Use an aftermarket control unit of some sort... it's the best route.
2 base gaskets, new rings for your Busa pistons, 2 exhaust gaskets, and hone your cylinders(new rings) and you should be good to go.So, looks like I have the Aesthetics of the bike done (for now).
It's time to drop the engine, change oil, coolant, adjust TPS, adjust TB Sync, change plugs, check tappet clearance, BMC Filter
While we're in there I'm going to do a cam swap (buying a set of '02 intake cams), install Hayabusa Pistons and remove one layer of the head gasket.

Parts List:
2 x '02 Intake Cams (front + rear)
2 x CCT Gaskets
2 x Head Gaskets
2 x Hayabusa Pistons

Something tells me I'm going to remap the engine. Anyone here with experience with FI? I heard there was a way to remap the ECU w/o a PCIII. Is this correct (and does it "lose" the map if the battery is unplugged?) I'm currently looking for a Dyno shop to do before/after sheets.
Would not you want new JE Hayabusa pistons...
13.5:1 compression...

I will go half on a set of 4...

Please tell me that question was a joke. much better compression, JE pistons are great the wont melt at least they havent on my last 2 builds B series turbos in civic coupes running 25lbs of boost.Why would you want those for your SV? You could get stock ones MUCH cheaper.
No....it wasn't a joke! Why would you want to increase your compression with a turbo? That doesn't make any sense. The idea is to drop your compression so you can run more boost.Please tell me that question was a joke. much better compression, JE pistons are great the wont melt at least they havent on my last 2 builds B series turbos in civic coupes running 25lbs of boost.
if you run to lean with a turbo youll have to worry about other things way before the piston melts. As far as the pistons i didnt read anywhere in this post about maviryk turboing his bike it looks to me like he is trying to get as much HP as possible going NA so those high compression pistons look like a great addition. I run JE low compression pistons in my civics.No....it wasn't a joke! Why would you want to increase your compression with a turbo? That doesn't make any sense.

I have JE turbo pistons(like the ones in the second pic) in the turbo bike now. I'll agree....they're better because they're stronger but they'll melt just as easy as stock ones if you run it too lean!
OK....my bad.....there was miscommunication on my part regarding the turbo thing. I thought you were referring to higher compression being better for turbos.if you run to lean with a turbo youll have to worry about other things way before the piston melts.
