Default turbo for a '90 accord

i want to turbo my 1990 2.2 F22A1 accord, but i have no idea how to tune it afterwards. i want to do it myself to learn. i mainly want to know about the air/fuel ratio. anybody know how or have advice?

www.pgmfi.org

youre lucky cause you have the right ecu to mod, but thats the place you want to go to find out a lot of info about a/f ratio's and various other programming seeing as they give suggestions of chip burning programs and what not

yeah, thats kinda funny it worked when i posted it..... maybe they forgot to pay their bill lol

basically its going to take a wideband kit and a lot of dyno time, and you will be looking at the various throttle levels to find out what you need for the a/f ratio
but dyno tuning = not cheap but its the only way youre going to youre going to find out where you can get the ideal mixure.... yes you can do the tuning without a dyno but you will be far less accurate
on top of that you can setup your ecu to be chipped which means you an burn your own chips and tell it what you want the a/f ratio to be, but im sure you can get files for your year of car and engine seeing as you are running obd0....

i hope that was the specifics youre looking for.... unfortunately i cant say exactly what you need because i have very time in doing ecu programming/fuel injection map altering etc

thanx for the tips. oh, by the way, i am actually running an obd1. i honestly haven't been able to tell the difference yet, but i am researching it religiously. i am kinda new to this whole "tuning" thing and i have to learn from the ground up. but thanx again for your help.

He doesn’t have the right ecu as someone put it. He will need a p06 ecu from a 92-95 civic dx.

Pgmfi.org
Cb7tuner.com/vbb
homemadeturbo.com
accordinglydone.com
These are all great websites to search.

i have been doing a little bit of research and i found quite a few ecu's that i could use. mainly old lexus ecu's. what do you guys think? i kinda have this thing against civics. and where do you think i can get a hold of a chipped ecu?

A Lexus ecu? What the ****...Can you post the link that provided you with that information? Just use a p06. It’ll save you the trouble. If you are serious, I can have my friend chip youan ecu. PM me if you are interested.
