need help with fmu install
Trending Topics
Dude. shhhh. You were eight years old when guys were running 9s with FMUs. yeah, a FMU sucks compared to modern options, but for you to suggest running stock 1:1 regulator over an fmu proves that you're just stringing words together for the fun of it.
Eleven years ago I was running a FMU on my D.D sohc turbo. It worked flawlessly with 370 cc injectors and an SX fpr. the car ran 12.0's just pulling a sub box out slapping on slicks and turning the boost up, and 11.30's in a gutted crx after that..This was before we had other options like Hondata, Crome, etc. There are much better methods of management available today, but that doesn't make FMU's junk, just old school technology.

nopethats correct i justinstalledafmu yesterdayon myboosted b18c new technology costwaytomuch hondatais amazing if u can front the cash but from my understanding an fmu is good up to 9psi anythuingafter 9 u need to upgrade
really u ran high boost on an fmu and everything was good dam that makes me happy now i wont have to fork out for hondata for a little while yet how did it run on 20psi of boost what was all done to your motor
The difference is there were no other options back then. No Hondata, crome, nothing. It was a crude way of adding fuel, but it can be done. Just make sure you have an assortment of diaphragms. The motor was a D16a6 block, LS rods rebushed for sohc wristpins, arp rod bolts, srp pistons, stock D16z6 head. Garrett T3, RC 370's, SX fpr.
