the voltage clamp.
I however do you know if the ultimate will also replace the timing box which is the bigger black box, perhaps someone else can chime in on this

Im certain emanage ultimate can adjust for timing, if its as accurate as the provided black box, thats another issue, but it can do the job.
