Re:FMU's that horrible?
 
dude... everything u need for uber cost less then 100 bux... the burner is already complete so what are u talkin about building? the choice is yours... LS/vtec sleeved with uber = 300+ but the same setup with jus an afc = less then 250... im not tryna tell u what to do im jus tryna hop on the bandwagon and keep up with the world jus like everybody else... if afc's were that great then everyone would still be using them... why does whitey want uber now? cause he realizes u can make more power

Re:FMU's that horrible?
 
With all this uber confusion I must say im not ready for it yet.Im still an ubernoob.Will an fmu work for the time being,until i can learn more about uber?Id love to just pay someone to do the ---- for me but it doesnt seem like that can happen.Therefore an fmu is all id be able to toy with at the moment.Will it be ok @6psi until im ready to sell it and move on with bigger and better things(uberdata)?Im in the process of gathering parts here and fuel management has me stuck!Someone wanna donate their greddy emanage?JAhahahaha........

Yes i have been running on a fmu for the past six months, never had a problem but now i do. Dont know whether it has anything to do with the fmu though, but checking on it and will definitely post on solving the prob.Have a missing at 4500+ rpms and then its gone after that.

Re:FMU's that horrible?
 
cool,i might try out the fmu just to get the kit going then upgrade to uber later....6 months would be more than enough time to survive with the fmu...FMU now Uber later....when he chips the ecus with a basemap isnt it just a chip-in-socket that i can always remove down the road so my ecu functions stock again?No need for another ecu in that case...just more money blown.

wtf
afc hacks severely advance your timing.
ull blow up your engine sooner or later. i am running turboedit right now, and have used fmu and afc hack before. Fmu ran like ----, afc hack, way too much timing for my liking, and way too rich at idle, not to forget shitty MPG's and hardly any tunability especially with timing. When I switched to turboedit it turned into a whole new machine. Think about it, do it right the 1st time, car manufacturers dont use fmu's and afc hacks in there c ars, they reprogram the ecu, simple.
Soldering the socket in is easy, burner is cheap as hell, for the whole price i paid for all my TE stuff i paid 2x more for my shitty fmu.
