Tony1 custom turbo kit dynoed
Yesterday tony asked me if I come tune an FMU on the dyno.(inside joke if you noticed my title). Any how here is the set up.
-92-95 civic Si hatchback
-Stock b18c w/ skunk2 intake manifold.
-Greddy SP exhuast w/no cat.
-Stock injectors/msd fuel pump/ missing link/ and Vortech FMU
-Jotech Meng header manifold
- Spearco 24 x 11 x 3 intercooler
-Tial wastegate
-MSD Digital 6 Ignition
This is the meng header that cracked, but tony rewelded it up.
And the dyno @ .5 Bar:
Tony, call me the next time you need a FMU tuned.

Re: Tony1 custom turbo kit dynoed (gsrt)
I talked tony and this is what he told me about the MENG vs the full-race mani:
The other manifold is more prone to cracking, but if you support the turbo from the bottom to the block you should be alright. The collector isn't as nice as the full-race though.

****, tunning stand alone is not my forte.. I only tune fmu! I think if he ran a stand alone and at 10-12psi he'll get at least 335-350whp. Easy.

Re: Tony1 custom turbo kit dynoed (J2turbo21)
How do you tune a FMU?Thats like a vortec 12:1 something like that?
Me and chris(direp) also laugh when people say, "I need to get my car tuned!" when all they have is a FMU. There isnt anything to tune. But I have a secret with tunning the FMU and if I tell you I have to kill you..

DAMN IT ART! when i read the title i couldnt believe jo-tech had the motor running this quick! but then i looked inside and was kinda disappointed that it was something else. talk about build up and let down, ****! good job on tunning though!
