Greddy 15g turbo, which FMU set up?
I got a used 15g turbo for my 98 civic, and I am planning to boost about 7psi. I want to use a FMU since I am not planning to boost higher. I am on a budget and don't want to do vafc hack or anything like that. The guy that sold me the turbo used a Vortech 12:1 FMU, but he was running rich, and he went through 3 o2 sensors within 2 yrs. I was wondering, what is the best way for me if I use want to boost 7psi. Should I go with a Fuel pressure regulator, or should i try something like a 10:1 FMU because I dont want to run too rich and kill my cat and o2 sensors.

</TD></TR></TABLE>Racepak, he's on budget(see his quote below). He wanted to know if he can boost 7lbs on an FMU without hurting is engine and o2.

On an FMU i would run 5lb maybe 6lbs max.........if you do more than that, I think you'd be putting too much stress on the fuel components (ie. injectors, lines, pump). You can get a chipped ECU and some decent size injectors for a reasonable price.......BUT the tuning would cost you.

for 30 bucks you could chip your ecu and run a crome/uberdata basemap that will be 1000X better than an fmu...
edit i saw you have a 98, sucks for you
