FMU or AFC hack?
Allright need your advice here: AFC hack or FMU
Setup: d16y7 motor (Automatic till my turbo kills it then swap
)
14b turbo at 8 PSI
Intercooler of course havent got it yet thou
What would you guys suggest? Don't plan on bumping up the boost until I gets rods and pistions which will be a while. Any info is appreciated!

Re: FMU or AFC hack?
You need to read the engine management thread AGAIN AND AGAING UNTIL YOU KNOW IT. FMU most tards can do that. AFC works but you will need to retard timing at the dizzy or a btm and probably then use both over 5 psi. And if you are smart you will get an ecu. Take it from me, afc's and btms look cool but you just don't get the horsepower and you can save so much in gas with a ostrich and obd1. I got a 260+ hp b16a2 civic getting 35 miles to the gallon and its a daily driver in 100+ degree ---- *** weather. I know there are guys on here probably getting 40+ miles to the gallon and have 300 hp civics. When i ran the afc i got at best 28 miles per gallon and it ran crappy.

Re: FMU or AFC hack?
Oh Ya, i didnt read your last sentence
You can boost higher then 8 with a stock engine with a good tune. My engine is completely stock. You don't have to put all that money into the engine with good engine management. I know how your feeling, my poor fmu or afc, well it sucks until you get your computer plugged into your car computer and everyone thinks your some super smart car guy and all you did was read what some genius wrote and did, but of course i let them think i am smart. Someone already did it for you, now use it!!!
