The next week i will put the turbo kit in my car ;D.....it's a 05 civic with the d17a1 engine (sohc non-vtec).I think that i will run @ 6 psi? :y it is ok?......I have:

manifold
t3-t4 turbocharger + oil line
wastegate
Saab Side Mount Intercooler
Charge pipes came out from a dsm and from a volvo turbo :S
greddy type rs blow of valve

here is my questions: 1)what other thing i need? 2) i have a BLOX FMU 12:1,......for engine management, this will work?....or what other thing i need?!! ???

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

good luck with that. nice turbo

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

i think 6psi is good enough to stock engine using FMU

but my advice to decide in the future to change the fmu with any electronic method (chip, safc+cold spark blug+ rotat your destributor, stand alon managment) and the big injectors
but of cours the chiping is the best at all.

Don't give advise unless you know wtf you are taking about.

It will run and most likely not blow up, but it wont run nearly as well as it would with proper management. I'd advise you to upgrade your fuel pump if you're running an FMU. As far as the other stuff you'll need, check the stickys in the FI forum.

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

a t3 to t4? does the compressor wheel change like a transformer into a .92 t4 wheel, back into a .48 t3 wheel for lowend?

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

You guys did all read that this is an '05 Civic right? There are arent chipping upgrades that I know of yet...

Tunability is limited to Emanage, AFC (maybe) and Hond$t$ might have a reflash out...who knows.

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

Hi German, jejeje, im going to install his turbo kit ;D

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

ahhh i thought you couldnt use a fmu on them becouse there is no return line

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

$20 chipping kit huh how you going to get the old chip out and the new one in ???

ohhh you for got to add the price of a desodering tool and a soder gun

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

so since your chipping the ecu you dont need a
"Upgrade to HP fuel pump" ill leave it at that and you should quite while your far enough behind, since its a 05 i would just run 6 psi and a fmu, run 91+ or higher and have fun ;D

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

You're correct...'01-'05 is returnless fuel system. You'd have to convert to a return fuel system before you could even try the fmu. You're kinda up ----'s creek for this car.

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

lol you just got fucked in the ass noob

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

I COULDNT USE A FMU? :3....SO WHAT I CAN DO?, WHAT OTHER THING I CAN USE? :-\

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

dude d17's are the black sheep of D-series motors. They just suck balls for anything performance all around. I suppose you're going to have to convert to a return line fuel system before you can do anything down the line of an FMU.

Maybe injectors and an AFC would still work? What pressures do those returnless systems run at?

Re: FMU QUESTION!!.........help me
 

yeah, im gonna install the SAFC to tune my car...but i have another question ???....the dsm injectors will fit in my car? :S....or what injectors i need?...THANK YOU :y
