I know fmu's are not reccomended and its better to run a base map and have it dynoed but, im just throwing together a junk yard turbo kit for my 95 accord (that wouldnt sell...) and i could care less if it will eventually blow my 200k mile old motor. So lets put all the fmu hating all aside..

I dont have the money or time to have my ecu chipped and flat bed it down to the city to have it dynoed. Im just wondering which ratio rrpfr i should use for now. I have a rebuilt t3-t4 i bought off my friend on a f23 block and h23 head with no aftermarket internals. Im shooting for about 5-7 lbs of boost. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Eric

 

The norm back when FMU's roamed the earth was 12:1 with stock injectors.

x2 also i dont hate on fmu's there great for budget low boost set ups, ive had friends rock fmu's with 12psi for years with no problems just make sure to upgrade your fuel pump FOR SURE.

 

Yea i have a friend who have a 03 caviler thats running 8lbs with a begi rrfpr. He's never had any problems. Im looking into a cheapy OBX one. Does any one have any experience with the? And are they adjustable for fine tuning or should i use a v-afc to help out with fine tuning?

thanks

You don't have money for a chipped ECU but you have money for an FMU AND a V-AFC?

you do know that tuning software is free, right?

 

I already have a vafc. But dont i have to buy a P28-p72 ecu, chip burner and a romulator?

 

If you already have the VAFC then I guess go for it, btu don't be suprised when it's a pain in the *** to work with and never runs right.

 

I think anytime that the letters FMU are put up on this board, a hand should immediatly come out of the monitor and smack the **** out of the typer.


Its freaking 2007, FMUs weren't cool in 1999.

hater, i dont care what year it is, people still use the crappy *** jr roots blowers that came out like in the 1920's... its cheap its reliable, what more do you want, for a guy who wants 250whp or less its an excellent option imo... dont get me wrong, i am a firm believer in proper tuning for max power, thats why i have aem ems... but i dont expect everybody to run it.

and im pretty sure your not allowed to use large font in your sig... but thats on you.

 

i have a begi on my crx. several people i know have them on their sandrails. i havent had any problems with mine yet but im in the same boat as you, if it blows im not out much. on the other hand at $200 your halfway to getting all the stuff you need to tune it properly.
