Default Hondata + base map for boost = No FMU needed ?

Okay I have a b20vtec all motor set up and its tune on a s200 hondata. I deicded to go boost and build an lsvtec with a sc61 turbo custom kit. I will be purchasing some 720cc injectors with a walbro 255lph intake pump. I was wonder if i get the boost opition for my hondata and a place taht tune hondata to burn me a base program like and ITR program with boost. Will that mean i wont be needing the FMU no more and i can boost with just the base program ?

thanx for the help guys

I wouldn't go boosting much with a base map. With a tuned hondata you won't need the FMU as hondata takes care of that.

No FMU, no missing link, no vtec controller.

The hondata does everything the VAFC does, and more. AVC-R you MIGHT want to keep, as hondata does not support gear dependant boost control as of yet, but I think you can control it based on speed, as long as you have the boost control solenoid.

I heard that Gruvytune and a few other people on this board have better basemaps than the hondata ones. Talk to them first.

But regardless, your still gonna need to get your car tuned for maximum output and safety.

The whole point of an FMU is to allw you to run boost without buying larger injectors. With 720's, there is no reason for an FMU.

I'd toss the fmu and get a quality fpr. toss the afc ... keep the avc-r.. lay off boost and get tuned.

Let's bring this up once more, Ok, now that I got hondata, AVCR and bigger injectors, do I still need a high pressure fuel pump?? If so, which one would you guys recommend??

thanks for all the help.

High fuel preasure helps if you want ot make alot of power. Its better to run a high fuel preasure so that you can run a lower Fuel preasure. I think on hondata site , they talk and explain very good in detal why to have a low fuel preasure when it comes to boosting. I would suggest a Walbro 255lph fuel pump

isn't the whole point of larger injectors is so that you get more fuel with less pressure?
my inline fuel pump and FMU have me scared s#!itless! the poor stock injectors are getting killed under all the pressure.
i didn't think you needed a fuel pump when using larger injectors......?
just a question. maybe i have the wrong idea.

mmm bigger pump.. bigger injectors = more fuel into the engine just think if the injecters are so big and little pressure imagine not getting enough fuel to them and BOOM your lean and rebuilding your engine

DO NOT boost on a basemap. If your that impatient and cant resist boosting right before you get tuned, maybe you should not have a turbo. Please just wait till you get to the dyno. I dont want to hear anymroe stories of blown motors

even i wait until i do have enough money to get it tune. I will need to put the turbo in and drive to get my car " tune " either way i need to either run an FMU or run a base program. Thanx for your replay, I know its not good to boost on a untune motor but either way i will have to drive it without it tune first. So then its better off getting an FMU and run 8lbs until i get it and ditch the fmu right ?
