holy crap i agree, these kids are being a little cocky about a simple d16z6 psi question. What does it matter if ya blow another engine. trial and error right? on the safe side you should only be boostin' like 6 psi in that sexy little SOHC you call an engine. you could be ballsy and push for like 10 but geez not if you havn't uber'd it.

you previously posted before that it had a backfiring problem, thats not good for a good running motor...

your motor will not last long with just an fmu for tuning. he told you that and your response was 'I have an f150 that runs 10's, nuff said'. yeah, you were right, nuff said.

 

IIRC fmu's advance the timing at high revs, and increasing manifold pressure. That's a formula for a blown engine. I would look into at least changing the timing, and don't forget colder plugs and smaller gaps. My wife's runs 14psi and it's set to 5˚ after top dead center. The timing is set by applying pressure (with an air pump) to vaccum/pressure sensor, while taking the engine to the desired revs (800rpm, idle, in her case).
The issue with a fmu is single mode performance. You need to keep the factory timing and fuel curves while not boosting. Boost-mode curves to be used when needed, aren't in a fmu. So you end up with a nasty mix of curves.

thanks, i've had a boring day at work, i needed a good laugh.

btw, i wouldn't be making fun of his name if i were you, special ed seems to have a much better grasp on things than you do.</TD></TR></TABLE>

This dood is definitely clown shoes. You have to love the dig on my name even though his is F150 in a Honda forum. What a douche! 10's, nuff said about what?
