if a fmu setup is the way you want to go... you need an inline (bosche preferred) and a vortech fmu (12:1). i would recommend a missing link. from there.. you can see where your air/fuel ratio needs improvement.
better yet... if you have the money, get Hondata.

i would recomend a intank pump over inline.
easy to install and, quieter, and i don't like the idea of two pumps....one pushing and the other pulling

Oh yeah, I say if you plan on up grading to a stand alone system the future, then just run check valves for the time being, and save the money you would have spent on a bling bling missing link. That's what I'm doing, at least

Re: what else do i need with a fmu set up? (johnisenglish)
if i use the inline fuel pump will i also have to upgrade the the intank?
i plan on using the smc and dsm 450's later on so,i am just using the fmu for the time being.
is the missing link necessary?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know for an FMU, an Inline fuel pump is the way to go, as it produces more pressure (which is needed, because that's exactly what an FMU uses) then does an Intake, which produces moves more volume, which in needed for larger injectors.

But since he's going to be using dsm 440's and smc i recomend the high volume.

Re: what else do i need with a fmu set up? (wickedxboi)
seems to be a debate on which fuel pump to use.
why not an inline with 450 injectors. i hear many people use the 255 walbro with the 450's

Re: what else do i need with a fmu set up? (wickedxboi)
here's what i use. Vortech FMU 12:1 disk, rc 440 injectors, missing link, walbro 255lph intank pump, safc. Depending on how much hp and what you plan on doing, you might want to step up to 550cc injectors a big *** pump and bigger fuel lines. On the setup i'm using now at 10psi the car made 326hp and 221ft. lbs of torque. With a bigger pump and lines the car will make over 500hp.

Re: what else do i need with a fmu set up? (wickedxboi)
wouldn't the 12:1 disk force way too much fuel through 450cc injectors. they would let a larger volume of fuel through so he would need less pressure. like an 8:1 or 6:1 disk, right? my 12:1 disk pegs out my 100psi guage at 8-9psi of boost.
Edit: with an inline pump
Edit: oh yeah, and get a missing link, those fish tank valves are crap
