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.

Can you give me some more info on your turbo kit and maybe some prices,im planning on buying my pieces in the next couple of weeks.Also Some pics on your intercooler,im planning on using the same size and i need some ideas about mounting it and if i need to remove the support bar.

 

wow...those are really impressive numbers.

 

Holy gebezus! .5bar?!

 

"This is the meng header that cracked, but tony rewelded it up."
does meng header easy to crack? because i think i will buy it.

 

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.

 

Nice.

Art, shouldn't your title be TurboMafia FMU Master?

Damn, 284 of ~7 psi nice job tuning art how much do you think can be extracted with a standalone?

 

****, 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.

how much did you buy it?

 

very nice

forget about legal turbo kits, i need one of those.

 

Art,

That is Crazy power in a little hatch like that maybe I should have had you fly out to des moines when I still had my fmu setup ...

By the way what kind of egt levels were you seeing full throttle of course...????

Laters,

Adi

 

you didn't say what turbo you used...what A/R...what trim??? I'm curious..but even more impressed...

I might forget aboutt eh whole standalone deal and drive down to texas and have Art install and tune my FMU

 

How do you tune a FMU?Thats like a vortec 12:1 something like that?

 

sick #'s. I am amazed. how high did u rev it too? it looks like another 500rpm's would have kept making power.

just plain sick.

 

thats the joke, you dont. 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!

 

very nice! nice engine bay too

 

HEHEH ok i was just making sure,cause i aint never heard of anyone tuning an fmu.Nice thought,i was gonna go with the meng header but i want something a little bit better.Nice numbers thought.Also how much psi is .5bar,like 7.5psi something like that?

 

hey art, you should come tune my FMU lol

those are really good numbers, hope my ls/vtec turbo w/ gsr cams/pistons can pull decent ones this spring when its in at 12-14 psi...hoping for 330-350 if im lucky...*fingers crossed*

 

I had to cut it out at 8200 because it is still a stock ecu. I would've definitely gone at least another 500 or so and probably would've been really close to 300whp. I've got another project in the works, a street car that should make some really good numbers. I'll keep you guys updated on that one.

 

i've seen that dyno sheet.
veeery nice numbers @ .5 bar
tony's tuning my car!!

 

nice #'s
