Fmu snd Pump on B16a2 99 si
 

question for you guys and anyone out there with my same POS car,i wanted to go with the afc and DSM injec. but im a cheap ass, so im gonna buy a 12:1 fmu and inline pump, i want to run about 8-9 PSI, i have T3 running at 6PSI with a shitty small saab intercooler and i dont have the time retarded at all, im getting front mount and my question is...does anyone have a set up this with my same engine and if so, hows it running and do i need to retard my timing?

Re:Fmu snd Pump on B16a2 99 si
 

im confused...you are running 6 psi now with no management?

Re:Fmu snd Pump on B16a2 99 si
 

sorry, right now i just have a fmu from a merkur, but it sucks, anything higher that 6psi and it starts pinging, the ratio for the one i have now must suck.

you think im going to blow it to ----?

Re:Fmu snd Pump on B16a2 99 si
 

Right now at 6 psi and a "noname" fmu, it will probably last a little while like that. It depends on what condition the motor is in. With the pump and 12:1 fmu at 8-9 psi, it will have a short lived life, but you will have fun while it lasts.

how short lived do you think, i dont even drive the car every day and the vortech kits come with the same fuel management and i dont think they would sell something that wouldnt be reliable??? and a supercharger and turbo are almost the same, would i have to retard my timing with that setup?

Re:Fmu snd Pump on B16a2 99 si
 

I'm just not a big fan of boosting with no fuel management. Its just risky business. I'm sure people actually use those kits just how they come, but probably not at 9 psi and they are probably the ones you here saying "Ah ----, I blew my ------- motor after only one month of installing my kit". Those kits usually come with a 6 psi pulley.

I'm sure you could run it for a while like that, but do you want to spend the money on a new motor, or go ahead and get some sort of fuel management unit now and save yourself the headache?
