well its like this, i dont have money for chipped ecu, and obd1 conversion harness. So what i have now is my t3/t4 kit with fmu, and missing link. My wastegate is set at 8psi...my motor has forged rods, and low comp pistons. plus i have a wal bro 255 fuel pump. Do you think i can run like this for about 2 months, until i have money for all the stuff and time on the dyno? should i buy a fpr? in other words is it worth the money to save my motor. I know most of you guys dont think i should do this, but im dying, i want boost soo bad. Im not going to run it hard, just wanna see what its got. btw i have stock injectors. I hear of some ppl on here that have ran fmu's for years and there still running good, and ill only be running 8psi, low boost. What do you think?

 

I would wait. Better safe than sorry.

Exactly, and once you get the feeling of boost you wont want to keep your foot off the gas.

 

i ran 3 years with an fmu, and my friends type r is still on one. dont go higher than 6-8 psi and no long 4th or 5th gear pulls.

 

You'll be fine for a bit, just don't increase boost. Plenty of setups have run fine with it before EPROM'd / Standalones became available. Just be responsible, and make sure that your connections, hoses, and lines are up to par.

There was a world of turbo hondas before Hondata/Uber/Crome/AEM..

 

its true that there was before uber and what not, but why risk smoking a cylinder with such cheap, great options out there. Specialy on a b motor, which is also built. If it was a cheap *** D, then i'd be more likely to say do it.

 

its cheap, but i need a obd1 chipped ecu...(150) or so...obd1 conversion harness (75) and time on the dyno...(250) or so...i dont plan on boostin hard in 4 and definately not 5th until tuned. after i get it on, all the money i make will be saved for the stuff i need in order to be on the dyno...will a fpr help me save my motor, or dont waste the money?

 

get a chipped ecu. See my sig if you want it done for a reasonable price. Much safer than a FPR.
