FMU Safety?
I was thinking about downgrading my setup a bit, and converting from EMS to an FMU. I have been having some serious problems with tuning, and I want to do something more simple. Just wondeirng, with lets say 550ccs, and and FMU, how many pounds can i run and still have the FMU be efficient?
Any help will be appreciated

With an FMU there is no safety.... with 550's you need to control them or else ur car will not idle, it will run wayy too rich. FMU's just push more fuel pressure in and max out ur exisiting injectors. Just try to figure out the AEM ems, or sell it and go Uberdata

Re: FMU Safety? (g2_boosted)
440cc and FMU 12:1 or 10:1 works great if pusing 10-15psi. use a chiped p28 ecu with a good turbo chip of course(not all motor..durh) and a VAFC2...oh and strap it on a dyno with wideband O2.....tune the heck out of it...
it'll work... and idle good.. just need to get the right people to help you tune it..awesome setup..
AEM would be best bet, but whatever works right!!!!

Wtf?!
With chipped ECU, you DON'T NEED FMU, actually it'll just screw things up!
440cc injectors are good for 250whp

what the **** ever! fmu's are good up until about 7psi then anything over that and your pushing your luck.

i know of ppl who'v run 10psi boost on sohc and over 200whp with just fmu and injectors..
of course same person has been through a few engines too..
so if you're down to use engines like batterys, then sure go for it

Re: (Tad)
I dont give a **** what anyone says. I know someone who made 522 whp on 550's and a cartech FMU. Don't knock it if your haven't tried it. I have AEM right now, and it isnt everything that it is made out to be.

Re: (JDMHatch4Me)
I feel ya on that , tuning a turbo motor can be a pain but an FMU can do nothing for timing and that is something that needs to be tuned also . You can run a FMU for over 500 whp this is true but I think you will be better off trying to figure the EMS out . Use if a VAFC is not very good with a turbo since its just a map modifier and will change timing maps also , if you cant get it figured then like was said before try crome or uberdata , these are well free but donations to the learning cause are appreciated .

If you seriously can't get a car running with the AEM you need to go pay somebody to set your car up right, going to an FMU isn't going to solve ****.

I have tried using an fmu before and now I have the AEM EMS.. And I think that it is everything it is made out to be.. Hondata is the one that isnt all its cracked up to be..

I have seen how AEM EMS works and it just just so ******* awesome. Theres so much tuning capability.
