I bought the drag kit and the kit came with vortech 12:1 FMU...I have a vafc 2 and i was wondering if i can use the vafc2 instead of the vortech fmu...or do i install both!

Oh yeah if i have to use one of them...which one is better?

 

The afc is better. You will need some injectors probably dsm 450cc's to run it. Either way neither of them is that good.

 

thanx!!!...Injectors will do!!!

 

i would rather run the fmu than vafc. but that's just me. lol you can only use one or the other.

nope, it's me too.

an FMU is not the smoothest thing but if run with an inline high pressure fuel pump you're in decent shape.

the AFC throws your ignition timing all off.

I personally ran an FMU for almost 1 year at ~7 psi and never had one problem. I switched to the hack and a few months later had broken ringlands.

Now I've smartened up, sold both, and am running the AEM EMS.

Not all of us have $1000+ to spend on a standalone.

 

I got it for well under $1000

You don't need to spend $1000...uberdata is free and crome is avaliable at low cost too.

 

sell both fmu and vafc and get Crome

 

would it be ok if i drove my car about 40 miles to get my car tuned...If i dont install the fmu and run the car with the vafc tuned to stock settings,

 

but if you put a FMU isnt necessary to tune , not?

 

tuning is a REQUIREMENT

yes but if you're only running an FMU there's not very much tuning you can do.

 

ok , but for example, the FMU 12:1 , it works that per 1 PSI of boost , the FMU raises 12 PSI for fuel pressure , right? so , what tuning does it need?

 

fuel isnt everything with tuning my friend. I never understood why people spend so much money on a turbo kit and half *** it to keep the motor at safe parameters

nono, keep them both and get a BTM lol... keep the crap pile going.

 

mm i'm confuse haha, if a put a turbo on a civic for example, is necessary too to tune if a put a FMU? (but it does not adjust the A/R alone) ?

 

take out the FMU, throw bigger injectors in there and get it tuned.

when are people going to realize that turbo is not a bolt on?
